Aquilani, and Maxi..

Status
Not open for further replies.
Aquilani hasn't been great, though I won't judge quite yet. And it amazes me when I read posts claiming that he is the new Veron.

He won't (and shouldn't) start against Arsenal either.
[/quote]

Who should he start against?
 
Aquilani has played one full 90 minutes and has more assists than Lucas.
Maxi is a hard worker.

Both need time.

Players don't get that any more Peatch. Especially on this fucking site. You're an instant success in your first 45 minutes of playing or you're deemed shite and allocated an appropriate derogatory nickname.

This Aquilani business is making my blood boil, because Brendan says he's shit loads will follow. People on this site often look for negatives rather than positives with players. I myself am guilty at times I will admit. People are bringing up Aquilani's bad passes but what about the sublime ones he has made?

Fuck knows.

Mascherano & Gerrard will obviously start.

This leaves him competing with Lucas. Lucas offers more defensively, keeps the ball better, and generally plays well against good sides. We look a lot more solid with Lucas in the side than Aquilani, not to mention the former's excellent ability to break up oppositon play being something that might just come in handy against Arsenal.

I'm not denigrating Aquilani's ability, cos he's got plenty. But for this game, Lucas is the better option.

The worrying thing about Aquilani is that he wasnt trusted to play in the derby. Surely if you spend £20m on him these are the games that he was bought to play in and make a difference.

You're like that retarded parent who buys their kid a pair of £120 Timberland shoes and then moans when they start coming apart because *Mark* has been playing football in the yard at school in them.

"Well, you don't pay a 'UNDRUD pound for shoes and expect that to happen to 'em"

FOH !

So far;

Aquilani - Unsure. Benitez is waiting until we draw Fiorentina U-11s in the Europa Cup before he plays him

Maxi - Set a new record in the Derby for not touching the ball for a whole 45 minutes. Improved in the 2nd half, highlights included one particularly beautiful swan dive
 
Where is all the vitriol coming from, lads? The results are finally starting to go our way for a few games and we're more tooth and nail at each other? I must have missed the memo.

Given Maxi's lack of gametime prior to us, and the difficult fixtures he's been thrown into since joining us four weeks ago, I think he's done well.

He works hard, retains possession all the time, can play in a variety of positions, and has settled in nicely.

Of course, we could have expected him to join us and set the world alight within 4 weeks. But then not all of us are utterly fucking clueless.
[/quote]

Prior to joining us, Maxi had accumulated 24 appearances this season for Atletico. He's hardly been starved of football recently, but I agree with your general point; he need much more time. I don't think he should have started for the derby, though, if Riera was actually fit.

With regards to Aquilani, I'm still confident he'll come good. I was slightly hopeful that he would do an Alonso or a Torres and slot right in, but that hasn't materialised. He's clearly talented, but - like Robbie Keane - doubts remain about where he fits into this Liverpool side, his defensive attributes and his lacklustre levels of concentration at times. He has, however, picked up 2 assists already so it's not all doom and gloom.

Wait and see has to be the general message. I certainly will not rush to judgement on either player just to be the first 'I told you so' in 5 months time.

Stop being sensible!!!

Thanks Fellas....Yeah, assumed the Roman would need time....don't know many Serie A players that don't...

How does Maxi stack up against Garcia thus far- expecting him to be something better?
