He has confidence, and that's the most important thing. I saw Lucas ignore SG's demands for the ball a few times tonight, which he never used to do, he would trust anyone other than himself. I'm glad he is taking the initiative more now. Shelvey is born with initiative though, he trusts himself, and that's a great sign.

Shelvey looks a confident, focused, determined fucker - good stuff.

I hate to make this comparison, but he's not unlike Gerrard.

The way he moves, his gait, is not too dissimilar to Gerrard.
 
What was the version of the bounce song being sung today?

We really need a good version of it, cos that song is awesome, and OURS. In fact the more I think about it, the more I realise that the song was actually the best thing about him.

We should re-do it mentioning the old greats

Gerrard's hallmark is his dynamism.

I don't see that in Shelvey.
[/quote]

He's no Gerrard. Shelvey is more of a Carrick.
[/quote]

A Carrick? He's much closer to young Gerrard than a Carrick.

There is somebody 'bigger' than Gerrard at the club now. Someone even Gerrard looks up too. Maybe Lucas used to feel intimidated and that's been taken away by the new 'main man'. Just a guess, of course.
 
My brother called me during the game (Man U fan).
- What kind of football are they playing? It's like 80s style. This Liverpool team can't play like that.
(ME) - Well Reina hasn't had anything to do so...
- Doesn't matter he (Dalglish) shouldn't play like that, if it was a better team than Stoke they wouldn't let you pass it around like that.

I think they're worried.

Shelvey is more of a Carrick.
[/quote]

He is NOTHING AT ALL like Carrick.

Honestly!

Carrick is a holding midfielder, Shelvey is comfortable around the box has good feet and can thread a ball through the defence.

He might not make it at the top level but he'll end up an attacking-mid for someone.

Like someone else mentioned. What made Gerrard special was his bursting runs, remember Sheffield? Gerrard was more dynamic(is more dynamic).
Shelvey is more Carrick than Gerrard.
Maybe he's a Lamplard.

I agree he's not a Gerrard clone. I don't think one exists.

But you've now gone from Carrick to Lampard, which is closer, but how you could go from one to the other is just beyoond me.

You're just saying names of English CMs

Aye, I was surprised that people were calling 4-4-2 when we'd been told by Shrek that it was 3 at the back. He's rarely wrong, and appreciated for that.

Sunday...

Chelsea - Liverpool 0-2

24th Cole
57th Cole

Red cards: Torres 82nd
 
I've just paid attention to the start to MOTD properly for the first time this season. Stanley Matthews receiving a throw from Rory Delap amongst other badly put together images.

Oh dear.
