Ratings vs Young Boys

Don't go all "Brendan - Lucas" on us Woland.
He did well tonight. Credit where it's due.

FUCKING THIS^^^^^!!!

 

[hmmmmm1]

If Brendan can teach Hendo some more tactical nous (like Lucas was taught by Rafa), he could be decent defensive midfielder for us.

Some of the touches Suso showed were great

Coates - I'd sit him down and make him watch old videos of Hyypia every day. If he improves his positional play and decision making he's going to be very good. Great in the tackle and one on ones, comfortable in possession and clearly a real threat in the air every time he takes the field. Hard to judge in that shambles of a defence but looked good in spells.

Carra - sad to say but he's finished. I hope this is his last season and he goes on to coach the youngsters next year because even now we have very little to gain by playing him

Rodgers has been putting Carra ahead of Coates on the bench in the league games - I think / hope this game might give him some ideas about whether he should continue to do that. Sad to see Carra's level fall off so much so quickly, but he's done; we should just promote him to player coach and have him help in the coaching of the kids or new defenders. There's no room for sentimentality here unfortunately.

We should give Carra's place in the Europa League and League Cup to Kelly to try him out at CB, or even to Wilson - give the lad some time to show what he can do or at the very least, put him in the shop window if he hasn't got a future here.
