Reserves v Blackpool

[the_khl]

Suso makes football look rather easy. Tempo has dropped a bit however which has made it a bit easier I reckon.

The hype surrounding this youngster still seems well justified to be honest, in a year or two he could be pushing for at starting spot at first-team level even.

E-Season ticket on the official in my case.

1-1

Jones caught off his line with a great lobbed shot from a distance.

Not by any means justified but that's football when you don't capitalize on your chances.

 

[the_khl]

Pacheco with a dipping freekick inches wide.

 

[the_khl]

What a combo by Sosu and Pacheco finished of with a splendid save by their keeper.

Pacheco unlucky not to score. Again.

Easily my MOTM.

With Amoo, Mendy, Sosu and Shelvey battling it out for second.

 

[the_khl]

Judging by todays performance Pacheco would instantly give us more flair and make us a more attacking-minded and ball-possessing team.

And we'd even be spoiled with an attacking midfielder not only capable of setting up teammates but also talented and fast enough to take people on. That he's got a great shot on him too is just a bonus really.

Kuyt, Pacheco and Gerrard could be exactly what we'd need in behind Torres come West Ham. Move Raul back in central midfield where he belongs.

What about Shelvey, with Lucas suspended and Poulsen and absolute catastrophe how is he looking for a central midfield role? Ive liked what Ive seen of him so far in that position but admittedly its never been 90 minutes, West Ham is as good a game as any to find out where a few of these youngsters stand, Kelly Pacheco and Shelvey should all have a shout

Nice to see Pacheco fixed his alarm clock....

Based on his performance yesterday he looked ready for another go in the Prem as a starter - but in central. Based on his performance against Wigan it would perhaps be better to give him a few sub appearances to get his morale and belief back up. It all comes down do his psyche but he does seem like a strong lad both mentally and physically.

One thing is for sure he should NOT be applied on either wing again. Not good for him nor Liverpool and it would be a disaster not to at least give Pacheco a go first.
