He's never actually done anything decent for the first team when he has been given a chance, and none of our last three managers seem to rate him. Even though our latest one at least seems to trust youth. I wish people would stop going on as if he was our saviour, he's obviously not good enough.

Yes, he's probably better than Maxi, Cole whoever, but I doubt he'd make any difference to how rubbish we were tongiht.
 
He's small, weak, and doesn't know when to release the ball?

He doesn't work as hard as honest Dirk?

Maybe he's shit in training or something I really don't know, But he keeps getting picked for Europa League games and during the midweek he scores a beauty for the reserves.

I'm not in any way doubting Dalglish's coaching ability but I want an explanation for him not playing instead of constant underachievers like Maxi.

Why bring on Spearing that late what did he do to change the game?
 
I actually thought Spearing did change the game when he came on, he came deep collected the ball, gave a few passes and upped the tempo. Maybe the latter was a coincidence due to it getting close to the end of the game, but our best chances came after Spearing came on.

He's been poor pretty much every time he's played?

How many times has he played this season and how many times have Cole and Maxi been poor?
I'm just saying give him a chance.

Wilson was fucking wank last time, but he started this game again. OK, maybe injuries was forcing Kenny's hand but I don't buy the "he' been poor everytime he's played" excuse because he has barely played.
I saw one game with him this season against Northampton. I guess that was enough.

Well, seeing as 3 successive Liverpool Managers don't fancy him, he's not all that?
[/quote]

Yup, I really don't think he's going to make it here.

What game did he change? We were still playing hoof ball.
 
Sorry, I though you meant change as in attitude. Obviously he didn't change the result. The only players I think that could have done that for us are Gerrard and Suarez.

Are you suggesting bringing on Pacheco would have stopped us hoofing the ball?

I don't buy that either I think Rafa rated him. Proved it by giving him a contract and he was also a youth player during most of Rafa's time here. Didn't Rafa bring him on in a Europa league game where he assisted Ngog for the winning goal?
This was the year he was going to step up.
 
Didn't Roy single him out for one on one training to improve his positioning? That would ruin anyone's career.
 
Give it up, he's not good enough. Never, ever makes the right decision.

The point about Rafa giving him a new contract and game is void as Rafa also did the same to El Zhar. Should we still have him the squad?

El Zahr is 24 years old. Pacheco was 18 then, that's a big difference.

Maybe? We had no width at all. Wilson was caught with the ball on the wing at several occasions.
 
Seriously Modo your acting a bit mental. The manger works with these players almost everyday, they don't need to see them playing in matches to have an understanding of their ability. If he is good enough he will get a chance.

Rafa rated and gave contracts to Dossena. And Voronin. And Degen. And Morientes. And Carson. And Zenden. And Antwi. And Roque. And Pellegrino. And Sissoko. And Paletta. And Kromkamp. And Leto. And Plessis. And......

Yeah yeah...
 
If Benitez had been right about every player, or even the majority of players, he'd still be our manager and we wouldn't have just reached 5 seasons without a trophy.

Fucking hell.

I'm just saying that this lad should have been given a shot. Mind you Jovanovic wasn't even on the bench and he's been given a chance time and time again.

I agree that if you're prepared to stick him on the bench, and you're chasing a goal, you should stick him on.

I'm not acting a bit mental I am mental right now.
Had he played Pacheco and we still lost I would have said that we at least threw everything we had at them. Now I'm left asking what if?
I mean he's done it once before.

He's played 14 games in total for Liverpool in two seasons.
Started 2 games (Carling cup and Europa League).
Sure he hasn't scored but he just turned 20 in January.
