I'm sorry, but if Woy had been after Adam you'd have all be citing lack of ambition, 'not a Liverpool player' etc etc

It may be ridiculous in your opinion but that's the way it is now, a 7 man bench and have you seen outs lately? it's so weak, full of inexperienced youngsters we can't afford injuries otherwise we're in big trouble, outside out first 14 or so players we are lacking quality, I agree you don't need a huge squad as it does cause problems, the problem our squad's really weak, we are desperate for quality in my opinion. We've lost Pienaar so now we are a creative player down and Arteta's been hit and miss all season so I'm getting quite concerned, I don't want to be scrounging around in the bottom half of the league but the way we are going we will be for a long time. It doesn't make any sense to send Yakubu out on loan or sell Pienaar if we don't replace them. Saha is injury prone and Beckford is still developing in this league, out midfield's been underperforming all season yet Moyes lets out two best in those positions, IMO, leave. Baffling.




To be honest the way things are looking and considering there's only one week of January left I'm getting really concerned about us now, it's not just about the squad size but the lack of quality. Look at our bench against you last week mate, so inexperienced and so weak. If we picked up even two or three injuries we've got kids to come in and that's it. We're scrambling around in the bottom half of the league and for a lot of this season we have been so so poor, disguised by some good results against the top five and a derby win in November. I can't believe Moyes has let Yakubu and Pienaar leave and, at the moment, there's no signs of replacements. It's a big worry.

Is Adam the kind of player Liverpool are now trying attract?

I think its quite apparent that we are on our knees financially, and have been for a while....Even the odd splurge we used to have (Feillani, Billy, Yakubu ) isn't happening any more.

Whatever some people may think on the subject, the rejection of the Kirkby move was a huge nail in the Everton coffin as a competitive Premier League club.....Moyes is feeding on crumbs and releasing Pienaar, Yakubu, Vaughan is a neccessity to stay alive. I fully expect Rodwell to provide the next financial lifeline in the summer.

My main surprise is that Moyes continues to hang around.....Being so highly thought of, he wouldn't be short of decent offers and he is already quoted as saying he wouldn't hang around if our progress stalled, which in the last 18 months, it obviously has.

The only hope that I have, is that the last time we were this low, was when Rooney left, followed by a few of our stalwarts of the time, and at that point we looked pretty much doomed, yet with a couple of bargain buys (Cahill & Bent) we actually began our most successful era for a while, which, unfortunately, we haven't managed to build on due to a serious lack of investment.

Possibly more that he's the kind of player Liverpool are now able to attract.

Might not be world class, but he's got a very good brain and passing game. Judging by the post Blackpool game soundbites I think we're finally at the stage where Liverpool fans realising that they are currently a lower-midtable team and there isn't a quick fix available. I just think it's a bit sad that they needed the return of the messiah before they'd admit it. Hodgson was the right man for the job that needed to be done IMO, it was just that few were prepared to admit that.

Totally agree. The differing treatment of Hodgson and Dalglish is appalling IMO. I realise why, but it's still not right.

You're become boring with all these, "If Hodgson would of done that" or "If Hodgson would of signed him" posts. Hodgson has gone now and deserved to go.

Absolutely bang on that. How long until Dalglish wears out his welcome? The guy surely needs to get a result soon.

I take it you're making some kind of a joke ? comparing Adam with Alonso ?

the day you lost Alonso was the beginning of the end...........

Brad Friedel declared bankrupt? That's him playing until he's 45.

Again, not comparing. Just people who have similar attributes. Modric doesn't anyhow IMO.
