What against Portsmouth an Burnley? Think these games may have misled the guys stats and your view on him. Portsmouth resting players and Burnley played suicide football. We scored four in both.
Stats don't skewer my view on him at all as I watched him play they just lend credence to my opinion.
Lets just say in terms of the pass and move football we are trying to implement at Liverpool under Kenny, Aquilani is arguably the best player in our current squad of players in terms of that ability.
You only have to watch him play Gazza in even our Rigid system under Rafa, when he received a pass his head was up and he picked out a pass more often than not playing a one touch ball, the moment he played the pass, he moved into space ready to receive or demand the ball again, he's the type of player that creates pockets of space for himself to play in.
Watch the video's tell me I'm wrong.
Aquilani vs PortsmouthAlberto Aquilani V Atletico MadridAquilani vs WiganAquilani vs Reading 13/01/10Now if Charlie Adam was the quality of player some would have you believe then his form wouldn't have dipped so dramatically following January as some have implied it's because teams close him down quicker, well seriously if he was quality, then just like Aquilani he'd create little pockets of space for himself to play in no ?
Aquilani plays one touch pass and move football, which funnily enough is the etho's this club was built around and what we appear to be turning back too.
