D'Agger is spot on, give the fella the armband so he can dictate to those in front of him, there was'nt one performance on Saturday you could say was worthy of wearing Liverpool red IMO, it was like going back in time to Hodgsons day, we were sitting to deep inviting swans onto us, and when we did have the ball they were swarming all over us, the gap between midfield and attack was immense so between them Adam, Hendo and Lucas failed to make up ground or run into space and back up Suarez and Carroll, where is a Aquilani when you need him ? Gerrard of course would have been perfect but he is injured,
it's times like these you have to question why players that we clearly need are farmed out on loan, Henderson has simply not been good enough, Adam is not consistent enough and Downing so far has been disappointing and nowhere near what the lad is capable of,
I think changes should be made now because the aforementioned have had long enough, i would bring in Bellamy for Downing on the left, put Spearing in for Hendo, i would promote GJ on the right and bring back Kelly as RB,
the balance of the side would be the same and possibly better, we need to bridge the gap between midfield and attack, bringing in Spearing could provide that link and also give us some muscle in the last third to not only support the front two but to help break up play when we lose the ball, he is young and hungry and could be the perfect box to box player, to me we are weak down the right so it makes sense to have GJ operate in there for his experience and to give another dimension to our play,
i think he can become a decent winger with the ability to tackle, he can cross a ball and he can shoot,so why not use him in that position?,
