      I believe the Villa game just showed how badly we need a player of the quality of Xabi or Masch if we are going to get top four. Joe Allen and Lucas (whom I still love) just don't cut it for me and Stevie's legs are going. Would you rather we spend that £30million on a top drawer centre mid like Modric or go for another attacking midfielder like Yarmolenko?

      Bullshit.

      Arguably our best player today in the exact position you're talking about.

      He doesn't have the pace of a few years ago. That's not bullshit buddy.

      And yet is still the best player on the park.

      One or two quality forwards to answer your question.

      One thing we aren't crying out for is another midfielder.

      He can't do it on his own every game. I think for a team that often has three CMs on the pitch, then Lucas, Stevie, Allen, Hendo aren't enough. We'll see though. I hope I'm wrong.

      Since when did centre mids need bags of pace?

      How would Modric solve anything when you're talking about needing an Alonso or Masch?

      Neither.

      Quality Left Winger.

      Brendan Rodgers agrees.

      I'm going to answer your question.

      I felt we struggled to hold onto possession in the 2nd half. This is partially due to the fact that we sat back and invited pressure onto us, so in those circumstances it'll always be difficult to retain possession. Either the movement around the pitch wasn't there, which made it hard to push forward or we are lacking a real decent player who can hold possession well in the middle of the field and remain composure. Ever since we sold Alonso, we have finished outside the top 5. Coincidence? A player like that shouldn't be underestimated. Still think we need a Xabi Alonso.

      It's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks but Gerrard has done well to adapt to a more disciplined role. Henderson doesn't deserve the attacking midfielder role as he offers little on the ball. Would rather see Sterling left wing with Coutinho central..

      Gerrard is playing better in that role than Xabi did. We need someone in front of him to create and score

      Exactly! When Luis comes back, he will be able to play from the right (or the center with sturridge coming in off the right) and the one position we are particularly light in is LW/LF

      Prefer more of an inside left myself, preferably one confident in front of goal.

      Very true. We have a world class AM in Coutinho.

      Disagree. We need natural width that can cut inside. We have too many players that prefer a mid-role, but are parked on the wings.

      We need a winger, be it a RF or LF. Stevie is immense in his deeper role and Hendo is only getting better as a box-to-box midfielder
