Alberto Aquilani

[keysaint]

just being able to control and pass in less than 6 touches is a bonus.

[Carra_is_legend]

So Aquilani is too lightweight and needs to adjust by not playing, yet we throw Maxi in for loads of full 90 minute games in the two months he's been here. Strange one that.

 

Shhhh!

 

How dare you trying to find sense out of Rafa's decisions!?!?

[ZonkoVille77]

He was probably our MOM after Mascherano.

 

Looked lively. I still think he is a bit of a fanny yet, he tries to do everything toooo quick.

 

Agree with all of this. I'd rather an attacking minded player in our side over the other muppets in there (I won't name for fear of being eaten) any day.

[Sandman]

Needs to play. Who cares if he can't tackle? Let Mascherano do that for him. He'd enjoy it too, the crazy fuck.

[Monster Masch]

There is without a doubt a player in Aquilani. It's just finding it and then a place in the team for him. A three man midfield, with Mascherano holding and then Gerrard and Aquilani supporting the main striker.

 

--------Mascherano--------

Gerrard-------------Aquilani

 

Surely he will start home to Portsmouth. If Gerrard gets suspended after his 'gesture' lastnight, he should play his role.

What gesture?

[Code]

What gesture?

 

Gerrard viste dommeren to fingre - sport - Dagbladet.no

[El Rojo]

What gesture?

 

Flicking a v sign and mouthing 'fuck off' at the ref after he was booked.

 

Hopefully his England standing will extend the immunity that Wayne Rooney enjoys for much worse.

[RedinSweden]

He just mean it as "game over"

[JohnnyH]

I remember seeing that at the time, and he did mouth 'fuck off' (As every player does when a free is given against them) but he just waved his hand away at him. I certainly don't remember seeing him flick the V's. And the ref is looking right at him so if he did he'd have been off. I'd like to see the video of it as I think someone has just taking an in-motion snap and looks like he is doing something he isn't.

 

Anyway, anyone who flicks the V's will cover the other two fingers with his thumb. You'd never do it as Gerrard is doing it. This is all bolox, and the video of it will prove it I reckon.

[Carradona]

Rooney does far worse, the little scrote.

Cheers, lads!

 

He might have said "Fuck off, it's the second time I've done something"?

 

Otherwise he is just too fucking thick. The last thing we need is him with a 3 match ban.

[Liverpool lad]

When Aquilani came on yesterday, he pissed all over Lucas as he could control the ball and move it quickly. It was refreshing to see. We have nothing to lose now, I would throw him in there as he looks like he can spread play a bit. One of the reasons we were so good with Alonso was that he moved the ball quickly, and that gives others move time to receive the ball.

[Monster Masch]

I heard this on Sky Sports this morning like, they said the FA were looking into it.

 

Would they look into it, if it was Diame or Emmerson Boyce? No.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

and miss the manc game.

 

We've won it without him and Torres before.

[Hooch]

He looked quite lively and did a few nice little touches/passes, but he still did fuck all in terms of penetrating Wigan in the final third.

We're really scraping the barrel if people think that was a positive to take from the game.

[Dougie Do'ins]

It often slips my mind also, that's not good.

I think it often slips Rafa's mind too.

[Iantn]

Alonso was one of the most consistent tacklers in the league and I'm staggered if you're calling Baraja bad!

 

Christ no mate, I was just saying he wasn't a defensive midfielder as he got forward and did the kinda things I sorta expect Aquilani to do next season.

 

He put in his fair share did Xabi but he still wasn't what I'd class as a defensive midfielder. Lucas currently is and Mascherano, Momo and Didi all have been/are.

in Rafa's system he was defensive

 

but you are right in saying that Xabi was much more than just a defensive mid

 

his range of passing alone was only really bettered by Gerrard's

 

which is why Gerrard should be paired with Masch as he brings something 'extra' to the position

 

Lucas offers nothing

[Iantn]

Xabi has a far better range of passing than Gerrard, for me.

 

On Xabi, I don't think it's Rafas system that had him play that role I think that's where you get the best from him. Give him the time and space to dicate the tempo and you're laughing.

i think we are in agreement mate :idea:

Haha, fuckin' 'ell. Scary times mate.
