Anyone going to this, was dissappointing turnout in our end on bank holiday Monday. A fiver on the door etc

Do you think he'd be tall enough to play there? Bit of googling suggests he's 5"11. You don't see many centre halfs under 6"2 I'd say these days. But look at someone like Cannavaro. If you've got good positioning, you're strong and aggressive in the air, then why not. Flanagan reminds me a bit of Steve Finnan, the kind of steady Eddie type. However the modern game seems to require very attacking full backs who want to bomb forward all the time. I wonder if Flanagan might end up as a centre half, either here or elsewhere.

Defender John Flanagan today signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool. The 18-year-old and his family were at Melwood to finalise the deal on Friday lunchtime. It comes after Flanagan impressed during seven first-team appearances at the end of 2010-11. Director of Football Damien Comolli believes the right-back has a bright future at Anfield. "The first thing everyone will say is he deserves it because he did so well for us towards the end of last season," he said. "Flanno had a long time left on his current deal but we felt it was the right thing to do, to reward him for what he's done. "His attitude is absolutely terrific. As you see him on the pitch - committed, dedicated, the intensity of his game - is what he's like off the pitch. He's very professional, he knows how to look after himself and who to listen to, and I think that's why he's improved so quickly. "He's only 18-years-old and he's still got so much room for improvement in every area of his game - but he's already very good going forward, technically he's very sound. I'm sure in two years' time we'll talk about him having made even bigger progress. "We're really looking forward to his development and seeing how he's going to do."

Can't wait for this, finally all the pissing around and jet setting is over. No more suffering watching the Degen's and Poulsen's turn out in a Liverpool shirt! Suarez is back in training, but I don't see him being involved from the start. Pepe Kelly Carra Agger Aurellio Henderson Lucas Adam Kuyt Carroll Downing They may not line up like that formation wise, but that's the starting XI I reckon. It's also great to know that we have a bench which could feature the likes of Suarez, Maxi, Cole, Meireles, Spearing, Aquilani, Shelvey, Skrtel and Johnson, not to mention a hopefully fully fit Steven Gerrard in a few weeks time. Finally a bit of strength in depth, and I reckon we'll see possibly another two in before the window is out.
