Reina

Kelly
Kyriakos/Wilson
Skrtel/Wilson
Aurelio

Kuyt
Shelvey
Poulsen

*Disclaimer
All of our CB's are carrying slight knocks. Roy wants to use Wilson and Soto but we'l have to see who passes the medical checks.
They did train for a bit today with Kelly in CB and Kuyt at Right-back .. just incase. Good job the game means nothing!

Hang on a minute. I got shot down for saying Nani was better than Valencia last season and now all except Frank are agreeing with me!

I don't remember you saying that but I'm sure I would have agreed!

Ah sorry I thought you meant better player, I think Valencia had a better season last year but I think Nani has always been a better player, just hasn't been used well and hasn't had the consistency until the last year.

BaZ87 · 15 Dec 2010 at 17:13

1 out of 10 for back tracking. I clearly said last season

edit: and the fact that Nani got more assists than Valencia last season surely rubbishes Frank's trump card.

Shamikebab · 15 Dec 2010 at 17:22

I thought you meant that you said last season that Nani was a better player, that I would have agreed with. However I don't agree that Nani was better last season...if that makes sense.

Kind of like if you asked me who was better this season Berbatov or Rooney...then asked me who was the better player.

Ditto.

Valencia is less frustrating to watch as his game is rather simplistic. That said, Nani isn't anywhere as bad he used to be.

Both are good players in my book. With Nani, however, you have the potential for a bit of magic.

So Nani was a better player last season but didn't have as good a season, last season? :confused:

Keep on digging

I thought Valencia had a much more effective season than Nani quite honestly. I mean he was pretty much the provider for a lot of Rooney's goals was he not? Or have I not remembered correctly?

Nani on the other hand looked dangerous in more games than he usually had done but had a dreadful season up until Xmas - in fact he was meant to be getting sold in January up until his form took off suddenly - And really, was pretty inconsistent bar a couple of months or so, for me.

Actually he didn't.

Whether he created more of Rooney's goals specifically or not, I don't know but Nani assisted more goals than Valencia did last season and he done it despite playing far fewer games.

Who's a better player Rooney or Berbatov? Berbatov has had a better season but Rooney is a better player.

Again, I clearly said last season.

And you're now coming out with some stuff about Nani being a better player last season but didn't have a better season

If you dig any deeper you'll end up in Perth just in time for the start of the Test match tonight

Not sure how that can be impossible tbh, I can barely think of any Nani assists last season whereas I can think of loads from Valencia :confused:

BaZ87 · 15 Dec 2010 at 18:32

I guess you mean possible

It's true though, although I believe it was only 1 assist more but in far fewer games.

If only that was the side. Looks like it's this:

-----------Jones
Kelly----Skrtel-Wilson----Aurelio
Cole--Poulsen-Shelvey--Jovanovic
------Eccleston-Babel

Although Eccleston could be playing out wide with Cole just behind Babel.

No Pacheco and talk of him being loaned out for playing experience. Here's an idea, why not loan out Hodgson so he can get some managerial experience :mad:

jakeke · 15 Dec 2010 at 18:46

From what I've seen of Pacheco he isn't ready for league football yet, I think games would pass him by and it'd do more harm than good. Loan is a great idea. Have to say though the way Liverpool fans talk about him he must be better than what I've seen
