Turned the game around against NI and was MOTM against Ukraine tonight. Totally dominated midfield, cutting out attacks, running directly at their central midfield, and setting up attacks with clever passing.
Is he up there with Rambo now? Liverpool's rotation policy doesn't help his cause so perhaps he should seek a move in the summer and get some regular football under his belt.
Dunno when he became capable of domimating a game, but he's done it the last two games rather easily. Head and shoulders the best player in both games. We could have something special with him and rambo in midfield.
Unfortunately, Ledley seems to be moving in the other direction as he looks slower in both thought and deed.Quote:

I've got to say, i was impressed with Ledley in both belgium games in the qualifiers, and also in the bosnia home game. Would love to see more of that in france. ATM I would rather start huws, think he has more ball playing ability, which is important in our team.Quote:

Waaay too early to be talking about players offering less than they used to. I was also disappointed by Joe's performance against Northern Ireland but you can bet on him raising his levels back to qualification best for Slovakia.
Joe Allen has been superb in the last two friendlies and I am so glad he's still fairly young.
I love your positive attitude - lets give Joe a chance to return to his best form!Quote:

I follow a decent Liverpool fan on twitter who thought Allen would be out the door when Klopp arrived,but it seems he has worked extra hard to take on board everything Klopp is trying to instill into his side.
Hes noticed a marked improvement in his attitude,work rate and confidence.
Long may it continue.
Ha ha - fecking brilliant!Quote:

HRK can also play a part as his energy and running will stretch teams.Quote:

We are still totally dependant on Bale and Ramsey to create anything.
The back 4 are fairly solid and protected well by the likes of Allen with his ability to keep the ball, but out wide and up front there's no spark, little skill and hardly any pace .
Bale and Ramsey are so important in providing this.
Johnny Williams also surely had to play, but will Coleman be too negative to include the likes of Williams and Huws in the big games and stick with his tried and tested to hope to bore the opposition to death and snatch something from the brilliance of Bale or Ramsey ?
We've had Warren Ball now we're having Coleman Ball! :biggrin:Quote:
