Hi Eds,

Great Job as usual!

What's the score with Will Hughes of Derby County, I believe he has signed a new contact.

In the Jan transfer window there were lots of rumors of Liverpool interest and 1st option to buy deals etc.

Whats the current picture with his development and the likelihood a move to Liverpool or the premiership?

{Ed002's Note - I would think he will stay at Derby this season and then see where they stand next year (promotion, offers etc.). For now the chance of a move to Liverpool seems to be off.}

Question to Discuss Regarding comments made by BR about not grinding results out and swansea game being a perfect example of it.

Is there any difference winning a game 1-0 with a 70th minute goal?

Than winning a game 4-3 with the winner in the 70th minute having not being behind in the game?

Whether in be 0-0 or 3-3 up to that point, the game is still at the same point?

Obviously defence has been a concern and would be nice to see some clean sheets, but does it really matter?

Eds and Others

Where do you think the team realistically needs strengthening?



As good as Flanno has been, at 21 can we expect him to maintain his performances. Which leaves Glen Johnson who I think is out of contract in the summer? Do we expect him to stay or move on?

Center Halves: I do not see us needing players in this position and probably expect us to lose 1 or 2 players from this position.

Left Back, is an obvious weakness and needs to be looked at.

Midfield is a difficult one:
Obviously Gerrard is being molded into a quarter back type role. Where does this leave Lucas when fit and would we look to bring in a Lucas type player who could offer a little more going forward to give gerrard a rest.

Henderson: A cert on the teamsheet at the moment, but next would we look to upgrade especially if we have champions league positions?

Coutinho, again another young player, who has and will drop out of form and probably the only player of his type in the squad. Would we look to provide cover or a player to challenge for his position?

Sterling: Superb at the moment, but with Victor Moses failing to step up and our obvious interest in wingers in Jan. No doubt will we will be looking to strengthen in this area.

Forward Line ( providing Suarez stay)
Probably expect Aspas to move on and thoughts on Borini will we cash in and bring in another top striker?

I expect a huge amount depends on whether me make Champions league next year on how strong and deep our squad needs to be.

Regarding the penalty yesterday, yes it was soft but it was still a penalty.

When a defender makes a challenge like that, he is risking a penalty all day long.

A challenge from slightly behind across the attackers leg is bad defending technique, Wilson was panicked because of his bad pass which led to the chance.

Its the kind of tackle attackers get pulled up for all the time on full backs when they press them.

On our defence, I think we have to accept we will always conceede goals now, gone are they days of a rigid Rafa like formation.

Full backs are expected to push on, centre halves split, midfield runners. When attacks break down we have expect to the opposition to have a chance, but when we get it right we create lots of chances ourselves and for me the most part its worked.

I think our good is second only to City. I think most people would agree we would prefer 5-3 wins over a ground out 1-0.

Following on from the post about how to get more English players into the 1st teams.

How much influence to Liverpool and Everton have on the junior leagues? Or is it a case they only send scouts and pick up the best players?

We all go on about how English players lack the technical ability of our European counterparts.

I played football pretty much non stop from 10-26 years old through various junior teams and saturday teams, granted not at a very high level but how can we be expected to produce technically gifted players when the limiting factor is the quality of the pitches.

If you seen the state of most of the pitches, it impossible to play technically good football. A 10 yard pass along the ground could end up anywhere most are that bad.

This is where the likes of Liverpool, Everton and the FA need to be investing in well run clubs to give them facilities to produce technically good players eg good pitches.

I see BR was brought in Fowler, Mcmanaman and Rob Jones to work with the academy. Its good to see and brings back a little of the old boot room to the club.

But the real reason for my post, on another forum there is some real hatred towards Macca because of the way he left.

I have for have nothing but praise for the guy, he left when it was clear Liverpool where not going to win the league and became one of the best if not the best winger in the world and was a massive influence in Real Madrid winning the champions league. I think he was one the most medals as Englishman playing abroad.

So those old enough to remember him playing, what you thoughts on him?
