Barry Sanchez

I tend to see beyond an accent and see what the man is saying, I dont always agree with Carragher but he does know his football.

Bunch of soft Southern rent boys.

I hope we have bought Osvaldo on his merits alone and not to try and get the best out of Ramirez? Thats guesswork and reckless at best.

You may think that, I dont think he is a Manchester United player by a long way, he is not international class either, an athlete not a footballer.

I think as it stands you cant afford to leave either of them out, play the two dovetailing each other with Lallana and Rodriguez going across each other and crossing the balls in, Puncheon is another option for Lallana.

From what I have seen of him is that he seems to be a target man who is strong and powerful, can use both feet and is good in the air, I didn't associate him with pace or an instant turn of pace.

Ron quite a few on here have done the same thing, I dont think I am alone.

Is Osvaldo a mobile striker?

You would hope so but you can say that for the rest of the whole team.

Man of the match is wholly subjective and not really worth a bean, Baines played the best for us in my opinion.

You simply cant appear to be wrong and state he has been awful since his arrival and has done nothing to justify the transfer fee, I would not mind so much if he tried, he appears to at the very least half arsed. Either he is substituted for being below par consistantly or a lack of fitness, you can choose, it cant be tactical all the time.

You think he played well for England?

Hope without anything to back it up is simply hope.

Put in a shift. Look vaguely interested. Look fit. Last a game. Last a game based upon performance. Pass the ball and use it far more wisely. Cross a ball better. Take a corner better.

What has Ramirez done for his £12 Million tag? He was just as crap on Saturday as he was last season.

It was in the Times yesterday concerning all the team in the Premiership, it simply stated every considered weak link in the Leagues sides, Lee Cattermole for Sunderland and Danny Wellbeck for United etc etc.

The Times has stated it believes him to be the weakest link in the side, most know on here know what I think of this player, do you believe he is destined to be placed on the sidelines or sold? If not where will he fit in and where will Osvaldo and Lambert play?

No they got to it via luck, good draws and players like Gerrard and Alonso being in the team.

A utility full back is needed more but only slightly.

But that was done of the back of signing the cream of the World best players, this season it has not happened.

The French, Italians,Spanish,Russians and Germans have all got or retained the best of the beat this year, this is the first season marque signings have not happened, other teams simply have more money now, Monaco, PSG or there are other clubs seen as a better lifestyle choice, Munich, Barcelona etc.

Cheslea Man City Man Utd Everton (with Baines and Fellani) possibilty without Arsenal Liverpool Spurs Possibles Swansea Sunderland (if they click) We're ok and doing alright but for Europe we need strength in depth, no doubt about it.

Good article and also quite worrying, I think there is some merit in this http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/sport/football/Premiership/article1301549.ece

Ramirez will hopefully sold now for whatever we can get for him.
