Can Liverpool Youngster David Ngog Ever Really Become a First Team Regular?

yes he can expect him to be on the tem for match against hull and other lesser ability teams / when torres is injured

Scores goals every chance he gets but will never be a good finisher? The lads 20 and just banged in a quality finish to get us through to the next round of the cup give him a chance to develop properly b4 sending him back to the french leagues nemeth is better but a different sort of player one who could play alongside torres rafa is looking for somebody who can come into a 4-5-1 when torres is injured obv he doesn’t fancy babel the other candidate who i think would be ideal in that role so ngog looks like he is being groomed for that it would suit him and the more first team sub apps he gets the better just in case we do lose torres at some point in the season

i think he is our second best striker, but could he realy lead us to the title if torres got injured? i wish rafa would give him a place alongside torres did we need to play with a loan striker last night? if he has the quality needed then play him in for 10 consecutive matches. he would learn. he does not have to start, he can come on to give fernando a rest or once we have got a grip on the game he can show us what he can do.

Let me guess this straight, the young lad performs a world-class finish with his turn and strike, basically bailing us out of a game we probably didn’t deserve to win and a day later ’so called’ liverpool fc supporters come online and start slagging him off?

Will still dispute the fact that cos he went into the first team squad straight away he is better than nemeth who spent all last season injured and has been loaned out basically because he is already in line for a world cup place with hungary aged 21 wants to go and needs to be playing every week athens manager said that rafa obv expected gr8 things from him that takes nothing away from the earlier comments about ngog just think we have some awesome talent coming through would prefer there 2 be more of them given chance in the carling cup and would prefer 4-4-2 as well

Voronin is shit should have snatched the 5 million outta hertha’s hands

Retryboy - September 24th, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Only insua has made it and that was only due to injuries to aurelio and dossena who rafa didn’t need to buy was proven that insua was good enough when he got his chance think same goes for degen no need to buy him know he played well the other night but we have johnson and darby thats why i like the new ruling its gonna force rafa to trust the youngsters more

Hoogleboogybugleboy - September 24th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

It’s all very well saying that Rafa has to trust the youngsters more but football is so competative now that if you lose more than 3 on the trot you face the sack as a manager. This is why managers, wenger aside tend to value experience over youth in my opinion. I agree that Dossena was a waste of money and that Insua has proven himself as more than a capable understudy to Aurelio but what if Rafa had decided to promote Spearing and not buy Aquilani as Alonso’s relacement. Does anyone think that would be better. The way I see it is if you are good enough you are old enough and it is not Rafa’s fault that not many youngsters are good enough to step up.

Fact is that the average age of our first team is 26 the average age of the team the other night 26 do you not see a problem there? Sure arsenals and uniteds would be a lot lower. Course you still have to buy quality to replace alonso spearing is nowhere near his level as i have said to all the ppl who straight away thought he can walk into the team and replace mascherano best cdm in the world these players can come in when they are injured surrounded by our seasoned internationals i have faith in their quality think darby is better than degen on merit and nemeth better than voronin on merit why wasn’t ayala or kelly in at cb instead of a 30 year old and 31 year old combo i mean carragher has looked in need of a rest all season i still stand by the point that if they are good enough to win the youth cups and reserve league they are better than uniteds and arsenals youngsters who do break through

Hoogleboogybugleboy - September 24th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

I agree retyboy but to be fair, Kyriagos had a good game. Ayala has looked dodgy. I agree about Carragher looking out of sorts and maybe needing a rest but can you imagine if Rafa had gone with Kyriagos and Ayala with Degan and Dossena?

Retryboy - September 24th, 2009 at 3:51 pm

Kyrgiakos did look good and so did degen but so have ayala and darby given the chance and next year rafa is going to have to trim the squad by about 6 over 21’s at least. the cup needs to be used to bring on youngsters only young players on show were ngog, spearing and babel so agree with some points but still think the new rules will be gr8 for us

RaNE - September 24th, 2009 at 8:51 pm

i think our sortof back up squad is hugely underated

everyone rates voronin as garbage and makes him look like some guy from butlins but he does have brilliant back up skills which he can show at high level like hertha for example

as for ngog brilliant young player love to see him playing this or next season
Now for nemeth he is good but isnt getting play time I would hate to see him slip threw and leave but im worried thats whats it going to come to

defense wise is ok krygiakos is an ok cover he is defensivly strong and looks like hes about to fight someone but never the less he is a great sub.

AND DONT MOCK degen he is good look at him against leeds moves foward alot good cover for johnson when ever degen is actually fit but i think he isnt now? after leeds

Hoogleboogybugleboy - September 25th, 2009 at 10:19 am

I’m not mocking Degan. His performance against Leeds was his best by far for the club. I was saying that had Carra not been in the team the defense would have had no leader and would have struggled.

Retryboy - September 25th, 2009 at 11:31 am

Not mocking degen either just think we have 2 younger, better, english right backs

Donavan Ried - September 26th, 2009 at 12:35 am

He can if he steps up and proves himself …….. But i think not

Retryboy - September 26th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

If we don’t make hard work of hull 2day and get a few up by half time would like to see him come on for torres last half hour
