THE CHOSEN ONE

drop Kuyt? drop Kuyt?

He is the most underatted player in that team. And thats a fact!!!

Well if it comes to dropping Lucas for Kuyt to play, especially in the big games, i&#039;d prefer that but my point is when it comes to Kuyt or Benayoun, i&#039;d pick the Isreali 10 times out of 10.</description>

		<description>Absolutely mental lucas and mascherano are light years apart when people were talking about selling him before i used the simple test. Would gerrard like trying to get past mascherano in a Barcelona shirt? No way! Would he fancy his chances running at lucas in the same situation? Every time would destroy him! Mascherano is the best at what he does in the world and along with reina, gerrard and torres one of four world class players we have and you lot think off the back of a couple of average performances where he has managed to get through the game without messing anything up majorly lucas is in the same league? Just crazy!</description>

		<description>THE CHOSEN ONE
As much as I love this guy Mascherano . Since we dont have money. If  I was rafa id sell him if the offer was 40 mil and we are out of the league by january. Lucas can grow into that role. Id use the money to buy an ace striker who is world class and 24 or 25 years old. Exchange babel in the deal. And in the summer use the 20 mil funds plus what I get for voronin deggam and dessena
to buy a 26 mil left sided midfield player of quality.

Time for our youths to step up if the senior players get injured . We`d win the title if the right people were bought and we`d still have a very competive squad.

Kuyte could play striker or on the right. 
Benyoum could play right or supporting striker
Riera could challenge left 
The Roman could also anchor as well as plessis
Wed be sorted and gerrard could  always go back to middle and make things happen.

My opion , call me mad but its a way forward for 40 mil.</description>

		<description>THE CHOSEN ONE 

This is a public apology to insua who I thought couldnt improve on his shooting. More of that mate and more dangerous crosses and you`ll be there.

BUT YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.

drop Kuyt?  drop Kuyt?

He is the most underatted player in that team. And thats a fact!!!

I keep on saying that the team weve had out all season was good enough to all all their games bar chelski match . While everyone screamed about Alonso leaving and how crap Lucas was.

I didn`t hear it when we beat Man utd . This proves my point. What let us down was mainly defensive errors and at times tactical attacking errors with  bad luck.

FULL STOP!!</description>

&#039;I believe that our line behind Torres should consist of Benayoun, Aqualani and Gerrard; they should be given the freedom to move around behind him how ever they like like Arsenal.&#039;

That sounds like a really quality lineup. I&#039;ve not seen much of Aquilani but he looked really good in the 15 minutes against Arsenal. Would love to see this team as Lucas would have to play a more defensive role which is what i think he is best at and going on the past few perfomances he should be able to hold his own. 

But we all know Rafa&#039;s love of Kuyt and i&#039;m afraid this is to the detriment of Benayoun because it will probably be Gerrard Kuyt and Aquilani with Benayoun on the subs bench. Kuyt&#039;s hard work is his best asset but he is profligate in the last third and Benayoun&#039;s quality makes the difference so it is unfortunate to see him treated the way he is despite his undeniable talent and guile.

Nontheless, it may well be Lucas that is dropped seing as the other players mentioned are more senior and dependable [hopefully Aquilani is]. So full strength we&#039;d probably look like this:

Reina

Johnson Carragher Agger Aurelio

 Aquilani Mascherano  

Kuyt Gerrard Benayoun

Torres

I&#039;ve never been a fan of Lucas but it seems i&#039;d prefer anonymous&#039;s team and drop Kuyt as i think the team would play at a faster pace and be more creative with the team like this:

Reina 

Johnson Carragher Agger Aurelio

Mascherano Lucas

Aquilani Gerrard Benayoun

Torres 

Well, we can only wait and see if Rafa wants to play the quaterback style with Aquilani replacing Alonso or a more fluid attacking style with interchanging positions and mazy runs from the attacking midfielders.</description>

		<description>He has had 3 good games in over a season now its fashionable to stick up for him. He has proved he can be a back up to mascherano not a guaranteed starter by any means.</description>

		<description>Where is Lucas&#039; recognition for doing so well this season. are we going to throw away all the progress he has made. I know some still dont rate him that highly but i believe there is something there. I believe that our line behind Torres should consist of Benayoun, Aqualani and Gerrard; they should be given the freedom to move around behind him how ever they like like Arsenal. The only problem would be when defending. Behind them Lucas and Mashcarano</description>
