Lucas Leiva - I don't know about you, but for me, he still lacks the rhythm of the Premier league: he's still a little bit behind everyone else when it comes down to keeping up with the pace of the football played in England. Nevertheless, he is a talented and intelligent player, so he could learn to use the skills he does possess to make up for any shortcomings in his game. However, I feel that he is still going to be behind the first choice midfield options at Anfield - he's not on the same level as Mascherano, Xabi or Gerrard.

I know that Lucas gets a lot of criticism from Liverpool fans who tend to focus upon the balls that he frequently gives away, but bear in mind that he recovers an awful lot as well. I think he's a squad player and he does improve the quality of the Liverpool squad which, in my opinion, has got to be considered as one of the best groups in the Premiership.


Emiliano Insua - I had thought that, by now, the left back would be a regular part of the first team, but from what I have seen of him - when he has been given an opportunity - he appears to be a level, or two below someone like Fabio Aurelio. So, its going to take another year, at least, before he can really start to push for a first team place, but that is always going to difficult with Aurelio in front of him. Speaking of Fabio, now that he has been injury free for a while, we are starting to see the real player: a player with all the defensive qualities that appeals to Rafa Benitez and a fantastic left foot that is very useful at crosses and set pieces.


Nemeth - He is probably the brightest light in the reserve team, at the moment, alongside Daniel Pacheco. A concern over Pacheco is that he may be a little too small for a premiership player, he'll be given his chance I'm sure, but I think we may see him finish up in Spain as the English game may be just too physical for him. However, Nemeth, I believe, has a future here, not as a replacement for Keane or Torres, but as someone who could maybe feature in ten games or so to give Rafa some different options and to give the player some first team playing experience. That time on the pitch will prepare him for greater involvement next season I hope.


El Zahr - He's been the real surprise promotion in to the first team as you would have thought that Pacheco and Nemeth are maybe ahead of him. But he has something a little different to the others: something that reminds me of Luis Garcia. He has pace and he's prepared to try things, which is always good to have as an option on the bench and he could do very well in the role of super-sub. I get the impression, from watching him play, that he is relishing every opportunity he gets to impress and if he can get a couple of first team goals, then I believe that the confidence boost will really spur him on and he will continue to progress. I don't think he's close to becoming a regular, but another fantastic option from the bench: something that Liverpool will need if they end the season competing for the top prize in several competitions

We have somke great talent there to come through but we should also be wary that we have had great talent coming through for years and we are still to see an outstanding youngster since the likes of Gerrard Carra and Owen

Ive seen a fair few reserve games with Nemeth and I hope he gets a go in the Carling cup, very exciting player and a bloody good finisher.

Nemeth is a class player who I hope gets a break in the first team. However I also saw Paul Anderson who again was top drawer and now I think he is out on loan. My opinion would be get them playing A.S.A.P to encourage them to stay with us!

Were definitely fortunate there are a few good guys with the reserves and getting the odd chance, on top of this we have a couple out on loan.

The bunch of the crop has to be El Zhar, Nemeth and Pacheo. really like El zahr during pre season and he made a difference on Sat.

:D:D

Unfortunately Fat Ron is on the panel tonight, so he wont be there tomorrow, I am guessing Aymon, Fence-Sitter and Sour-Ness will be on tomorrow with that guy who knows even less about football than he does about Moto GP, Peter Collins.

Theme of the Evening: Spanish football not being the strongest {Seville were legend last year, another one of Aymons "hot tips":rolleyes:} and how a win over Atleti means shag all, and of course, our lucky league comebacks...." will be found out this Sunday against Chelsea, Peter...no doubt"

Well Aymo, I am glad it has taken 8 games to get found out, away, at Chelsea:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
