Our New Hero?!
After all the talk about how much he cost and the relative
wisdom of purchasing a player with a serious injury, its time for
Alberto Aquilani to let his feet do the talking and after this long
a wait he is no doubting raring to go.
A home game against Birmingham is as good a place as any to make
your Premier League debut and it’s the latest in a run of must win
games, that we seem to have hitherto failed to emerge victorious
(Man United being the notable exception).
The improvement of Lucas this season, and even his biggest
doubters would have to hold their hands up to the way the Brazilian
has progressed, and Javier Mascherano beginning to get his head to
together has left Rafa not being so easily able to throw Alberto in
at the deep end but I think it’s time he was given a proper spell
on the pitch.
The former Roma man has been discussed at length in numerous
bars and offices as Liverpool fans all considered just whether the
Italian international could make the grade and effectively replace
Xabi Alonso, even though to be fair he is a different sort of
midfielder to the Real Madrid man.
Let’s face it we have been very average of late and in fact on
occasion downright awful. Our late catastrophe at Lyon however was
just plain unlucky and we must try to build on the majority of that
performance where we tried to impose ourselves on the
opposition.
Aquilani is undoubtedly a good player and one that other Premier
League sides were eying up and after this long wait I am looking
forward to his being named in a starting eleven or at least getting
a good half hour against the Brum.
