Stewart Downing - West Hahahaham player

Downing will score the winner in the FA Cup Final.
I can't remember was it his free kick that Suarez missed the header from inside 6 yards? the one where it was harder to miss that score?

It was a good FK, but glancing headers like that are never really easy ever.

Ever

Well done to Downing today, excellent goal.

He's at the point now where he's showing enough to make you think "Hmmm, should we keep him in the side" but not enough where you're definitively picking him in your best XI.

Borderline stuff.

I'd pick him every time.

That really isnt the vote of confidence that i'm sure you consider it to be.

Luis Suarez believes luck has often been against new signing Stewart Downing this season - but that the England man has been a superb addition to the squad.

The winger scored his second goal of the campaign against Stoke on Sunday and might have had several more but for the woodwork.

Suarez thinks scoring the winner to take us into the FA Cup semi-finals will give Downing the confidence to hit top form between now and the end of the season.

The No.7 told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I think Stewart has been a bit unlucky this season, we know what a good player he is, he gets on well with the rest of his teammates and he's proved himself both with Aston Villa and the England team.

"He creates problems for defenders and he adds variety.

"It was a good time for him to get on the mark because it will boost his confidence greatly, and put an end to the unlucky streak he'd been having of finding the 'keeper or hitting the woodwork.

"We're all happy for him."

Go Stewie. I hope he pushes on and then makes new friends next season, just like at Villa

Stewart Downing insists Liverpool's new recruits should not be made scapegoats for the Reds' disappointing league form.

Liverpool take on Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup final as they look to claim their second trophy of the season.

But with Kenny Dalglish's side eighth in the Premier League, the likes of Downing, striker Andy Carroll, Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson have come in for criticism.

But Downing believes the team will start to gel and perform consistently as a team next season.

"Others might take it hard, but it doesn't bother me," Downing said. "It's easy to look at the table and think just because it's not gone well in the league that it's the new players' fault.

"But that happens at every club. There are more than four or five players in a squad and we have all not done it, not just the new ones. It's as a team. Sometimes the new ones haven't played and we have lost games. It's a building process, it takes time, it's not overnight.

"There are seven or eight new players in the team and that's quite a lot. You're expected to come in and set the world alight but sometimes it doesn't happen. But there are positives. We are building a good team. To win the Carling Cup in the first season and potentially the FA Cup as well would be a great start."

Downing admits that Saturday's trip to Wembley has added meaning for him after the former Middlesbrough star revealed he has never forgiven Roberto Di Matteo for his goal for Chelsea against Boro in the 1997 FA Cup final.

"We all still remember Di Matteo's goal so early, going in off the bar - I've hated him ever since!" Downing said.

"It was my first ever visit to Wembley. Boro were massive underdogs and I was a schoolboy at Boro at the time and we'd got tickets off the club, who took us and our families down on the coach. It was a good day out but with bad memories of the final. What did I call him at the time? Nothing I could really repeat."

I'd rather he kept it zipped and just concentrated on improving his game.
