at long last ('Mascherano is a Red II: The Son of the Beast)
So pleased that this one's finally settled at last!
I can see him being included in tomorrow's squad now, but I'm not so sure if he'll play a part - probably depends how the game goes I suppose and if there's a need.
Will be interesting to see how Rafa plays this with the midfield formation from now on, and as to whether there's room for Xabi, Stevie, Masch and Momo in one matchday squad/team.
Time will tell, but it's great to have such a talent available to us at last! It may take him time to bed in but I've seen enough from this guy in the past year or so on the telly to suggest that he's quality all over, and a fantastic addition to our squad no matter what went on at West Ham.
ok but why switch to 352 when 442 formation is doing well for us under Rafa ?
It's not about this or that, it's about who Rafa sees as being the 2 in front of the back line, and how Rafa likes to play things, 2 holding m'f was his preferred option previously, and again with us when Xabi & Momo are fit, it's now who he sees as the man for the job and whether masher is fit & ready & up for it?

'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.
