Leto gets clearance

[Alpha]

From that video he doesn't look like anything special.

Maybe he'll turn out alright for us, or he could just be another Paletta.

I don't think Paletta deserves to be written off just yet.

I don't think Paletta deserves to be written off just yet.

He tackles like his life depends on it, is a dirty ****er without giving too many fouls away, and is physically well built.

All he needs to work on is his positional play, which im sure the coaching staff are doing on a regular basis.

Unfortunately a lot of people are judging him on a couple of games where he was a bag of nerves due to the fact the keeper behind him was letting the ball fly in the net EVERY time someone got past paletta.

Ive said a few times that I reckon this lad is going to have a big future here at Liverpool.

Not every player is a freak like Agger and just slots in seamlessly.

Blood him now and hopefully we won`t need to sign a left winger.

I reckon he`ll play him as much as he can now in the last couple of games to see how he copes. Will be very surprised if he doesnt start on friday

I do. He's 21 and if he hasn't managed to pick up even the basics of defending by now, he never will.

He is complete ****e.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I think you are complete ****e.

Out of interest, is there a single player in the liverpool squad that you HAVE got any time for?

Either you are a bluenose, a manc, or a complete and utter bellend. I suspect options 2 AND 3.

Haha.

My criticism of players on here is usually a direct response to the absurd optimism/inability to objectively judge our players by some posters.

For the record, I think we have three fine centre backs at the club. I also think that Paletta is a terrible player and will never get close to their level. Anyone disagree?

I think your a WUM but agree that Paletta has had time to prove himself and failed.

I have to say it is interesting the strength of reaction is to your criticism is. However I really think that we haven't seen enough of Paulleta to form a judgement. I actually think his positioning isn't as bad as some make out, however he has looked nervous and non-committal in terms of his movements. Partly this is a function of age but I think it has been unfortunate that he has played with the Dudek/Hyypia combination in general. The trouble being that Dudek has poor command of his defence and Hyypia is not that vocal or mobile which puts added pressure on Pauletta.

It is clear that at the very least he needs games at a lower level.

I believe though that Coops has seen a bit of him for the reserves and thinks he has shown promise. I'm willing to give both the benefit of the doubt.

I would have liked to have seen Pauletta and Hobbs loaned out, partly selfishly as I want to see them play but mostly as I feel they need to be tested at a competitively level.

Rafa seems to, as he has not sent him away.

IMO the only way is up for Paletta. He has looked very poor but also recently he has looked decent. I think Rafa is right in giving him more time.

[El Jefecito]

Is the lad ready for the first team?

Vickery, the BBC guy who usually makes pretty good calls, said he could go either way. I've got my fingers crossed. He seems more like riise than for example Quaresma, but if he can make the right runs he may be more effective.

Paletta would be twice the player he has been if he was alongside Carra. Pretty much all the times he's played it's been w/Sami. Sami is not half the organizer that Carra is.

Even given the crap peformances, I still think Paletta will make it. His performances in the reserves have been unimpeachable.

[Parm]

cheers, hope he could do a job in the middle too in case all 27 of our central midfielders gets hurt

so true!
