How did he do last night? I missed the match as I was working late and haven't read much on his performance as everyone has been doing a sex wee over Torres. What did he show? Is he likely to play in the league any time soon?

Opinion seems to be divided on his performance.
I thought he was completely anonymous in the second half. He did OK in the first half, certainly nowt to write home about.Originally posted by Gordon Brown

He was good. Just needs to adjust to the tempo of the EPL. Think given 6 mos, he'll be up to the level he was @ in Brazil.Originally posted by memzey View PostHow did he do last night?

I hope so, because I think if he is not played enough he will be off, and who could blame him, same can be said of Leto. Both were playing regular first team football to a high standard before they came, they have already played in big games in South America. The League Cup wont do that much for their appetite for first team football IMO.Originally posted by SpeedyG View PostHe was good. Just needs to adjust to the tempo of the EPL.

I have a feeling that Rafa will use him in Kuyts position to do the same work Kaka do for Milan.Just believe and you never know what will happen.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

Levia is a very different to Kaka though, personally, I can't see Levia ever playing in the hole regularly, he is not that type of player, he has a long way to go before he does a Stevie G and adapts into a world class attacking midfielder.Originally posted by AFII View PostI have a feeling that Rafa will use him in Kuyts position to do the same work Kaka do for Milan.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

If you look at our team then the hole behind the striker is one of our "problem" positions. We don't have a skillful enough player to play there. The central midfield positions are already taken by Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso and Sissoko.Originally posted by bazza76 View PostLevia is a very different to Kaka though, personally, I can't see Levia ever playing in the hole regularly, he is not that type of player, he has a long way to go before he does a Stevie G and adapts into a world class attacking midfielder.
Playing in the hole is the only place that he can get some games and he will be better than the players we have playing there now IMO.
He scored a lot of goals being a midfielder in Brazil so he can do a job in that position.Just believe and you never know what will happen.

Any player can do a job though, and personally, I dont see what playing him as a second striker is going to achieve, he is not good enough or familiar enough in that roe for a start, and it would cause unrest amongst the squad if he was to be played there, imagine dropping, Crouch, voronin or Kuyt to play him there instead. they would start going mad.Originally posted by AFII View PostIf you look at our team then the hole behind the striker is one of our "problem" positions.

Just my opinion, but I cant see Levia playing there even once this season.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
