Fabio Aurelio is ordinary

[Sarb]

I would not class aurelio as a world class player but I would label him a very good player.The only problem I have with him is that he cant be relied on through the season due to his injuries, anyone who labels him **** based on his football ability doesnt know about football imo.

He is good deinsively, good technique, good on the ball and good at getting forward.I like pass and move football and aurelio is one of our best players for keeping possesion and can also put in i a good cross.

I am happy with fabio at lb and think our rb and rm spots need to be looked at before we replace aurelio although I feel dossena is not up to it.

Got to give Dossena a season to settle in. Aurelio is solid, got no complaints with him at left-back to be honest.

[Neil Young]

No, he had one injury, in the spring before he joined us.

He got an injury in his spring? That can be nasty.

I hope he bounces back.

Yes, you never had a spring injury?

[Neil Young]

Yes, you never had a spring injury?

Yes, when I had a bad fall.





Sorry for the Americanism.

All I want to complain about is that he seems to have taken endless free kicks, but never scored from one. Why the **** does he take them?

There's little wrong with aurelio, he's fairly solid, has some very good games, some less good games and as someone else said, he contributes to the team.

Aurelio's a good player and he was a free transfer, excellent piece of business.

First of all - Aurelio wasn't a free transfer. He had signed for a Urugayan team, when LFC came knocking his door. We had to pay £4m. to get him!!!

THE FINAL PIECE TO AN AGE OLD PUZZLE
Striker can complete the jigsaw

England’s national jigsaw championships took place in Surrey just a few weeks ago, fortunately, Liverpool weren’t’ represented. As anyone who’s followed the club for the last 16 years will tell you, the club struggles so often assembling “the last piece” they’re still in the process of completing a puzzle they started in 1990. By the end of the week Rafa Benitez should be unveiling the latest missing segment. When Dirk Kuyt arrives, which thankfully looks increasingly inevitable, major business will be concluded for another summer and the first serious assessments of the new Liverpool can proceed. Benitez has argued with some justification he doesn’t possess the financial might of Chelsea, but other than Jose Mourinho, nobody does. Relatively speaking the purchase of Kuyt for £10m will demonstrate once more that although the Reds desperately need more capital, any accusations they fail to back their managers in the transfer market are grossly unfair.

Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, Roy Evans and Gerard Houllier all broke the club’s transfer record, in some cases more than once. Benitez hasn’t yet eclipsed the £14m wasted on Djibril Cisse on one player, but after the latest round of spending no-one will be able to take future hints of poverty seriously. Proving Kuyt arrives, and that’s the key here, Liverpool will have signed six players for a combined cost well in excess of £25m. That’s a ball park figure because some of the fees remain undisclosed. It’s emerged Fabio Aurelio, for example, wasn’t a free transfer from Valencia after all. The Brazilian signed a pre-contract with a Uruguayan club last January, so Liverpool had to pay the South Americans to bring him in. it can also be argued a portion of the fees can be accounted for through player sales. But in the closed season, only Fernando Morientes’ departure brought any reasonable return. When any investment in the squad is compared to Chelsea, clearly Liverpool look like poorer cousins. You can take a figure of £25 m and bend it to suit whatever argument you feel like depending on whether Liverpool have won or lost their last match. Compared to the rest of the Premiership (aside from Chelsea, the ludicrous Newcastle who spend money that’s not their own and Portsmouth and their “mystery” backers) the Red are hardly misers. And if the vast investment in transfers since 1990 proves anything, it’s not how much you spend that matters most, it’s what you spend it on.

Then - HE was fault in not getting back, when AM made the fast move and scored.

HE was in many situations the one who managed to put in a good cross from the left - and they were there to head on as they were in the rigth distance from goal and at the rigth heigth.
HIS corners made it possible to keep Steven G. in the middle to pick up a shot in a Lampard-way, which would be a very good tactic to develop further.

[yukpo]

Left foot: ordinary
tackling: ordinary
defending: ordinary
attacking: ordinary (being generous here)
Free kicks: ordinary

He is ordinary. This isn't enough.

ordinary is still better than dossena

Sorry for the Americanism.

These kind of injuries are common in a seasoned campaigner like yourself Neil.

Not in my opinion he wasnt....granted he wasnt in the left back position but he had surged forward in support of a promising attack and CLEARLY Riera should have been covering for him but was caught in no-man's land leading to Agger getting drawn out of the middle, leaving us short there......also Mascher was ball watching and should have tracked the runner Maxi.

[captainfog]

What a joke of a thread.

Aurelio is a decent footballer and much better than that ****house Dossena. If he doesn't improve soon then I think Rafa will ship him out at the end of the season. The future for leftback is Insua.

That's bull****. "A Uruguayan club" not even a name? Why would he join that team because after hew was frozen out at Valencia he had offers on the table from Barcelona, Madrid and later Villarreal. He chose to link up with his old manager instead, I really do not think that he'd have chosen any South American club over the 4 (atleast) more desirable and lucrative deals he had going for him in Europe.

Aurelio was very good today!

Not fat at all

You're right, he isn't fat. His legs are made of Twiglets, that's why he keeps breaking.
