Dani Pacheco

[RedReet]

I really expected Dani to get much more playing time this season and it will never happen under Hodger.

Tomorrow would be a perfect opportunity for him to start and get valuable experience and as it stands if he is on the bench that would be a bonus... Real shame..

Like Babel, he seems to be taking the brunt of the blame for losing against formidable Northampton.

For Babel I can understand as he was given an ample number of opportunities and ****ed up pretty much all of them but not for Dani. He is only 19 and it is normal for him to be inconsistent and have a bad game but I guess I expect too much from Roy and his managerial skills...

He doesn't know the team yet. He should be doing all in his power to build every players confidence, not hang them out to dry because he ****ed up.

He's been here long enough to have a good idea about his squad but the fact is he is a mediocre manager that cannot recognise a true talent even when he is looking at one.

Our only hope is that old fool is sacked before he does any permanent damage.

John McMahon has revealed Roy Hodgson's first-team plan for starlet Dani Pacheco.

The Spanish ace is regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in Europe after rising to prominence in a withdrawn striking role.

However, this season he has been deployed more regularly on the right-side of midfield, a switch that McMahon feels can boost the No.12's claims for more first-team involvement.

"The boss (Roy Hodgson) is keen on him," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"He sees Dani filling those wide roles, so when he plays for the reserves he occupies those positions and learns to adapt and play in them.

"It's good for his development to learn several roles and it will only benefit him, especially if he's required to do a job for the first-team."

That's hardly a plan for Pacheco is it?? when Rafa used him it was wide.
Pacheco is a really bright talent, no-one truely knows if he'll properly break through but I think it's fair to say he would have a better chance under a different manager.

Dani on the right of a four doesn't strike me as something he'd be good at. Right in a 2-3-1 formation then maybe.

i'd like to see him right of a front 3 - a la chelsea. cole to the left.

[RichC]

Should be playing in a 3 with Nando and Maxi at the moment, players we have would suit this formation well.

Reina

Carra Skrtel The Greek Konk (nobody else available!)

........................Lucas

...........Gerrard............Meireles

.......Maxi............................Dani

......................Nando

[Kenneth]

When Kuyt is back, right side of an attacking 3 is probably his best position.

[RedReet]

In games like last Sunday when Gerrard isn't finding the space and not getting much service, I wouldn't mind seeing him play just off Torres. I think they'd work well together.

Would be kick in the balls to N'Gog though, who did make a big difference when he came on.

[Jaymo]

I dont know how true this is, but i heard somewhere he gets sent home every couple of weeks, i can't remember the reason for it.. but surely if its true it explains why hes in the squad then drops off the radar

He goes back to Spain a lot with the national age group training camps so that might be it

[anfieldanfield]

He's not good enough. Sell.

[Mostar]

How would you know.. He never plays

[DannyMan2006]

See ya Dani. Pretty clear he's not in Roys plans.
