Kelly was ace - he has to start.

Anyone pick up any knocks from that game? Otherwise same team...

Big time - Kelly had a decent game for his first ever PL game, should certainly keep his position for the Wigan game.

i really hope he does, lad deserves it.

I think we only have Joe Cole and Zorba the Greek in the treatment room.

Aurelio and Johnson both back in contention.

Is Aurelio back ? Thank god, hopefully he can stay fit for 5 mins

Aurelio will stub an earlobe during the warmup.

[Shaggy]

Hasn't Aurelio been in so-called 'contention' for ages? Hodgson keeps saying he's ready "if called upon", he's not injured blah blah blah, and is subsequently nowhere to be seen.

no way, Aurelio back in contention!!

[danperkins]

A fully fit Aurelio ahead of The Konch would be bliss. IMO if Fabio can't get a run of game soon yet again through injury we should offload in January, i fear Agger going same way.

Possibly the 2nd worst signing we've made - thinking back it just shows the desperation that must have been going on to have re-signed a player that spends more time on the treatment table than Barry UnKewell.

True but hell is likely to freeze over before we get a fully fit Aurelio.

See I don't think so. He's in a different league to PFK and if (possibly the biggest if I've ever used) he stays fit from now for the majority of the season, it'll be a good bit of business on a free and pay-as-you-play.

Obviously if he's hardly ever fit again then it'll have been a waste of time but not much money.

Yup he is officially made of of soggy biscuits, such a pity though because he has the potential to be a very good played when fit, always looked good when he got a string of games under his belt but has rotten luck and not doing LFC any favours.

I do know what you mean but the bloke is never fit, he's clearly a decent full back and certainly better than PFK but that is only of use if we can actually get him out onto the pitch.

The IF is of monumental size here isn't it !

Just shows though the problems we had in terms of bringing in players for this season.

He does, he's a decent player no doubt there at all but in terms of business in the summer it has turned out so far to be a shocking signing - if by the end of the season he's managed more than 15 games for us I'll change my tune but I can't see it happening.

I agree about his quality but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a pay as you play deal (I admit I might be wrong here though).

In my opinion given his transfer record it was a bad move to sign him up again. It would have looked like a more reasonable gamble if it the decision hadn't been compounded by the loaning out of Insua which continues to look like madness.

The whole set of three transfers looks like a combination of desperation and ****ty internal politics to me. I can still see why Roy wanted Bombscare in but we seemed to pay far too much and he has proved as bad as I thought rather than as in tune with Roys thinking as I had hoped.
