Welcome to LFC Charlie Adam

Nope, because if I'm the manager right now, I find it very difficult to leave Lucas out of the team as well.

You're only one step away from categorically admitting that you were wrong about how good he is

To be fair, he's passing the ball better than last season. It could be because the movement in front of him is better, but it's my impression that he's much more comfortable and confident moving the ball.

I have no problem changing my tune if a player consistently disproves my opinion of him.

To be fair, he was excellent last season too

Any player would also look better with better players around him.

Personally I'd never want to see Adam and Gerrard as a central two, unless Gerrard has all of a sudden learned how to sit, track, and play the simply passes.

I would, but only in games like Swansea and Norwich at home.

Gerrard has the ability to play a Lucas type role but he'd never stick to it.

It's easier to see the good a player does when others make it count for more.

Charlie Adam is a doubt for Liverpool's trip to Stoke after suffering an injury on Scotland duty.

The 25-year-old netted his first goal for the club during their 3-1 win over Bolton but could be set for an early lay-off for his new employers just two months after arriving from Blackpool.

Adam was was withdrawn after just ten minutes of his country's 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in their Euro 2012 qualifying match on Saturday with a suspected hip injury.

Ahead of their game with Lithuania, Craig Levein's side have also been hit by the loss of Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith who has failed to shake a back problem.

But while Adam could be sidelined for the Reds' visit to the Britannia Stadium, they have been boosted by England's decision to allow Jordan Henderson to return to the club.

The midfielder was allowed to rejoin the ranks at Anfield by Stuart Pearce after he captained the side to a 6-0 win over Azerbaijan in their Euro Under-21 Championships qualifier.

Henderson, 21, will miss tomorrow night's friendly with tournament hosts Israel as he prepares for the trip to the Potters this weekend.
