Thanjk you.
Paul.S
He has the ability, we all seen that last season, just a matter if he can get his head right soon. I'm ambivalent about wether he should stay or not.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

To be honest out defence has been shocking this season and lots of changes, it wouldnt be far off to suggest it would cause some confusion
Very true.
there seems to be a confusion as to who is in charge at the back.

Shay Given is one of the best keepers in the premiership & he's only about 5'11".
I think Reina's form has improved in the last 5 or 6 matches & I think you're being overly harsh on him blaming him for the first goal. Each of the 3 goals, in my opinion, was the defense' fault (not the goalkeeper).
that's why i said he was PARTLY at fault
to be fair the 2 other goals were not his fault, the defence just fell apart
His comments sound like a player that's about to leave IMHO.Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has said he is flattered by Valencia's interest in him, although for the time being he is focused only on performing for Liverpool.
"The interest shown by Valencia is flattering to me," he told Spanish daily As. "However, at this moment I want to be focused on helping Liverpool return to our best form."
The goalkeeper, who played for Villarreal for three years before joining Rafael Benitez's team, has come in for criticism this season, most notably for the clanger he dropped against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
He is said to be homesick, and did not rule out the possibility of a move at a later date.
those comments could quite easily have been taken out of context though
Definitely.
It's amazing how transfer stories always come out in international weeks isn't it? No way would Reina be forced to answer questions like that when he's playing at club level but it's as if someone has leaked the story to the press at the right time on order to give it some legs.
Hopefully he'll stay but if the lad's homesick then there's not much we can do. It was only at the start of the season he was saying that he was eager to show he was an even better keeper than he showed last season and the second season was always important to show your consistency. He also said that he was happy at Liverpool and couldn't envisage leaving.
