My dream team is coming together. The team name is "SHUT UP!"

So far, my strikers are Rush and Aldridge. More league winning ex-players to join soon (secretly hoping for John Barnes next to fill that problem left area).

I heard that Barnes guy was a decent player?

Unfortunately Barnesie is far too sensible to talk ****.

Barnes' wife went into labour on Sunday apparently but he still made it for a bit of punditry & watch our first half on Sky. According to gossips, he missed the birth of his child.

John Barnes says Roy Hodgson has proved he is the right man to take Liverpool forward following their impressive 2-0 victory over Chelsea.

Oh Barnesy, what have you done?

It is truly amazing how Hodgson has somehow pulled the wool over the eyes of virtually the entire footballing community.

His record, in the Premiership is a joke but he's constantly lauded as a good manager, the media/pundits seem more blind to his mistakes than to Martin O'Neills and I didn't think that was possible!

maybe aldo means that since benitez leaving lucas has realised that he has to step up his game. bentiez was a big fan of lucas and lucas knew that, he has know ackowledged that and has therefore needed to step up his game. i personally think lucas is playing a hell of a lot better this season.

i think sometimes people read to much into what things are said by ex professionals on this forum. everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it is sometimes wrong.

completely agree, harmless comments that have once again been blown epically out of proportion, not everything is a witch hunt and not everyone has an agenda.

From what I've seen Lucas has gotten better press because he's playing in a less restrictive role than he did most of last season. Mascherano was the main man last year, most of the time, he would start the attacks, switch the play etc and Lucas would support either in defence or attack as appropriate.

This year the CMs have a more symmetrical relationship and it makes it easier for certain types to notice some of Lucas' strengths, which to be fair were there all along, if you remember him playing alongside Aquilani for example.
