Maxi Rodriguez

Houllier's main problem in my eyes was his refusal to recognise his own mistakes. For instance, Benitez bought Keane and shipped him out inside six months. Houllier persevered with one poor player after another. The result was the damage was amplified.

Aye, can't argue with that in the slightest. Diouf should have been shipped out/shot/hid in the basement after two weeks.

Neil would've been manly enough to hound Diouf out.

**** me. Houllier signing the players. Now there was a man that could waste money.

All managers make duff signings mate. Houllier picked some shockers but he also made some cracking signings too, as we all know.

Houllier's success in the transfer market wouldn't be much different then Rafa's tbh. Funny how Ged's not forgiven for his poor transfers just cause his rivals outspent him. I'm sure we'll not see Kenny moaning about not getting his first choice targets either.

Both had their fair share of turkeys. But they also bought in the likes of Hyypia, Henchoz, Hamman, Reina, Agger, Alonso, Torres etc.

Houllier's best signings all began with an 'H'.

Houllier was quite well supported financially compared to Rafa, was he not?

Rafa got heavy support one year and bought Torres, Masch, Lucas, Dirk etc...

Houllier got heavy support and bought Diouf, Daio etc.

My point about Houllier was in relation to the belief by some it was his team in Istanbul. It was supposed to be a joke but a bit too subtle I guess!

I think Maxi has wronged Kenny in a former life, because he constant exclusion is baffling.

suarez and Maxi playing behind Carroll for me would surely case problems and create chances - strange one he can't get a kick

Surely there's something behind the scenes, it really doesn't make sense to me

I really dont get it. Its not that I think Maxi is going to win games single-handedly but he would seem an obvious option for our left side at the moment. Downing and Enrique just arent working as a pairing. They keep trying to make the same runs so they end up getting in each others way or standing four yards apart. With Enrique's love of getting down the line, I would have thought a player who drifts inside from the left would be an obvious combination - even just for a change. That Maxi isnt even getting 15 minutes when we need to change things is baffling.

spot on

[peekay]

I am a bit stumped about his absence too. We played some uber sexy football under Kenny with him, Suarez, Meireles and Dirk.

[Shaggy]

It's driving me insane. Scoring goals for fun at the end of the season, contributing to a team playing superb pass and move football, and yet for whatever reason it's clear Kenny doesn't rate him. He can't get a minute of meaningful action even when we're struggling and a fella preferred on the left wing doing **** all time and time again.

It's the change in the way we play which has screwed Maxi. Doesn't fit into the system.
