Carra RB Soto CB Skrtel CB Johnson LB I know my appraisals on Wilson haven´t been good but I really hope we don´t see him line up against Nani.

I know Kellys position is a CB but I loathe to put him back there as I think he´s made for right back and we´d miss his foraying runs down the wing.

We´ll most probably be in the market for at 2 defenders come the summer. A LB and probably a CB and if he´s performance don´t start picking up I reckon he´ll be finding himself down the pecking order. As well as his lack of winning headers his distribution was poor but I know everyones was poor in todays game. We missed Agger as well as perhaps good movement aheah of the ball hence the continual hoofs and lack of ability to hold onto the ball. At the moment I just don´t see the potential in him to be replacing any one of our CB´s which in itself is quite damning. But like I said if KD sees something in him in training then he knows better than me and I hope he proves me wrong.

How good is Coady meant to be?

Perhaps I´m missing something but I´ve yet to see a promising display from him. Against Sparta he was average at best or perhaps I´m basing him on Kellys performances who is around the same age and also meant to be a young promising CB. The difference in quality between these 2 is astonishing. I hope he proves me wrong and the quality everyone is raving about shines through.

Wouldn´t Birmingham then claim the place for losing finalists?

As has been mentioned before with Kuyt he´s a good player to have in the squad for the bigger teams as he runs and runs but he lacks the quality when we need the extra quality to get past the lower teams. I wouldn´t get rid of him but agree with Ngog, Skrtel, Wilson and Cole. If Wilson can´t win headers playing left back what hope has he got playing CB! We played our best flowing football with Maxi in the team so why is Fat King Cole suddenly above him in the pecking order?

I know it was going to be a big ask anway but losing that game f***s up our chance for finishing above sixth place! What are the rules on Europa qualification?

Can I suggest no MOM thread today as choosing a 3 from that shocking display will certainly be a no go!

Why does Paul Walsh think Joe cole has had a good game?

has Wilson won a single header today? Jeez!!!

WTF. A big gaping hole in front of him and Cole turns back!

God the linesman is crap!

Wilson is no way near a first XI player based on todays performance!

Parker seems to be everywhere perhaps Gerrard should be taking notes!

Whats Gerrards and Suarez´s excuse?

Wilson has looked rubbish and hoofing the ball doesn´t help him! Gerrard needs to impose himself and he was completely anon. What´s wrong with Maxi lately?

Our passing has been awful!

Kelly Kuyt The Greek

Spearing played really well when he came on. Just seen the Man City line up. I thought Mancini was on spouting about the number of injuries and they were down to their bare bones. I was expecting a seriously depleted team!!!

Just scanned through the BBC live text and only 1 booking for Lucas

Who wanted Kuyt off? GET IN!!!!!

Can´t see Cole lasting 120 mins so expect Maxi on for him later unfortunately as would prefer Ngog off.

Difficult one if Agger is injured. Perhaps keep Cole on and move Raul back as someone already mentioned. Perhaps not so simple after all. Haha.
