Dani Pacheco

Looks brilliant

 

Thats one of the only positives i got out of tonight.

 

Worth a game more often?

[Falconhoof]

Yes, keep him in the squad and push Voronin out of a hotel window.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

think it's already happened

[Paul]

Looked bright when he came on, definitely worth a shout now and again.

[lfc003]

Always wanted the ball sign of a good player

[Alonso]

Start him in the FA Cup and Europa League.

[Leo No.8]

I find it astonishing he hasn't featured more until now. Looks a class above everyone else in reserve football.

 

Have said it a few times on here, think he'll really come into his own playing with better players. Wants the ball to feet all the time and has the ability to play quick, one touch stuff and pick out a killer pass which should suit better movement.

 

Also has the ability to score a goal from nothing, and almost did with that snap shot tonight just after coming on. Very talented kid, only going to get better but he absolutely has to be involved more regularly with the first team.

 

He should be on the bench pretty much every week in my opinion.

Great to see him demanding the ball. Be interesting to see him and Torres up front together for a few games.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

deffo - he's only 18 as well, isn't he? Looks like an intelligent player

[john_lfc]

Is he more suited to Gerrards role or what?

[Zoob]

Is he more suited to Gerrards role?

 

Yes. Can tell how intelligent he is, and has skill to match it too. Been reading about how much he's learning from Benayoun, which doesn't surprise me...

Make it look like an accident and we might get some money on the insurance. Hopefully we'll never see Voronin ahead of Pacheco again - would just be utterly pointless as I genuinely believe Pacheco is more likely to have an impact coming off the bench

[stressederic]

Where was he actually playing when he came on?

[Leo No.8]

Is he more suited to Gerrards role or what?

 

Yep - best position is in the hole behind a main striker.

 

If Pacheco were to develop into a top player, he'd be made to play off Torres. Has the ability to get the ball, make a yard for himself with his touch then play Torres in. Still has a long way to go, but he could be something special.

 

Point is now is the time to find out, not when he's 20 and it might be too late. Get him used to playing proper football whilst he's still developing and while we are short of (good) experienced forwards anyway.

We have to continue to gamble on talent like this. Looks far more 'ready' than Insua ever did.

[Cunny]

I said it about 4 or 5 weeks ago when the injury crisis was at it's worst, that I couldn't understand why he was not getting a place in the 18 man matchday squad.

If I see useless wastes of the shirt like Voronin and Babel ahead of him again, I'll openly weep.

Ah, no. Insua looked a real prospect until this season of rut.

pacheco looks more than a prospect already, thats the point.

[Benzo-13]

pacheco looks more than a prospect already, thats the point.

He looked fearless out there and a debut striker will always look exciting and create more anticipation than a left back.

 

Anyway, was great to see him on the pitch with the first team at last.

[Maldini]

I'd have him on the bench for every game for the rest of the season and throw him in for 15-20 minutes when we can. Not only for his development, but because he's a great option and can make a contribution.

Good point. Much easier for a forward to make a good impression. Good to see him get some action though.

absolutely. he's a better option than some of our starters.

 

kuyt needs to go and stop playing football for a while, he is a mess right now.

Looked a much better team when he went off. That said its a bit like taking a Honda C90 off and bringing on a Works Ducatti.

[Jarg Armani]

Looked f***ing brilliant. Confident as anything, I'm coming on, I'm gonna have a shot. boom.

 

There was only one winner until masch went off there.

[Coyler]

Must have been some buzz trying to get on the end of a backheeled through ball from Torres in front of the f*cking Kop as well. No wonder he looked mad for it.
