meireles middle finger to whom???

That expression looks gay! 

who is staying up for the MU vs Spurs match?

Spurs gonna win this time

i think KD wil just go for english buy...others are just speculation..

  there is no way we're gonna sell Maxi anytime soon. the ones that need to go are poulsen, degen, insua. plus i think Aquilani is going to milan, while joe cole might be going on loan somewhre.

First of all, I dun think many of us here acknowledge maxi as the best player or hero. Most of us here just saying is a decent for backup.

Then mind I ask you, do Liverpool currently has anymore backup winger type of player with decent quality?

As far as I know, only downing is a proper winger type of player in current liverpool squad......I know kuyt can play as right winger, but seriously he is not a winger where every1 already acknowledge it.....

and from your that bold phrase, it seems like you are assuming maxi himself refuse to play and rather to sit on the bench.....IT was KD who give him that role and he accept it without complaint....So u wish maxi to do something like babel, benayoun or riera?(that keep on moan to the media about how unhappy he is sitting on the bench?)

In my opinion I think its always god to have a strong bench, tats they key of sucess... All the successful teams doesn't just rely on the first 11/15 but its the first 18.. By having experience players like Maxi its always gud n I will definitely choose Max ahead of Sterling and Suso to come in at the end of the game and contribute something.. Sterling n Suso seem to be gud but I don't think there r there yet.. Seen Sterling in action last season n I think Maxi is better..

Maxi just sits around to collect money ? Why would you say that ? Because he's not a flashy youth ? I think you understimate his worth to the team. He's not exactly getting younger but experience can be quite useful to the team. Youth is not the answer to everything, just look at Arsenal for example. Unlike Cole, Maxi is a lot more professional, he keeps fit and do his job whenver required. He's a very useful squad player. He can play in several positions, that may not count for much given his age but should luck desert us and we'll find ourselves in some crisis, you gonna wish we have someone like him. He will get game time because the likes of Kuyt and Downing will not be able to play all season long, that is if they don't get injured first. The best of teams rotate their players regardless of their abilities. Also retaining him helps to keep morale up amongst the spanish speaking players like Suarez, Reina and hopefully new players like Coates.

It's not only his game that suffers when the team plays badly. A lot of other players are affected by that as well - football is after all, a team sport. If you think back, you'll be able to recall how Lucas got the same thing thrown at him, that he only played well when the team played well. If you're gonna use Suarez as a stick to beat Maxi with, then why not use it against other players when their form dipped whenever Suarez didnt take part in the game ?

Maxi is not a conventional winger, he's just a modern attacking forward who can play in various attacking positions. He's not the greatest player in that position but he's not terrible in it either. You could say the same for most of our players too but that's not all that important. The important thing is his ability to play along sides his team mates. As Kenny puts it, his strength is his football intellect. Give Maxi's brain to Babel and you'll have a killer footballer. If i'm not mistaken, just last season he had the highest ratings of creating non converted chances. His assists ratings would be unquestionable had those chances been converted. At the moment, he's still alot better than most of the lads from the Academy.

Imo, it's not important to get world class or 9/10 type of players. You can get away with lesser players just as long as you can get the whole team operating at optimal level. Especially when Maxi is now being used more as a squad player - a security blanket. It's far cheaper to keep him than it is to replace him.

Ooo....so our so called sitting there doing nothing but collecting money score when he is given a chance to do so........  

I think that sometimes you are expecting too much from a decent backup player. Remind you again maxi is a backup with decent quality. Obviously, you can see clearly from this match that when he is given the opportunity, he gladly take it and finish it as well. U expect maxi who is a backup player for Liverpool come in and do a messi stuff?

If you saying about terrible affairs without suarez, why only aim at our backup player and not the other 1st team player?

Nvm I know I can't change your mindset towards maxi....just hope that you will appreciate him more rather than claiming him sitting there on bench doing nothing and collecting money.....Your this phrase is totally an insult to maxi himself......

Peace out

what about this^ lineup guys? 

Don't quite agree with that mate. I know we've heard it over and over again but I truly believe that no player is bigger than the club. I mean I've seen careers begin and end e.g. Fowler, McManaman and Redknapp but my support for Liverpool has never wavered. This doesn't mean I'm not a fan of Gerrard. As far as I'm concerned he cemented his place as a leader in Istanbul. His half-time talk urging the players to respond to the fans, the sight of him scoring our first goal against AC Milan and then waving his hands up, urging the players to pick it up and the fans to up the noise are still vivid in my mind. He has always led by example and Martin Tyler's description of him will always stick in my mind i.e. "Steven Gerrard, one man task force". Still, the club is bigger than any player, dare I say even King Kenny. Everything that the club stands for today is built on foundations laid by Shankly with Paisley by his side and perhaps they, are bigger than the club but no one else.

My 2 cents.
