Sir Mikel OBE

We have a relatively easy run of fixtures right now outside of Liverpool until we run into Robbie's team in a month, and we should be all but qualified by that point. I'd let him have his surgery now and let him have the rest of this calendar year off if he really needs it. Maybe back during the festive period as that is the only time I could see us really stretched thin.

I thought we signed a 32 million pound attacking mid last season?

I'll be highly pissed if we play Matic here. He should be rested.

Jose showed a lot of faith putting him on today.

By his standards this was a decent match IMO. Not worth 32 million, but we already know that.

Matic only having 9 votes really shows how under-appreaciated the role of a DM is. You can't play that role much better than he did today.

Too much sitting back after we scored. Same happened at City. We need to keep the foot on the pedal and kill off matches.

He's the only striker we can realistically start.

Are you trying to jynx it?

To be honest I didn't ever think he was going to play before the QPR match.

And liverpool still can't defend corners

LIverpool. YADA You Always Defend Alone

Ronaldo the greatest

Fair play to Hazard there.

Did his groin on the goal.

Noooo remy hurt after his goal

Thats a penalty

Mourinho looking like the smartest man in England right now.

Pogba is a very good shout. I have to see where Barkley is in a few matches.

His work rate throughout the entire match, while still having the pace to split them like that at the end. Thiago and Jack Wheelchair could not do what he did today. In fact, Wheelchair has not looked the same player since Ramsey has been in bad form. I think rams was making him look a lot better than he is. Oxlade is a joke. The others are debatable though.

Shows how special guys like Drogba are.

He's raping Swansea right now

What is funny about that? Name another youngster who can put in shifts the way he does?

I am most impressed with his work rate. He seems to never stop going really, and that attitude directly influenced all 3 of Liverpool's goals.

Barring injury he will be top 5 in the world sooner or later. Galatico bound.
