Louis Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Can he make the McAlaney position his own? A one year deal doesn't sound like the club are confident about him though. In contrast.. Barkley was offered a three year (two and a half year) contract, the maximum allowed for the age group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Savage Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I agree , let's hope Moyes can use him a lot more in future. Coming on as a sub for a brand spanking new striker in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 indeed it is Louis and its exactly what we need - hungry, fearless youth who dont care who theyre playing against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 He looked good when he came on, but why wasn't it Vellios? You know, our leading goalscorer who has a knack of coming off the bench to score... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adziom Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Why didn't Moyes put him on? Because he's our top scorer, and because he might have had a shot. Moyes hates scoring goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have been hurt at 3.00 or he'd not have been on the bench) that's the bigger mystery than the mindless first sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaminfox Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you think really hard u could understand his decisions haha For example he subbed in distin for saha because he wanted someone to win more headers which would be fellaini but he wanted to maintain the defensive strength. For mcaleny i think he wanted to use speed to be able to get to fellaini and trouble the slow defenders like mertasacker and koscielny.

Sibdane Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Not a slight to McAleny--he had a decent debut, but Moyes was thinking like this: "Why not put on the young lad, it's not like we are going to win anyway?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You may have noticed that he has an Irish surname, he's said he'd like to play for Ireland but it's not possible as he doesn't meet FIFA's requirements, (it is his great grandparents who are Irish, had it been his grandparents then he'd be eligible for Ireland).

Hopefully he'll prove a decent enough player to merit a senior team call-up in the future.. be it Ireland or England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people born in Liverpool have 'Irish blood' and should be allowed to play for them. Liverpool should be an independent state or even a part of Wales. England is just on the post-code, the proofs in our grandparents surnames the majority of scousers will have 2 grandparents with Irish surnames, one with a Welsh surname then a toss up between English or Scottish.

Bailey Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 It was good to see him play, and I like the way he took his shot on because he didnt have any other options. He at least gives us another option from the bench, as we dont have any pace up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Strong views! We get takin for granted and pissed all over by the media and small minded s*n reading typical English. Talent per capita in Liverpool must be one of the highest in the world, should have more power and respect to reflect that but i'm straying even further off topic than usual so shall digress for now. This Conor looks good, doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
