With Lucas out for the rest of the season and Jay Spearing suspended for the next three games, it is time now for £20 million Jordan Henderson to step up to the plate at Liverpool.
We face Neil Warnock’s QPR at Anfield and its a game we simply must win to stay abreast of the top six in the Premiership.
Young Hendo, to be fair, has been played out on the right-wing so far for Liverpool.
The player himself has stated that he is better suited to central midfield and has played there to great effect with the England U-21′s.
However, the cut and thrust of midfield battles in the Premiership is another step-up and the lad will have his chance to impress in there today at 3pm.
He will find himself up against Joey Barton (capt), Shaun Derry, Adel Taarabt in the midfield, so he will have be playing at his very best alongside Charlie Adam to dominate midfield.
Possible Liverpool Team:
Lets hope our depleted midfield can overcome QPR and get us a much-needed win in the League.
IS KENNY RIGHT ABOUT ROONEY’S BAN REDUCTION?
Liverpool Manager Kenny Dalglish surprisingly opened a can of worms at his press-conference on Thursday when he questioned the reduction of Man Utd’s Wayne Rooney getting a three-game ban reduced to two games for next year’s Euro Finals.
MAN UTD & CITY OUT OF CHAMPION’S LEAGUE HA HA
Watching Man Utd crash out of the Champion’s League Group stage has helped me get over Liverpool’s defeat to Fulham no end.
LIVERPOOL LOOSE AT FULHAM & BAR CHART OF RESULTS
An unfortunate defeat at Craven Cottage, 1-0 at the hands of Martin Jol’s Fulham.
It was a very open game with lots of shots on goal by either team as both Pepe Reina and Mark Schwarzer were kept busy throughout the match.
The turning point in the game was the sending off of Jay Spearing for a crude tackle which was deserving of a yellow card but the ref saw red and sent young Spearing off.
At home, Fulham became more dangerous and a Danny Murphy shot was parried into the path of Clint Dempsey by Reina and the Fulham man duly scored from close range.
A disappointing result away from home sees Liverpool fall further behind in the chase for fourth place.
