Felt he was their best player yesterday even out of position at LB Certainly he performed better than Rodgers £15mil midfielder.
One of my mates is a Liverpool fan, and I told him at the start of this season that I thought Downing would come good for them. He strikes me very much as a confidence player, and his first half season for us, after his injury, he was utterly gash. Once he'd got his fitness back, and built his confidence, he started doing it for us.You can call him a fanny who bottles tackles, but, he's a winger, and since when did wingers need to be putting in crunching tackles? Don't get me wrong, he's a weasel faced cock socket, who i find thoroughly reprehensible, but he was exceptional for us in his last season.At Liverpool, he's had a disastrous first season, and found himself with a manager who clearly doesn't want him (as has Darren Bent), s he's not going to get the chance to prove himself.There's obviously not going to be any way back for him here. For a start, he probably doesn't want to, but then we also have a manager who clearly doesn't believe in wingers. I suspect he'll go somewhere were there is less expectation on him and he'll do quite well. If someone can pay the right sort of money for him (NB, Martin, that's not 15m), then I think they'll get a good deal from him.

Only two found a red shirt. All the bullshit about how he used to supply the goals for Bent last season was just that, bullshit.
He's been told that he can leave Liverpool. Shame.
I think there's a decent player in there somewhere, he could still do a job at VP, probably not in the current system.
He's on his way to Arsenal no doubt about it

Rudy's bang on, he can't pick a player out.When he played for us his final ball was poor, as was Ashleys to be fair.Lplop fail because if you sit deep against them, they have no alternative plan.Good, can't stand them.
