World class is Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and a handful of others.  Luis Suarez is, for me, very good, but not quite great.  Just my opinion of course, but it's one that seems to be shared by the proper/rich big clubs as the cheating little scrote is still at upper mid-table Liverpool. 

They have been a great club, but the aren't currently anywhere near being great.  Fuck it, I'm changing my prediction.  0-2 Villa.

After the midweek high I will be if we gat a point out of this one, I don't want our little bubble to get deflated to quickly, and to be fair in our current state a point off the bin dippers would be a good one.

Good point, I suppose if you define world class as one of the 2/3 best players in a position it's harder to argue for Suarez. I was thinking more along the lines of being able to make a difference at the highest level. The 'cheating little scrote' part has obviously gone un-argued.

A win today will almost certainly see us rise 3 places with saints not playing, Sunderland at Man U and Newcastle already losing 0-2 at home to citeh- would be nice to get out of the bottom 6 and I think we will win 2-1.

Yeah, it does come down to definitions I guess.   You can certainly call him a match-winner.  Hopefully not today though...

I'd definitely play Stevens or Bennett ahead of lichaj.
I'd agree on Stevens, not seen enough of Bennett but I've seen enough of Lichaj .

I'd play Lichaj played well midweek even grabbing an assist.
