No .
But I dont think I'm alone when I say I'm surprised at how much he has started games . I had him down at the start of the season to be coming off the bench rather than starting .

Thats a fair, but frustrating point. I mean I'd be happy for someone like Shelvey or Sterling to get some game time in Maxi's place but it appears he prefers Carroll and Adam to run around, fall over and/or bounce off people.

Jose Enrique believes Liverpool have made great strides this season - and claims our current league position does not reflect the potential within the squad.


The Reds have excelled in knockout competitions this term, with the Carling Cup already in the cabinet and an FA Cup semi-final just over two weeks away.

Enrique thinks this is proof of the progress being made at Anfield.

"In the cups we are doing well but in the league I think we deserve more than where we are now but the truth is we are in seventh position," he told Liverpoolfc.tv. "We have played good football in many games but against Wigan (on Saturday) we didn't deserve to win.

"This team is in production. The owners have signed young players. I think we have a really good squad already but of course we have to improve - everyone.

"The manager takes pressure for us and of course that is good. But the truth is, when we make mistakes or have a bad game, we know where the mistakes come from. Who plays the games? The players. Who has to win them? The players too.

"The players are frustrated just the same (as the fans)."

Enrique claims his desire to improve results is partly attributable to the debt he feels he owes Kenny Dalglish.

"I am really grateful to him," said the 26-year-old. "Of course I want to do my best for the team and for Liverpool first, but also for the manager because he signed me.

"The truth is Liverpool went many years without winning something and already we have one cup and we are playing for another one."

Why would Ancelotti who got rid of Cole at Chelsea suddenly want him at PSG?

Accounts wise €6 Million or whatever the fee is with Aquilani shouldn't leave much to write down on him, he's "here" 3 years come the Summer, plus there would have been a contribution towards his wages from Juventus and Milan.
