    I'd have no faith in him as a long term points scorer.

    ah here, its 45 mins of one match. Bit soon to be writing the guy off to be fair. Also he put a sublime ball through to Suarez which he won the penalty from

    Get a grip lad. He's just had a quiet 45 minutes. Look at his goalscoring record since he joined liverpool. The only time he disappointed was when chelsea threw him out on the wing/on the bench. Wouldn't be the first time a young player's career stalled at chelsea. He was top notch at bolton too.

    When he joined;)

    He's the English Adebayor.

    As I said,I've no faith in him keeping up his form over a season.

    Maybe I'm grumpy due to making a hames of my Captaincy today.

    I think he's just sluggish after the international break, as is the case with a lot of players. The early kick-off doesn't help either. He'll score plenty of points over the course of the season IMO.

    Classing Liverpool as title contenders would be ludicrous
