Should we be worried about Gerrard or Carra?
Kind of glad Mr Hoof it (Carra) is not in, maybe we might play with a bit of flair from the back. I worry about Skirtel and Lucas, two very clumsy individuals. Why not Bellamy in for Lucas and go for an all out attack?
gonna go with yes tbh, those two are the heartbeat, think it will be tough without them. hoping others step up
Yes they are the heartbeat, you cant and should not have a side without any real scouse..Lets hope we have a star in one of the young scouse…
