According to Final Score, Carragher's playing in a holding midfield role....

Only just seen this Nailed on to score like

Looks like Liverpool are playing a 5-4-1 (Kuyt up front on his own). Bit negative for a home game.

I seem to remember a photo where he showed off his cardboard version of himself....

Nice

Yeah, Alex could still say no like (which I expect him to). Agreeing a fee doesn't mean a lot....

Ben Arfa did more in the second half against Blackburn than Obertan has done in his last few games!

Nice developments here! Our long-term fullbacks being Santon at RB and Cissokho at LB would do very nicely. But I can't help but be somewhat skeptical about this. £7 million + is a lot for a LB (for Ashley anyway) so it doesn't really make sense, could yet be a load of bollocks in the end. But I do trust the French press more than Douglas, Ryder etc so I'm pretty optimistic..... Wait and see I guess!

I reckon that Ben Arfa should play on the wing for now. I think an extended run on the wing could help him to build his confidence/match fitness/sharpness up and that should help him to ease into the number 10 role. Otherwise this:

Guess Pardew doesn't want to admit he was wrong.....

Saving my wildcard, for now....

That wiki article certainly makes him sound exciting/promising enough.....

Aye....

Pretty confident that Ben Arfa will start on Sunday. Though he'll probably be played in the number 10 instead of the wing....

Yeah, I hope so and if this happens, hopefully he'll be played at RB instead of RW.

Cannot see Alex moving to QPR no matter what offer Fernandes and co throw at him imo......

Probably a Giggs but just came across this: http://i.imgur.com/OxxRB.jpg :lol:

Sounds like the experience he's gained from his loan spells has done him a lot of good. Don't think he's ready for the first team yet (think he's getting close though) - I would still like to see him get some experience at RB (another loan maybe?).

He has to be there to reveal the mackems' signing..........Emile Heskey
