in the "what do liverpool need" thread saint. there's two or three already saying drop him. it was readin that which got me thinkin about this one.
there might be more examples of him being called average already, but that's the one that springs to mind.

So he might not of been Roberto Carlos or Steve Nicol in those early performances, but the lad is young and still trying to bed his way into the first team. We can't expect a player so young to be a world star so quickly. He's still learning the language, he's still trying to feel at home with the other first teamers and more importantly he's trying to get to grips with the pace of the premiership. It's a very different style between reserves and first team. So give the lad a chance, and stop whinging already that he's average. He's one of the brightest prospects the club has, and in time will make the left back position his own with any luck.
I just really think it shines a bad light on us as fans when people are whinging about the lack of youngsters coming through, then one does break through, he's slaughtered just because he's not a world beater in his first five or six games. I have high hopes for the lad, and hope he along with four or five others youngsters can really stake a claim in our starting eleven from next year. The talent is there, and it'll allow Rafa Benitez the chance of saving on millions of money so he can buy quality in the positions our youngsters aren't yet capable of filling.
Next season onwards Insua should be our left back if Gareth Barry has been signed as a central midfielder. Nemeth should be making the step up to replace Voronin. Spearing should be ahead of Lucas in the pecking order. Martin as back up keeper. Darby is a quality right back in the reserves, and may also make the grade. But if these players aren't the world stars many of us think they are in their first 10 games, don't get on their backs and knock their confidence even more. Give them a couple of months, let them get used to the same players and pace of the premiership.
Same goes for new signings. This lad Degen is already being labelled as not good enough by fans, without even seeing him play in a Liverpool shirt. Barry is already getting stick because none of the other top four want him, which is a pathetic statement in itself. We've been linked with Maik Taylor apparently, and I don't personally want him at Liverpool, but I'll reserve judgement if he's good enough to play for us, after he's played a string of games.
We keep being told that Rafa Benitez needs time to get it right. He needs time to gel the players together to get them used to one another, well that works both ways. The players need time as well. Only the manager can tell if he thinks the player is good enough for the club or not, but no manager can make that decision based on five or six games. Players need time to settle and time to gel and I just think far to many fans are getting on the backs of players so quickly. Yes we all crave instant success because it's been far to long since we had success in the league, but to expect these kids to walk in and become instant heroes with the fans at Anfield and around the globe is total nonesense.
Lets try and reserve criticism on our players for a little longer shall we. If Barry comes in the summer and misses two penalties on the opening day I can already see people saying "10 million down the drain" or "why did we lose Riise for this" Just give the new lads (signings and new youngsters bedding) some bedding in time first.
