Surely NOW is as good a time as ever to bring him into the squad. Is he injured, or don't they rate the lad? The next Steven Gerrard? England under 21 captain and all that?
If he's not good enough, wouldn't he be better off moving to Coventry or West Ham?
You've got to feel for this lad because he's not getting the chances to prove himself. He's already been overtaken by Darren Pothead and Warnock. It must be frustrating being stuck in the Liverpool reserves, watching Diao playing 10-15 games a season for the first team.
