Enrique - top player, brilliant signing and at a great price too
Bellamy - been great, would have liked to have seen him play more but there perhaps is a reason for that, must be horrible to play against and I like that
Adam - mixed bag, a few games ago I thought he had a decent run of performances but last couple he has been poor, what has dissapointed me more about him is the lack of quality on his set pieces and corners, I expected better, he didn't cost a lot though
Suarez - been fantastic, hasn't looked at his best of late but I suppose that's understandable, needs to work on his final ball and stay on his feet a lot more
Henderson - can see why people think he is going to be a real player, I am not sure at the moment, that pass for Downing the other night was class, however there have been too many sideways and backwards passes for me, especially when he has played on the right
Carroll - needs to play more if we are to judge him better and we need to play to his strengths, at the moment it's hard to justify the fee
Downing - been hit and miss since his first game and continues to be, lack of assists isn't all his fault though as other players have wasted good opportunities that he has provided, he has genuine pace but still often flatters to deceive
I suppose in a way my feeling on our midfield is we haven't got the balance right yet, how long have we waited for a genuine right sided player? Where is the creativity and flair?
The number of times I have seen Henderson and Adam sit way too deep, even at a corner kick for us. If Gerrard is not playing we have nobody making runs into the box from midfield, or at least not very often.
