Villa are a good team. They can get 4th spot imo, especially with Arsenal falling apart.
A lot of people reckon Wenger will resign soon.
I watched the highlights of the Liverpool v Fulham game and the decsion to leave out Alonso and play Lucas cost Liverpool dearly. He is such an idiot for doing that. Lucas is poor imo. He has made no impression since he joined the club.
Anyone else think that Liverpool might be best off cashing in on Ryan Babel?

^^but where do you play him and in fairness he has got enough chances. He has done well in a few games coming off the bench but for a player who was rated so highly as he was at Ajax, he should be an established first team player now. If Liverpool sold him now they could get big money for him and strengthen other positions in the team.
At the same time, i have a feeling that he could become a top player. Its hard to know.
Id like to see Liverpool sign a top right winger and then play Kuyt up front more. That boy has his scoring boots on this season.

Technically, I'd say Babel should be used on the flanks. He's not a striker. I talked about this with my boy just yesterday. He's not a striker for a very simple reason. He's not good enough. He's not a finisher.
Even more, Babel isn't consistent. Yes, he can have a moment of brilliance and decide the match, but so can more players on that high level.
As for Kuyt, he's no striker either. In form he is, definitely, but no striker. I think he wouldn't do well in a pure upfront role.
Also, his defensive work when employed on the flank exceeds invaluable.

Aye he did play up front for Feyenoord, but considering the higher level of the Premier League and naturally, the quality of actual strikers in said league and for Liverpool specifically, I'd say he falls short.
Not to say he'd absolutely suck at a striker position. If necessary you can play him there and he'll do alright for a half or maybe a few matches if the need is really high, but I'm convinced you'll get the most out of him playing him on the flank.
And yes, Ireland has been very good so far. The Ireland staff better call him up soon, you can't afford to let players of his calibre slip.
