Nev's Tuesday Phew !

I think something that's worth noting about Albrighton is that he always seems to have a plan for what to do with the ball. He wants to move it forward and he wants to do it quickly. That's probably why he's combined well with Vardy over the years, because that kind of attitude can get him in behind and opposition defenders racing backwards. Essentially, Albrighton has very good vision.

The flip side of course is that he doesn't have the quality that many of his peers do. Tiki-taka isn't his game and he concedes possession too much for a possession-based side.

But he does have his qualities and can provide a plan B if both Rodgers is prepared to mix things up and accept Albrighton's limitations in exchange for his positives, and also if Albrighton accepts that he's going to be in and out of the team as his manager's tactics require. Essentially, I still think he can have a role to play, but perhaps more of a rotation one rather than the regular starter he used to be.

As for how he compares with our other wide players - Barnes is coming on well and responding to coaching, Perez unfortunately appears to have a ceiling and Gray just looks like one of those players who can't produce with any kind of regularity and never makes it to the top of the game as a result. We'll likely be looking for a new winger in the summer but it won't be Barnes or Albrighton suffering from it.

Dublin - I think it's more that there's no indication of him signing a new contract. I don't think he's unhappy as such, but he'll be getting to the point where we need to consider his asset value as much as his playing ability.

One thing I would argue Dunge is Perez could have a future out our club more centrally if we lose Maddison. But as a wide player, he’s not who I would want to rely on next season.

Barnes has been the one shining light over the last 10 games. He’s continuing to develop and his strengths are looking stronger whilst his weaknesses less of a hindrance. He reminds me a lot of Sterling at the same age - not footballing brain and erratic end product, but extreme attributes of pace, being able to carry the ball and the odd excellent finish amongst many rather embarrassing efforts!

Think he and we would be happy if he reached the same level!!

I saw a tweet from a Liverpool supporter after last night who likes the look of Barnes - and reckons that £30M should secure his services

I assume he means Ashley.

Mersey - If we're going to give a player the luxury of a free role in the number 10 slot then he has to be better than Perez. Even Maddison doesn't get that these days given his defensive duties.

I’ve in love with Barnes at the moment as I put a tenner on him to net a brace

What did you get for that?

£380

I hope that’s just what you’re telling the missus.

I may have enough for a pint with what will be left
