I was just thinking, with Johnson back and playing well.
Does anyone think Kelly would do a job in Lucas's position? He's quick, can tackle, good defensively in the air and his passing is pretty good for a defender.
I just think that he would be a better alternative than Spearing, or henderson in that role, at least until Gerrard is back fit.
Anyway thats my view, what does everyone else think?
What about Kelly??

I can just imagine KK lining everyone up and saying "OK let's see if you can get the ball off Agger"

Wow the class at Ja606 has shown its self. No debate, just abuse.
I suppose ask a simple question get a simpleton answering it.

Not really an attack at you, but it was a general comment, to douse the few who are convinced that playing players out of position will suffice.
Spearing is a good option - Let him play a few games before we decide on drastic measures - such as pepe in the DM role.
Not bad feelings

I like Kelly, but for me he lacks the technical attributes to play as an effective DM. He's great running forward with or without the ball and obviously defensively sound, but I don't think that keeping the ball under pressure and picking the right pass is a strength of his.

I would play Rafa there.

Everybody knows Rafa is better playing behind the striker.

Everyone knows Rafa is the King of playing players out of position <wink>

Seems a little clumsy still just yet.
