hi eds,

Are there any plans for teixiera?

Do you think he will be able to make it in the first team in coming months?

Thank you for all your crucial updates and tireless work!

{Ed001's Note - to be honest, the plans are not fixed, he has the rest of the season to sort out his future. It is up to him, he has the talent to be a first team regular, but he has to convince Klopp he is ready. Personally I love him and think he deserves a shot, but I don't believe Klopp rates him as highly as I do and I think, sadly, he is going to struggle to make a go of it with us. It really is up to him though, he will get a few more chances, but he needs to take them.}

Thanks ed001, insightful as always.

Whom did you like yesterday? Branngan?

{Ed001's Note - Smith was excellent in the first half, Flanno has to get the award for best player just because he slotted in like he had never been away. If he gets any better Cafu will be known as the Brazilian Flanagan....}

Ed, do you know what it is that is keeping Lallana ahead of Teixeira in the pecking order? Because Lallana contributes virtually nothing apart from hard work to make himself stand out as a clear first choice, and I'm curious as to why Klopp's not willing to take a risk on Teixeira, and see if he can muster up any better attacking contribution that is beyond Lallana's capabilities.

{Ed001's Note - hard work is its own reward they say mate, and it is certainly rewarding Lallana, as it is his work rate that is keeping him in amongst the first choices. It is up to Teixeira and others to match the work rate and then their better ability can take them into the team.}

To be honest ed01 it's a bit of a joke that Tex and co are not getting more game time when the likes of lallana and Milner get started, I know there young, and are lacking the experience and fitness of the senior players but they show a hell of a lot more heart. They also carry more threat in front of goal, Ojo and Tex's finishes are far better than what we have seen all season from some of our seniors. I understand they can't just be thrown in every week but surely they have started to show there talent and that they offer more in attack than others.

I listened to the Pod earlier and honestly was shocked be benny's defending of Lallana, and we are all entitled to our opinion and I'm not having a go, but Tex getting 1 goal makes me feel like he should easily start before him. Lallana dosnt seem to want to be a goal threat and take chances where the young lads do.

I guess for myself, I just don't see what it is lallana offers that one of the kids dosnt, we need goals and the way some of the shots were taken they have shown a better instinct for goal as well as looking like they have more composure in front of goal. The only way I guess we will know is if they get there chance and take it, and after the last few years it worrys me that some of these lads will leave for first team football before we know if they will make it.

{Ed001's Note - I don't think it is a joke, but I would prefer to see Tex getting the chance.}

Ed01 I see your point and to be fair I'm not putting the blame squarely on Klopp. We have known about some of these youth players for a long time now and have repeatedly purchased players that have kept them out the team without really making us any better. Guess it's a little bit of impatience on my part to see Klopp work with the lads and create something special which I fully believe he will.
