Aquilani...

Aquilani's issue is fitness. Or, to be more precise, match-fitness. It is one thing for a player to overcome an injury - especially one which required surgery, as Aquilani's did - but quite another to get themselves up to full playing speed. Especially if they have missed out on the hugely-important pre-season.

"He [Aquilani] has been out for longer than we expected and, because he has been injured during the summer, he has not been able to train properly," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.

"Now it is much better and it is a case of improving his match fitness. We want to play him and we thought we might have been able to do that with the reserves at Wigan.

"That was called off, but we had some games at Melwood and he played 45 minutes against our reserves last week. We are trying to improve him as quickly as we can."

Aquilani will be in contention for a first start of his Liverpool career as the Reds travel to Blackburn on Saturday, but even if he does not begin the game at Ewood Park, Liverpool fans should not worry.

He is pretty much certain to make his full Anfield bow next Wednesday in what will be little more than a pride-restoring clash with Fiorentina in the Champions League, and with things getting pretty hectic in the Premier League over the next month, the Italian is bound to play a bigger and bigger role, as Liverpool look to re-build a season that has looked in danger of falling apart.

今個星期...對Blackburn ...最多都係後備...

贏多過兩球...我估佢先會上陣...

不過...指日可待...

下場對費倫...佢一定正選...COOL...

有時覺得賓蛇太保守...

又太保護球員...

好返咁耐...就算未FIT...都可以出姐...

MATCH FITNESS 係要係 MATCH中操架...

唔知係愛佢定害佢...唉！

希望阿古...比D表現出嚟...攞返個正選啦...
