If Rodgers has the audacity to play Kebe again this Saturday, please please can all of you that think Kebe has ANYTHING to offer us spend the afternoon keeping a close eye on him.

This isn't a new thing, nor any sort of personal vendetta, but Kebe is truly awful. I won't list all of the negative adjectives that apply to him, but as he cannot tackle, anticipate, head, find space, distribute, score or goal assist I can't see that he has anything to offer us apart possibly from being a last 10-15 minute roll of the dice sub (which is a lame excuse to include him really) !

I'd be delighted if he doesn't feature at all on Saturday. HRK and/or Henry can fill this position with ease by comparison. In any case Kebe is far too lightweight for the agressive and physical Sheff U

did you see/hear the game last night
just like every other time, henry failed to deliver

i can see HRK being a big player for us, but he still really isnt to be relied upon for a 40+ game season

even factoring in his crapness, i think kebe just gives you more-

whats really needed is a better winger...........

we really are a shambles. :cry:

We're going to lose, so I can't even be bothered to select a side. Surprise me Rodgers.

Some bunch of kids that were nowhere near the 1st team last year is my guess.

Kebe scored at Plymouth last season in Thierry Henry style. Thanks.

Be surprised if Kebe features anyway - groin strains don't normally clear up that quickly.

Against Chelsea Pre season this formation worked, in my opinion, for a number of reasons:

-------------------Feders------------------------
Rosey--------Cisse---Pearce-------Bertrand
-------------------Gunnar---------------------
-----------Tabb-------------Davies-----------
HRK--------------------------------------Kebe
-------------------Long-----------------------

Now, not only did Gunnar provide some experiance in the team, he had the protection from Tabb which allowed Davies almost a free role behind Long. Having his experiance in front of the back 4 encouraged the yoof to get forward. Although the early stages we couldn't even touch the ball, we soaked up all the pressure without them causing too much hassle. As the half went on we utilised the width more and Tabb / Gunnar gave the attacking options much more freedom with the fullbacks almost playing as wingers. I would like to make one change though Church or Hunt for kebe.
