why not?
just to remind you, he is the most used LFC player this season just behind Mignolet.
What is that other than prove the manager thinks he is the core player for us. Besides we have a great season so far... He always has good matches, only becouse he scored today it is his best? is this your logic? In fact i can´t remember a bad match he had this season. He is more dangerous today than Paulinho as Gerrard just said in the studio, he praised him just now for being the most improved player this season thanks to the coach..
The fact he playes for LFC is prove he is good enough don´t you think?
