25 man squad announced

[Fraggy]

What!!!!! No furlong I thought the reports yesterday where saying he was back ??????????

Re-read the OP, he is there. He is always there in spirit ;)

[SammyKojoe]

Good to see Hogan make the squad

Not really sure why? Hogan should not be anywhere near our team this season. Especially with the other options in midfield.

Nice lad and honest pro. But well out of his depth given the quality we now have available.

Agree mate, would rather we kept Heidar though. Still gobsmacked we sold him and didn't replace him..

Not as gob smacked as the mickey mousers over Andy Carroll

At first glance we look a little thin at striker and quality in the back but when you consider Mbia may have been brought in to play CB and Mackie or Hoilett can play up front I guess we'll be OK!

[dangould]

I can honestly say I'd rather Hulse then Hogan....Hogan will not break into that team... If zamora gets injured at least there is a big guy...

I have heard it all now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool doesn't have a soap opera so they have a football club for all their dramatic needs haha.

I would rather have Hulse or DJ in ahead of Ephraim, as I cant see how he will get a game. But my feeling is that Hughes will use Taarabt, Hoilett, Mackie Johnson and even SWP or Dyer in forward roles if needed.

Yes I think you're right. I'd like to see Mackie upfront in a 4-4-2.

I'll be amazed if Ephraim even makes the bench let alone gets on the pitch. Personally I think it's a waste of a squad place which should've gone to a defender.

Hogan can offer much more then Hulse all round

Hulse can only get a goal if it deflects off him like the goal he scored in the Championship when it bounced off his shin

Hulse is a big guy, however, he doesn't jump so Hogan would probably win more headers than him anyway......

[Adel]

I think if anything Hogan was included because he tries hard, plus hes a bit younger it will be good for his game to be around first team whereas someone like hulse (who i dont rate) is nearing the end of his career and probably doesnt put the effort into training as Hogan.

just speculation but still

[silvercue]

Decent. Always a few signings that are close and slip away, but decent. That squad should finish between 10th and 13th if MH does a decent job. If he excels or gets more players in Jan we could get up around 8th.

If he is below 13th and we haven't been injury hit I think he could have got more from the team. Just MHO.

See Diakite hasn't permanently lost his marbles then

[Kirill]

What the #%&*^($# ... where is Hulse???
