What is Maxi?

Liverpool won their third consecutive game under new manager Kenny Dalglish when they beat Stoke City 2-0.


The side Kenny put out was hugely different to one ‘Pool fans were used to, with Fabio Aurelio and Glen Johnson playing in more advanced roles to give the Reds some much needed width.

The most promising aspect about the line-up was the absence of Maxi Rodriguez. I have never been able to work him out, and I couldn’t understand how he was a consistent starter for a top club:



-  He is not a natural wide man

-  He is not a striker

-  He is not a player blessed with heaps of natural ability or pace

-  He does not retain possession well

So what is he? Where is his best position?

I have no idea. But perhaps he would be suited to going to one of the ‘lesser’ clubs and making an impact there.
