Liverpool have to keep Javier Mascherano
JAVIER Mascherano had another great game against City on Sunday and was again one of Liverpool's better players.
Ever since he came to Anfield he has done a brilliant job in front of the back four and I've got no doubt that every Liverpool supporter wants to see him stay at the club.
Steven Gerrard must think highly of him as well because when Mascherano is in the team he is given the freedom to go and express himself.
It's no coincidence that Gerrard has scored so many goals in the past couple of months with Mascherano playing alongside him.
Compare that with Gerrard's situation with England where he plays alongside Frank Lampard but doesn't have the same freedom and is therefore restricted from being as effective as he can be.
Mascherano reminds me of Didi Hamann and Ronnie Whelan in that he does a lot of the dog work that gives other players the licence to attack.
It is a role which he performs brilliantly and it would be really disappointing if his stay at Anfield was not made permanent.
