Liverpool already had enough troubles off the pitch when he signed on, and now he's lost the player whom in my humble opinion, was the most important part of the Liverpool puzzle on the pitch - Javier Mascherano.<br /><br />For me, he is quite simply the best holding midfielder in the world. Gerrard and Torres might get the plaudits with their goal-scoring exploits up front, but Mascherano is the one who's been holding the defence and midfield together and allowing the stars to shine further up the pitch. He does what Makelele used to do for Chelsea.<br /><br />Hodgson has moved quickly to replace him with Mereiles (and wisely so), but sadly, I think Mascherano's loss is nevertheless something Hodgson won't be able to compensate for in the near future. It will take some time for a club to get used to playing without such a dominating player in the heart of the team.<br /><br />Then again, you can't feel too sorry for Hodgson either cos he probably knew Mascherano wouldn't stay...Ian Yeehttp://bit.ly/ianythingnoreply@blogger.com
