Take care of him - he's vital to the operation of the team. The back-line is still in serious doubt - who partners Hyypia - Henchoz or Houllier's favourite donkey, Biscan? Who plays left-back with Riise dropped? The midfield only works when Hamann is there, otherwise that dodgy beack-line creaks apart. Gerard is in fine form, but for how long? Owen is fit, but for how long?
