THE Swiss forward scored twice against Manchester United as a substitute in December and was rewarded with starts in Liverpool’s next two games. But since Christmas the £13million buy from relegated Stoke, who looked to be one of the signings of the season, has played just two and a half hours of Premier League football in three and a half months.

IT will no doubt thrill us this weekend but the players will make us wait first.
