There's a difference, though. Ilori fits into a hole in our playing staff in that, given Sakho is left sided and Wisdom is playing every game at fullback, we don't have anyone exceptional coming through in his position. He knows, and we know, that should he develop like his potential suggests he will get into this team in the coming years.
Alberto doesn't have that luxury. Texeira and Suso both look really promising, the latter being far ahead of him at a year younger. Then there's Coutinho as you've mentioned. If we are to take this team to the next level (Champions League level, qualifying consistently) I think we need talent of a higher calibre (see below).
I actually feel bad for you guys, and following Micky-gate I felt nothing but hate.
I hope you get back on your feet because then I'll watch the Bundesliga.
As OddMorsel says, with their ages it's silly to rush to such conclusions for young players. All three of the players you mentioned could spend the next 2-3 years as fringe players, only getting cameos here and there and going on frequent loans, and they would still all be available to make a move into the first team at the end of that period.
Texeira has made one sub appearance and has been on the bench 2 other times.

Alberto is still far above Texeira, namely for the reason posted above. There's barely a competitive appearance to Texeira's name yet.
Arnie, pls. I know off Tottingham and "easy" games. D:
You need a save game editor to remove these injuries.
Dortmund have really suffered from injuries this season.
Come on, it's all going according to Klopp's masterplan, to have everyone in top condition for the inevitable CL final. They're not injured, they're just resting.
I agree.
Everything I've seen of Alberto has impressed me. He comes on and looks composed beyond his years, takes control of the game and has made some really key passes.
Yet, despite this, he can't seem to get a run of minutes going (even as a substitute) and often doesn't even make the bench. He's 21 years old, not 18, he should be forcing Brendan to put him on the bench at this points (in my opinion). And maybe my beyond biased love for Suso is making me put an unfair ticking clock on Alberto's Liverpool career.
Hope he does come good, I really do.

Nervous as fuck. Don't have a good feeling about this game after that shameful display earlier this week.
I like that the line-up has been shaken up, I just hope the players finally realize that every game we've played in 2014 has been complete shit except maybe the one against Feyenoord. Klaassen, Veltman and De Jong need to step it up. I'm not even counting on Fischer and Van Rhijn anymore.
Ah Nyx is happy today, his team just scored in the final minutes of the game. Utrecht can surely use them points.
Yeah, though I don't want to be too harsh on Siem since he's been injured a long time. I hope it works out well with Duarte in the middle. We need a steady LB, so it's better to have Blind in the back then.

Ajax have attempted the most long balls per game in UEFA Europa League this season, with 81.

He has a shitty haircut, that's all I know. It makes him look like an utter cunt.

I'd like it if everyone just pretended that game never happened. I'm trying to purge it from my memory.
Robben's fine for some time now already. The injury against Augsburg in the DFB Pokal was not really his fault either. No more glass man!
frighteningly good. he will not play in Austria next season.
that's for sure
and this season he's been better than ribery actually. can't believe I'm saying this but this is probably the best robben since his transfer to bayern
