we should go for JAMES MILNER. pure talent.

Not englishman again. They're overpriced.

Totally agree with the asessment on Rafa..but the problem with the setup is when Torres gets injured.
That is a very high propabality situation especially as LIVERPOOL play with one striker...the ball will go to Torres most of the time as he is the lone striker (target man)
I think its better to have someone to pair up with him.

Also agree with the assesment on the crosses must come with more target man to benefit from the cross. But most of the time when Liverpool attack there will be men in the middle.
Even when we counterattack, if it's out on the wing, the player will hold the ball and then cross but i think players like Babel, Benayoun - do not cross as much as to be desired.
Kuyt is not a natural winger but has fill in the role for quite some time...but still much to be desired.
Maybe Maxi will change into that type of winger.

Agger - CB

for me james milner is a gud player but he just offer nothing,, same like i rate lucas

Don't quite get what you mean when you say that he is a good player but offers nothing? Personally, I've been a fan of Milner since he was a budding 17 year old. I think he has good technique. Not the quickest bloke but he has a good head on his shoulders.

Am I only one who thinks that the main priority is not to buy a striker but is for the new doctor to keep Fernando Torres fit? We haven't had Torres fully fit for a whole season and we know how an injured star striker could affect a team, eg. Rooney, Van Persie. Hopefuly the Australian doctor would improve the fitness condition of our players.

In an Arabian fantasy word, I would like a David Villa but in reality, N'Gog and Kuyt are sufficient as backups.

wat i mean is he has good teknik n acceptable pace but he doesnt hav a factor which can change the game tempo..
it's like when ur team 1-0 behind and rafa sub in lucas in the middle of the game hoping he can make the difference which is plain useless...

if wan england player i wuld take in packing order :
1.young
2.lennon
3.joe cole
4.milner/downing
5.moses

Love those live blogs for the lads travelling to Vicente Calderón.

MU - berba, owen, macheda (exclude rooney)
arsenal - bendtner, eduardo (exclude van persie)
chelsea - anelka, kalou, sturridge (exclude drogba)
city - adebayor, bellamy, santa cruz (exclude tevez)
spurs - crouch, palychenko, gudjohnsen (exclude defoe)

rafa always play kuyt at right, so we really only have ngog. by comparison, our backup is the worst. each "strong" team should have a reliable backup striker, one who can become a match winner when needed.

Liverpool - pacheco, ngog, Nemeth (exclude Torres)

no experienced at all.. we nid more experienced backup like chelski...
young or not lain citer

Yeah, but correct me if I'm wrong, they are not exactly lone striker teams as well. Chelsea pairs Drog with Anelka, United - Rooney with Berba, City - Tevez with Ade while Bellamy on the left. Well worse comes to worst we still have Babel and Nemeth. Not sure what you mean by match winner though as I don't really consider the backups you've listed as match winner. If anything, Kuyt and N'gog are as much a match winner as their counterparts.

But I agree with you that compared to our rivals (Save for Arsenal) we are short of out-and-out strikers. With Voronin off, it's safe to say we could expect a similarly priced striker coming in?

no jovanovic????...he's a left footed player..comfortable playing as a left winger or striker

i still doubt aquilani can play full match next season,, guess he can only play around 2x game per season

hope he has a good world cup because he is too vunerable to injury. if we are to make him a key player, we need someone who can be fit most of the time. if he have a good wc, then we can sell him for a better price

hope this happen and we can buy hamsik

Should I stay or should I go? Liverpool star Yossi Benayoun questions his Anfield future

aquilani should stay.

Yossi can leaves if he wants, IMHO. He has already delivered his role in Rafa's plans; the super-sub.

I'm still sticking to the idea that Rafa is trying to buy 2 of each, making variations of team A, Team B, Team C, option D, in the limited resources as he sees it.

In this case, Yossi can go, I think. He's served the purpose well, but of course we want a better Yossi that came on the pitch and won us games.

yossi should stay.
