Liverpool, above all else, need to either tell Benitez to fuck off, or to point out to him that never in the last 20 years has there been a successful team who play with the same formation no matter who is in the squad. If we don't have wingers, don't play with a team designed for them. Gerrard and Torres work great together, but when one of them is injured, don't expect N'Gog to be able to do Torres' job or Dirk Kuyt to do Gerrard's and change the fucking formation.
As for players, they definitely need another striker, having replaced Bellamy, Crouch and Keane (Top flight goals this season: 23) with David N'Gog (Top flight goals this season: 5). They still need a winger, and have done since Steve McManaman left. Defensively, they shouldn't be that bad. Kyriagos is fucking attrocious and they need cover at full back, but that's it. If we get the Danish guy everyone wants, then all should be good there.
Mascherano is brilliant, but Lucas needs to go, and while the jury is out on Aquilani, Scott Parker is better and English, and with the state West "we can buy the Olympic Stadium" Ham is in, would probably come quite cheap. I will not understand until the day I die why Liverpool didn't buy Adam Johnson. Me and my mates had a convorsation about buying him about 3 years ago, when he couldn't get in the Boro team.
If Liverpool had kept Alonso and Arbeloa and bought Darren Bent instead of Glen Johnson and Aquillani, they probably would have won the league this season.
