    Shows the lack of good right backs we had since the Prem started if they picked Marcus Babbel.

    You need to stop reading that paper, it would be better for you..and all of us.

  5. Swap Babbel for Finnan, Rise for Arbeloa and Fowler for Torres and it's about there.

    Well....

    First off in the prem I can out the seasons we played 442 on one finger.

    352 under evans
    451 under houllier
    4231 under rafa
    It was hodgson and keen that tried that

    As a line up I would say

    Babble is no way. Finnan was there longer and did better

    Mcmanaman is really the impondrables for me. He could dribble but the ****er was **** at shooting and ran down blind alleys.

    Fowler when young was awesome. I think the fact torres left badly means the paper left him out is all.

    Reina
    Arbeloa Carragher Hyypia Riise
    Gerrard Mascherano Alonso McManaman
    Suarez Torres​

    Looking back on that midfield 3 of gerrard,alonso and mascherano it's a shame you guys didn't win more with them that midfield rivals the the invincibles midfield and the Keane Scholes combo

    well that says rafa just needed 2 players to make his team complete. the problem was he had an effective guy in kuyt and always lacked that winger so rieira and others were bought.

    but the issue was lack of depth.. gerrard and torres injured.. lfc fall off cliff.

    I think Rafa just needed 1 more player with some flair. Some one like David Silva. He also needed better squad depth.

  11. One of the many players he tried to sign but was prevented from doing so :(

    Yes for first team anyone to play that role that benayoun ended up in for 4.5mil

    Squad depth in effect should have been torres and for 20 Mil rafa should have had his pick of foreign forwards

    Ie keane stupidity

    How bad are the defensive options if Skrtel is getting on the bench <yikes>

    Back 5 and midfield 3 pretty much pick itself in

    Reina
    Finnan
    Carra
    Hyypia
    Riise
    Masch
    Alonso
    Gerrard

    its then how and if you fit Suarez,Torres and Fowler as a front 3

    Problem is fowler Suarez Torres all play best centrally, while Suarez is he only one that could do a decent job from out wide.

    In terms of individuals those 3 are the best, but in terms of a team, maybe not.
