If Kenny Dalglish can’t turn us around? Who can? The fan momentum is currently there, the owners seem willing and the majority of the players are on board. Liverpool don’t need a massive overhaul. Dead wood can be shipped off, but large parts of the squad should remain intact, just to add depth. To truly throw our hat in the ring for the next five years and beyond, for both Champions League and Premier League contention, then Liverpool need real quality. It doesn’t have to be spectacular, but dependable.
At the moment, and it is hugely unfortunate, two of our most talented players are Agger and Aurelio and both players spend for too much time in the treatment room than on the pitch. While I think Aurelio should be let go in the summer, as was originally planned by Benitez, Agger should be retained.
But to get the best out of talented players who seem injury plagued, a team must have adept replacements. At the moment, Liverpool don’t have this. We have scrappers, fighters, and players with passion who throw themselves into tackles, but if we want to dominate teams, become the ‘Bastion of Invincibility’ as Shankly once dreamed, then our mission this summer should be to spend in the knowledge that Liverpool FC is only as strong as its weakest link.

As shown in January, the owners are willing to spend. And are not afraid to bring in big signings. They might actually pull of some massive signings. Coentrao, Adam Johnson, Young…
What a crock of S**t, “we only have players who throw themselves into tackles”? you haven’t a clue! most our players, in fact at least 70% of the squad is the best in Europe, just that 30% is what needs improvement. Our starting 11 when fully fit is a match for anyone, FACT!
Quality post!! Yes, I read your article in detail and when members of the first eleven are injured, your spot on, we don’t have have enough quality to call upon then!!! (the dog in street can see this)
All great teams require at least two quality players competing for each position. If progress continues with the same momentum I’d be very happy with a Champions League place next season.
Oh dear, ‘incredulous rise’ as opposed to incredible, ‘much demanded optimism’ as opposed to much-needed, but most blatantly ‘Hodgson’s chord was cut just in time’.
This would be like an umbilical cord, rather than Roy’s fledgling singing career, right?
This is either badly-written tripe, or deadwood, as opposed to ‘dead wood’!
I read the rumours on players linked and huge changes jn summer with Fenway not slow to spend big money. But a note of caution. Whilst changes are needed. The Fenway group don’t have a bottomless pit of money. The Suarez and Carrol deals were done on the back of the Torres and Babel sales. And the club who are debt free and not bound to loan repayments anymore generate around 30 million profit per year which is put aside for transfers. So unless we can bring more money into club the buys will reflect the amount we have in the kitty. So I am interested on who goes out as much as who comes in. And what news on stadium plans. We need to fill a 60 million stadium and generate more money.
“And what news on stadium plans. We need to fill a 60 million stadium and generate more money”.
Julian we will need to build a bl**dy big stadium to get 60 million fans in
Very good – Ha! Ha! – funny man
