Liverpool

[smasher]

Yesterday's game showed that RB doesn;t have faith in the players he bought. Villa are no great shakes and they played a defensive system against them. Mind boggling.

Liverpool performance v Aston Villa on Sunday was one of the most infuriating, inept and tactically unimaginative performances I have ever witnessed from them. What is the point in buying Rieira if Benitez will not play him? Dossena was rubbish.
Benitez was cowardly in his approach to the game against a Villa side who were there for the taking.

If I was a liverpool fan (god forbid) i'd by dying to see the back of Benitez..... they are by far the worst team to watch in the premiership. The tactics Benitez employ's are dumbfounding.... The Dirk right-wing. Keane in left-wing. Why buy strikers only to play them out of position?? Then a moment comes where you think he will be forced to make the right changes in Torres getting injured. Put your new proven 20+ goals a season stirker in the middle where he naturally plays?..... ok.. bring on a 10million quid, highly rated by Arsene Wenger, dutch international then?? no... he brings on a kid, who nobody's ever heard of, with only 18 senior appearances and 1 goal in the f**king french league!!!!!!

Thank god I hate the pool... or I might be burdened with a slight feeling of sympathy for fans who have to put up with that clown.

Liverpool need two new full backs and two class wingers to compete for the PL title. Fortunately Benitez hasn't noticed this yet and the drought will continue. They have no width whatsoever, everything goes through the middle and bar the odd flash of genius from Torres they offer very little in an attacking sense. Benitez is on borrowed time. Robbie Keane on the wing?

They need 2 good full backs, 2 wingers and a centre half just to get a good first team never mind one that can compete for PL.

Agree with all that bar the centre half bit. For me Agger and Skrtel are 2 that are more than good enough although we haven't seen them together as a partnership yet. Individually though I've been very impressed with both.

I'd have both of them as the first choice pairing with Carragher as back up. Not bad in most people's books surely? Carragher has his limitations but his desire and appetite make up for most of them. He's one of the few players about that's drawn every last ounce out of what ability he has.

I forgot about Skrtel in fairness. Looks to be very decent. I think Agger is top class

Agree with that. He's one of those players who wouldn't be any use with, say, Newcastle or Tottenham but obviously would die for Liverpool. Every club needs players like him (if only in the squad)
