Bro Tata,
i disagree with u.. people say "you are only as strong as your weakest link" and Liverpool's weakest link is the bench players, due to financial constraints, we have not been able to keep decent players to stay on the bench to be called when the first choice players are injured or unavailable.
the thing is, Liverpool, when every first team players are fit, is a VERY STRONG team, capable of winning any match, even against Chelsea/Barcelona/Man U.. but when the first team are down.. thats when the problem kicks in.. our reserves are not capable to deputise the senior.. some fans will finger point to Benitez for not being able to keep decent bench players and will comment like should keep Keane as back up.. but Keane's wage is probably in the range of 80k-100k per week? given Liverpool's budget, can we afford?
look at Liverpool line up, how lean the squad? most of the time the first team players have to play in different position, simply because the reserve arent capable to step up. Mascherano have to play in right back position in so many games this season. Agger have to play on left back on occassion. Kuyt playing as right wing until Maxi came.
and as i mentioned in my prev post.. sometimes, our young players have to play whether they are ready or not.. especially Lucas. i again asked brothers out there, when Gerrard/Aquilani out injured. who to play in CM with Mascherano? Lucas or Plessis or Spearing?? i know some will comment, shouldnt sell Alonso or shouldnt buy Aquilani.. but given the current football world. which decent CM can u buy for 8-10 million? anyway, buy 8-10 million, confirm also will kena shot and fark upsize down for spending money unwisely..
as another brother said, it is easy to finger point and blame RB.. but can brothers out there give more constructive comment?? u want to shoot Lucas, can, then tell me who to play along Mascherano, Gerrard? fans who watch Liverpool match often knows that when we play Gerrard in CM, and when he attacked, the defence will sure prone to counter attack from opponent de. thats why RB pair Lucas with Macherano, to cover the slow Carra and Agger.. if u think he too passive, then suggest how you will play Liverpool as Manager.. what formation to use? 4-4-2? 4-3-3? suggest ur first team player, and possible bench players, too.
and dont fantasize and said, ai yah.. RB should buy this guy that guy.. cos Liverpool is BROKE. aka. no money. anyhow, without financial injections, Liverpool are doomed to sell their stars.. and start to cut budget, keep the squad lean, and fighting for survival rather than trophies.. i blame all these on the Yanks, who load the debts on top the club, against their words of using their own dollars to buy the club!!! TMD!!!
lastly.. if u are NOT a reds' fans.. dont come here pretending that you are.. u guys have another thread just to make fun of Liverpool already.. here:

anyway, looking forward to how things unfold in the next months.. and to those who wish to see RB go.. well, mayb you guys will have your wish come true.. but as they say "beware of what you wish for.." and in chinese "bu yao shi qi le, cai lai hou hui.." (dont come and regret after u lost it..)
cheers,
Shy
