thats a good point.. I'd say Gerrard and Torres balance off the equation somehow and the fact that they went out and sold every holding midfielder they ever had and we seem to have 5 of them in our books... besides that i think they have better defenders, better wide players and better options upfront...
They have some very good players... just look at the players in their side who would get in our side... Sagna, Clichy, Gallas, Fabregas, any of their wide players, RVP or Adebayor or even Eduardo, Arshavin.... I'd give their side a season or 2 more and they WILL become a force to be reckoned with.. they deffo have the quality within their squad to become one of the best sides in world football yet again...
Back to Liverpool though... think despite all the fuss that the couple of good back to back results have caused we're still the same team with the same set of players who have obvious limitations that dont allow for such results to come on a consistent basis... its the same reason we missed out on the league this season (are going to, sorry for getting it wrong).. same reason we can go out and beat Madrid away and then lose 2-0 to Boro in a few days... have good days and bad days....
Until we add to the Torres-Gerrard, to a lesser extent Alonso spine we'll always struggle with the other players not performing when they should/ are expected to...
