I was with you every step until you mentioned Carrol
I totally agree with opsmonkey. His argument about Rafa is right on the money. His point about the cl final we lost to Milan was again right on the money. Who here that was watching that final were thinking what the ~~~~ was Rafa doing. Me personally wanted Rafa fired after that game. So what now if he got fired from Inter Milan he is not coming back. I believe Roy will be fired after the winter break if the team don't improve. Right now without Gerrard playing and Carra out for a while he don't have much to choose on the bench. Oh by the way Crouch 's lefty nut can play better football than Ngog anyday. I hated when Rafa let him go. He might not have pace but he knows how to score and is a playmaker. Having a striker that has those two abilities is hard to find. I like Crouch and wouldn't mine him back but would rather Have Carrol up their with Torres

I think Carrol would be a good fit i know he's a bit of an ass but if Liverpool was going to sign a striker i would want Benzema over anyone else cause he could play down the left too.
The trouble is, is that previous buys were done so to fill a gap, never by the quality, just the position.. Benitez bought some right shite in bulk on the cheap instead of investing where it was needed.. 3 players worth ?4m when one for ?12 would have produced more.. Buying shite like Carrol would just carry this on.... We need another striker, but it's best to buy a decent one than stop gap with some shite
How can Top Flight League like the EPL Have teams that don't have an underground heating system to play in the EPL? In Germany you can't play Top Flight if the pitch don't have a heating system. I'm starting to get withdrawals over the game cancellations. Now i have to be tortured watching the Manu game hoping Sutherland will beat them
The Europa Leage isn't a losers cup, it's still well renowned.. Granted it's not the Champions League but it's still a major trophy.. I'd rather win that than the Carling Cup or even the FA Cup.. Everything is secondary to the Premier League and Champions League these days
exactly, thats why for me winning the league does not mean as much as it did years ago before the cl started. you can finish 4th now and win the cl. you could win the league, finish 3rd in cl group stage and win europa league cup....
dont get me wrong, i am desperate for us to win the league again but for me it will never be the same as it was years ago.. but you could say the same for the e/cup/ cl. in 1977 and 1978 we played 9 and 7 games to win the e/cup. how many did we play in 2005 and 2007?? but we did play "champions" in the "old" days. however the old uefa cup was almost as hard as the c/l nowadays. think it was the 1976 team, had to play 3 german sides to win it... and it was a 2 legged final...happy days....
YNWA..
I called it that cause that what Franz Beckenbauer called it When it was the UEFA Cup and Bayern Munich was playing in it. Tell me this do you see the line up he plays when we are playing in it. No team in Europe that in the class Liverpool are in take that competition serious until they reach the semis then they play their regulators. Don't get me wrong i would be happy they win it and i think it's Liverpool best chance to play in the CL next year since i think we will Finnish somewhere between 7th and 5th place in the league
Sorry i was wrong about winning Europa would get you in the CL. It's make sense now why they play second string players in it. The Germans know everything about Football and Beckenbauer is one of the greatest if not the best Footballer of all time so i could trust what he says.
