We've drawn a ****load of games this season and this has been our downfall and the reason why we're languishing in the Premiership behind the other three. We haven't been as solid at the back as in recent seasons (only Utd conceeded less and we've let in exactly the same number of goals as Chelsea), but we are still pretty defensively sound.
In Torres, we have an outstanding striker with better to hopefully come and we've actually scored more goals than Chelsea.
The question is what players would completely transform us into a more potent attacking outfit and the ability to turn these draws into three points?
(right winger/attacker)---Gerrard---Masch---(left winger/attacker)
------------------Torres----(striker/playmaker)------------------
The above formation is subject to change, as we all know Rafa likes to change things around depending on the opposition.
With regards to central midfield, Lucas has made a decent start to his Anfield career, while Xabi has lost his way slightly and could possiblly be off in the summer.
Personally don't think Kewell or Pennant are any way near good enough. Neither contribute in goals. Kewell has the talent, but unfortunately his injuries have got the better of him. Pennant, I've personally never rated.
Babel and Benayoun are better options, but neither look particulary comfortable on the flanks and are suited for more central positions. I've said this before, but I see something very special in Babel. We'll have to be patient with him though. Both provide us with a bigger goal threat when in the team.
We need better attacking full backs, but that's another discussion altogether.
