    Do we have a good enough squad to win the league?

    I don't think we have that. We are missing out on the wings and in our central defense. We have two excellent central defenders but that's about it, no good enough cover.

    On the wings we have Pennant, Benayoun, Babel and Stevie as options on the right. Benayoun, Stevie and Babel isn't wingers. That leaves Pennant.

    He isn't good enough for a team that is fighting for the title.

    On the left we have Riise, Aurelio, Leto, Kewell and Babel.

    Riise isn't good enough, Aurelio is a wing back, Leto is still adapting, Kewell is injured and Babel isn't a winger.

    That leaves Riise and Aurelio as our best options. Not any good is it?

    We are also missing a player to play behind Torres. Kuyt, Voronin and Crouch isn't good or creative enough for a title chasing side.


    Rafa need to sell a few players in January that we don't really need.

    Sissoko, Riise and Crouch can be sold without any replacement brought in. We have enough players to cover in the positions they play in.

    Pennant and Hyypia can be sold but we would then need to sign replacements for them.

    In short, we need a second striker, a right midfielder(winger), a central defender and a left sided midfielder(winger).

    Then we will have a squad that can win the title.

    IMO of course.
    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

    Well Rafa probably thought we had a good enough squad but it seems the players are trying to disprove that.

        Selling 5 players and bringing 4 in half-way through the season means we have given up on the season and are preparing for the next.

        By the way, your use of the word "isn't" is often incorrect. The word you are looking for when dealing in the plural is "aren't".

          I didn't say that we need to buy all the players we need in January. Just that we need better players in the positions they play in.

          Just signing maybe two new players can be enough to cover the holes in the squad this season. The rest of them can be signed in the summer.

              I dont think we do.We have a mixture of top class players and average players.Our backline is great but could do with strengtening.
              7players have played left wing at times this year and that tells you we dont have a player good enough to hold down that position.
              We are getting very little from the right and up front we need 2new strikers.

              It wont be until a few of these average players leave and better players come in and replace them,that people realise how poor they were.
              Oh the man is a midfield maestro
              and his passes are sooo delightful

                  Sadly Rafa wants to use his whole squad as much as possible.

                  That means Average players like Leto, Voronin,Benayoun and crouch(usually) will start far too many games

                  No we wont win the league. Thats been found out over the last 3 weeks

                      Chelsea,Arsenal and the Mancs.Take off the rose coloured glasses.
                      We have 2players for every position but some of them are just poor.
                      I'm not the only person to believe this.

                        In a word: quite possibly.

                          Oh and another thing. I said after the Carling Cup game that we should have rested our best players for these champions league and premiership games.

                          Well Carragher's tired look last night proved that i was right. He was not fresh, Rafa gave up 3 points in the Champions league for a measly carling cup. And this is just on one occation

                          I am developing serious doubts over Rafa's judgement at times

                            That's two words.

                              With heavy rotation: NO, obvioulsy not.

                              Riise isn't good enough to warrant a place in the starting XI
                              Voronin lacks consistency doens't he?
                              Crouch isn't good enough to warrant a place in the starting XI
                              Fabio isn't good enough to warrant a place in the starting XI
                              Momo isn't good enough to warrant a place in the squad
                              Sami is gone next summer and isn't good enough to warrant a place in the starting XI
                              Kewell is always injured and will be gone next window I hope.
                              Leto is too young inexperienced to warrant a place in the starting XI
                              Babel looks about the same.
                              Pennant is a nifty little player with a decent assist rate but is he good enough to be in the starting XI? Could/should we expect more than 1 goal a season from RM? Squadplayer at best.

                              We need a class act at LB. We need two class wingers (Right and left). We need a worldclass striker to compliment Torres. We need a good CB as cover. We need to think about RB. Finnan isn't getting younger. Is Arbeloa the right man for RB? Is he really good enough?

                              I don't know who came up with the bollocks that we had the strongest squad in the PL.

                              With a rotation happy manager the strength of the squad is crucial. This squad isn't good enough for heavy rotation. I said so since the get go.

                              Come May you will see what I mean. Some might be able to see it already.
