is rafa's priority still a centreback?

Carheex, are you criticising the players we have or the tactics Rafa employs?

I have no real bones to pick with the one-man up against Wigan, but only if Gerrard can do a proper job of being a support striker or whatever you want to call him playing between the lines. In my mind he cant, whereas someone like Garcia could.

What baffled me last night is Pennant floating crosses to the far post with only torres in there or no one in there at all. If the idea is for Gerrard to be breaking into the box from deep then get to the by-line and pull the ball back. Either the tactics were poor or the execution was poor.

I agree with you that the strikeforce needs to be shaken up and we need to get a quality player in. I'd say sell two strikers (Crouch and Kuyt), use Babel as a forward and put the money towards a top class winger who can get crosses in, beat a man, and be a goal threat (if such a player exists and/or is available).

Why ever not? at home to a vastly inferior side, we should not be playing so cautiously.
And for the record, forget about selling Crouch - it simply ain't gonna happen. I advised of this many months ago and have put my own reputation (and tranny virginity) on the line...
