    This is what a weakened #LFC team (with 9 changes) looked like in Europe less than 4 years ago. How times change
    Dan Kennett ‏@DanKennett
    PSV 1 #LFC 3 9/12/08: Cavalieri; Arbeloa, Dossena, Carra, Agger; Babel, Lucas,Masch, Riera; Keane, Ngog (subs used Kelly, Spearing, Darby)
    Although there are at least 6 or 7 first choice starters in that team, versus 1 or at a push 2 in todays line up.

      I don't think so, theres about 6 or 7 players in that side that wouldn't have been first teamers at the time.

      Our squad is dire.
      The times they are a changin'.

        Arbeloa, Carra, Agger, Masch, Riera all 1 st choice starters at the time. Dossena, Babel, Lucas & Keane all featured regularly too. Not really comparable with today's team.

          I see it as more of a 532

          Flanagan Wisdom Coates Carra Downing
          ......................Coady
          .........Shelvey.............Henderson
          ....................Cole
          .......................Morgan
          If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

            Not first teamers though.

            I think the point was comparing squad depth.

            Rafa made those changes at that time and the team still looked strong, wheras i we make 7 changes now we look very weak.

                I'd imagine the ITV4 site is the best option for most on here though.

                    No youth teamers either though.

                    You need to see the previous team which was against Blackburn for context. Basically Rafa split the deck between the 2 matches, giving equal importance to the Prem and Champs League. Whereas Rodgers went full strength in the PL game and then shadow squad for this one.

                    Not arguing that the 2008 squad was far stronger but also no denying that Rafa's team was far far closer to full strength than today's one is.
