Get rid of carroll and replace him with no one!
Well done Liverpool

To be fair that's still an upgrade.
It'd be hilarious if Suarez gets injured.
Yeah I know.
Wait, are you speaking in relation to Liverpool's strength in depth or generally?
Downing can play as a false 9 like Messi does for Barca. He's made for the role.
They've still got three forwards. Well, kindda.

The cnut that he is, i prefer seeing him fluff chances every week and act the moron.
So far on the four signings of shite (Carroll, Henderson, Downing and Adam), how much have they lost?
I sometimes wonder if King Kenny is a United fan after all.
I had this conversation with my mate Ben, a Liverpool fan last night. What the feck was Kenny Dalglish playing at? The man's an absolute moron signing the shite he did for the prices he paid, I can't get my head around it; how can a manager act like such an absolute moron in the transfer market?
Ah, but who says he was acting cider?
Anyway, I wouldn't laugh too soon, they still have the option of signing Owen.

Don't forget Comolli.
They got rid of Carroll, Adam and Spearing. That's probably the best transfer activity of any club all Summer

Dalglish's has been out from the game for too long. The EPL had evolved greatly in the past years and the pool of players that can actually do well in the EPL had gone bigger. Spending nearly all the dosh on overpriced EPL based players is pure madness.
I think Liverpool have a good defence, a good central midfield but shocking wingers and two strikers, neither of which are natural goalscorers. Absolutely zero chance of CL football next year.
He is certainly excellent at playing a false winger.
Stewart Downing - False Footballer
Maybe they can bring Rush out of retirement
Don't they have Joe Cole back? I'd use him. I have it on good authority he's better than Messi.
Pretty sure he's injured, if not give it a week, he'll break his leg eating a sandwich.
Wow and to believe Benitez gets so much stick around here, at least back then they were near the top of the league and had decent players. The Liverpool of today is a total shambles.
Unless they change from a football to a golf ball.
They had a good side in 08/09 and that was there chance to win the league. The next year Rafa guided them to 7th. Their downfall began under Rafa. Kenny took it to hilarious (but in some cases sad), unimaginable heights (or lows), both on and off the pitch.
They have 6-7 very good first-team players...but no backup for them
I agree that Benitez gets too much stick on here, but he's at least partially responsible for their downfall. He pissed off Alonso in 2008 by trying to get rid of him for Gareth Barry, Alonso walked a year later after a brilliant season, Benitez replaced him with a crock in Aquilani, they were knocked out of the CL in the group stage and finished 7th.
If that includes Reina and maybe even gerrard I would say its even less. Even the like of Skrtel,Agger,Lucas,Johnson are over hyped.
Not saying they are world-class but they are very good...
I was ridiculed for ages on here for defending Benitez. I said at the time that he was a better manager than anyone they would try and replace him with. There's no real point to this post, I merely want to highlight that I'm occasionally right about things.
Benitez's transfer policy was even worse. He just bought utter dross. At least Liverpool have saved money on these wages, and can properly strengthen next season with the money they've saved. Put it this way, will Liverpool get European football next season? Yes. Would they had they kept Carroll and co? Yes.
It's not as bad as they're making out.

I like how they were hyping up Borini lol, a player who couldn't cut it at Chelsea and only scored 9 goals in Serie A...
£10m for him is a waste as well so looks like Rodgers is little better.

TBH it doesn't take much to perform better than Hodgsson and Dalglish have done recently for the Dippers
How can you even say that knowing he brought in players like Alonso, Torres, Mascherano, Arbeloa, Pepe Reina, Skrtel, Agger to name a few.
Agreed he's bought some dreadful players too but which manager doesn't? Let's take Morientes for example. Benitez gets slated for him being a flop in England which is a bit of a joke really. I know for certain most teams would have creamed themselves if they would have signed him after his impressive passage at Monaco. That is the beauty of hindsight.
If you can't see the difference in class they had back then compared to what they have now... Their team is a shambles and I don't see them ending in the top 7 this season. Benitez isn't as bad a coach as he is made out to be here. It's just because of his little written rant against Ferguson that most can't stomach him, that's all.
@vato: the list of dreadful players Benitez (in terms of numbers) more than compensates the few good he brought.We're talking about some absolutely terrible footballers back then
Kenny messed up so bad that he is making Benitez look alright in hindsight..
that takes some doing.
that takes some doing.
Kenny Dalglish was there a year or so and got two in (Suarez and Enrique). It's not that hard to have a few hits when you spend three hundred million gross, or whatever it was that the fatman spent.
The waiter spent more money than Fergie did over the same period of time and didn't achieve half the success.
Manager Brendan Rodgers welcomes Liverpool's latest signing
With the only difference that you've already had a succesful team and Liverpool didn't come close to winning it for the past two decades.
