you really think so? I am yet to be convinced by him to be honest, he's a decent player, but he has no business starting for a team like Liverpool, he'd make a good squad player though. Are you telling me, your ok with Arbeloa being your starting rightback.

They've tried him on the right wing, and he's been pretty average there. He himself said he doesn't fancy playing on the wing. right back? tell me your not serious :D

But where would Gerrard fit in such a formation?

First, it was always obvious Berbatov was a special player, the guy's technique is unquestionable, and he is one of the top frontmen in the EPL if you ask me. Second, i disagree about Kuyt, i think he has been consistent for Liverpool this season, he's having a fairly good season imo, scoring...

That is an interesting point, because the biggest reason they use the 4-4-1-1 is because it suits Gerrard very much. But when Gerrard was out injured they did go with an orthodox 4-4-2 a couple of times, they had Kuyt and Keane upfront a few times i remember, and still Keane didn't do too well.

Keane is a better player than Bellamy, i didn't say he wasn't. I brought up the Bellamy example, to show how players who excel in small clubs do not neccesarily cut it at the top teams. Rafa has been rotating and changing tactics since he came to Liverpool, but beggning from the second half...

thats only your loss ;)

Kromkamp and N'Gog also come to mind.

The transfer budget has always been Rafa's excuse. But managers like Arsene Wenger have been forced to work with a much tighter transfer budget and have done a much better job. Imo there's no excuse for the type of signings he regularly makes, its not of his weak spots if you ask me. Nunez...

Who would just be another Jermaine Pennant. Why does Rafa love signing mediocre players? :confused:

Of course i know, he even played his debut against Newcastle i believe.

Where did i say he was at West Ham right now?

Ya, James Beattie made it at Southampton, Bellamy made it at Blackburn and West Ham, why don't you go for them instead. Keane is a decent player, but it would make no sense to sign him, as signing a player especially if its for the fee Keane would probably cost, should be made to add to the...

I do not think Keane would be a good signing at all. Bellamy was great for the Blackburn's, Newcastle's and West Ham's of the world, but he too is just a uefa cup team player at best. Thats what i think Keane is. You can't just throw all the blame on Rafa, he gave him an extended period of...
