we do.....to many of the old guard left-they are getting old, and as you said, are not the fastest (to put it kindly) and I really don't think we have enough quality to get 3rd place, and certainly not to win the EPL-we still have lots of catching up to do if we ever want to compete with chelki, arsenal, etc, much less with top European teams. IMO losing Gerrard would be a huge loss-he was always more important than Owen-you can always find a good striker, but to find someone like Gerrard is rare.

Henchoz is getting on now. I think he's 32, and it shows in how he plays. Carragher is as good an option for now, but equally a stopgap. They have to invest in a new defender this year.
Henchoz is a fantastic goalkeeper, I think he's still got a few years left in him :D

Henchoz is CRAP and I hope Rafa would get rid of him soon

;)

I remember speaking to some Arsenal fans after that FA Cup Final; I could almost see the steam coming out of their ears when they were talking about Henchoz's heroics :)

Man, there must have been six or seven incidents where he changed the course of a match with that over that season, including two cup finals. It was sickening to watch.

ok........not as well as we should be-lost to Bolton, which isn't exactly a great sign.
But We must give Rafa the time he needs to clean Houllier's mess..Honestly speaking..Don't expect much this season...Maybe We can win a Trophy or two.

it is! and you are right about it taking time to clean up this whole mess. I still think we need lots of new blood, so hopefully there will be more action in January ;) wat Houllier didn't seem to understand is that to be world class, you must have world class players, not just 2 or 3

I totally agree with you....Houllier made some POOR signings...Such as Djimi Traore, Jerzy Dudek and many more

Let's hope Rafa would learn the Lesson and buy some World-Class Players

Dudek isn't bad at all! he was one of the best for a while! now he's getting old, and he ain't what he used to be. but we have Kirkland as well, which is good.
yeah-Diao, and there are so many more! the people he signed were completely second class, and he often paid way too much for them

The papers are suggesting Benitez will go for Mista and Ayala in ?January. That'd be a big boost to the squad, I think, but it sounds like the usual newspaper transfer rumour b.s.

I may agree that Dudek WASN'T Bad But as You said he's getting Old and Crappy....I think We must depend on Kirkland from now on
