KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum we need 5 midfield players

comparing our crap midfield with the top teams its is quiet clear that we have no guile,no real pace, no power ,no skill and not enough numbers in the midfield area to compete.

gerrard( hardly ever plays- more or less semi-retired it looks like, and certainly not the force he was when he does play)

lucas- was brilliant before injury but even he probably lacks the quality need to be a top 4 centre midfield player.

adam- awful season, just too fat and slow..has a good pass on him, maybe if he sharpens up can contribute next season- doubt it

spearing- brave little jay tries to do all the right things but can't get there. will be sold i'd say

henderson - 20m was he, a joke. never does anything ever.

downing- 20m was he, a joke. never does anything ever.

kuyt- be leaving i'd imagine. very limited player on the right but he must be thinking am i actually worse than henderson.

maxi- leaving too. neat and tidy, no pace whatsoever and if he doesn't score he is invisible.

bellamy- another semi-retired type..good player but end of career time .

shevely- nice ideas but not quick enough for the prem for me.

if you compare that midfield to arsenals say. ramsey,diaby,song,wilshire,arteta,rosicky,benayoun,walcott,chamberlian,coquelin

now they have 8 or 9 midfield players they can choose from and all of them bring quality.. how can we compete when we have about 1 player on their level(Lucas)who was injured all season and a bunch of old age pensioners and crap to choose from.

fact is we can't and we need to buy about 5 or 6 midfield players to sustain a top 4 push. will fsg sponser this ?

So we need a whole new midfield?

I completely agree!

5 new midfielders, a new striker, a new defender and a new manager - going to be a busy summer!

We need 2 or 3 world class players to go along with Suarez and a (if fit) Gerrard. It's as simple as that.

We could say we need something all day, because the list is going to be long.

I remember not too long ago Torres saying we needed 4 more quality players.....and we got poulsen, konchesky, wilson & jones!

Dont think we need 5

Javi Martinez + Seydou Keita

And a striker

I agree we should strengthen our midfield primarily the right handside i dont think were any worse of than this lot ramsey,diaby,song,wilshire,arteta,rosicky,benayoun,walcott,chamberlian,coquelin
seen as about five of those are always injured plus id only take one in our fully strengthened midfield and thats walcott for the right and maybe wilshire but hes played like two games in the last year and a half the rest our okay but i think we could do better

You've got a ludicrously high opinion of our players, I'll give you that!!!

In reality, our midfield is probably about the 8th best in the country....

We could use 5 but in truth we only need 2 a dm and playmaker, unless we get rid of maxi and kuyt no need to get 5 players
