We had £60million worth of player on the bench on Saturday
(Carroll, Henderson & Adam)
A lot of expensive flops that we are going to be stuck with for the forseeable future.
Does that answer your question?
Not to me. It's Brendan Rodgers who did not play them and we lost, so not sure if it was a good idea to leave them on the bench. I agree that we paid too much for Andy C, but what was the other option when Torres left 20 mins before that the transfer window shut. I understood that we tried Llorente who did not want to come and with the policy of buying young players with sell on value who was the striker we could get then? May be Sturridge who just started to play in Chelsea's first team. We could have left it and buy in the next window, but what would we have said with Torres gone and nobody bought to replace him? I watch almost all LFC games of any season (Premiership, FA Cup, League cup, friendlies very often, you name it)and one of the players who impressed me the most was Caroll when we got beat 3-1 at Newcastle with him scoring the 3rd goal from 15-20 yards outside the box. Also, he was the best England player when he was selected by Capello to play against France, remember? Agree he has shown only glimpses of this last year, but, he was injured for a long time and had to adjust. How good was 50m Torres last year? Who has scored the most in our games so far (including friendlies)? Talking about Henderson, he is in the England squad for god's sake, he cannot be that bad.
