But Crouch has turned out to be one of the most valuable members of our squad lets hope the others turn out to be the same.So seven players in fifteen out, a lot of transformation to the squad at the moment.
The only game we have played well in up till now was against Chelsea if we are honest.
But it will all come good we done just enough against a very resilient Macabi Haifa, who had no intentions of coming out the blocks to play any football what so ever, they just tried to contain us and lucky enough for us even though we are not firing on all cillinders we managed to pull off what could have been a terrible banana skin.
Unfortunate injuries forced on us at the moment but would rather have them at the begining of the season than the end of it (touch wood).
And to be honest I am not happy with the stuttering start but in a way its better, because as soon as we beat Chelsea we where favourites to win the league.
And some fans went into overdrive but this is LFC and we never do anything simple, plus I prefer us being underdogs and doing things quietly cause its better when the media talk about someone else and let us get on with our business.
What tactics Rafa will have up his sleeve this season is anyones guess, and no one can certainly guess what team he will play.
Everyone talks about settled sides I agree to some extent, but then we go on and win bloody tropheys with all his chopping and changing so as long as we keep winning silverware who are we to complain?
The new boys will need some more time to settle in and we havent seen much of this Palletta fella yet to know if we can be confident enough in him giving Sammi or Jamie a rest.
Aurelio seems more of a wingback to me and our game against Newcastle away last season would give you some idea if Rafa has maybe this formation lined up sometimes again this season, Agger was excellent that day aswell, unfortunatly for him he has had some injuries so we havent seen his potential as such yet.
But attack from the back springs to mind like the Liverpool of old and I have a feeling that goal on saturday wont be his only one in a red jersey, I think this kid has a lot of potential and he can have a great future at LFC.
Most improved player Rafa has bought I would say Sissoko, boy did we miss him on saturday and we need him back for the derby to boss the midfield as Alonso doesnt seem himself at the moment and he is to classy when he's on form to be in the holding roll anyway he's not tough tackling and his miss timed tackles often end in him getting a yellow card for the wrong reasons as he is not your Robbie Savage is he?
He will regain his form no doubt and the best passer of the ball in the prem will be back for all to view in his glory.
Little Luis well he should be our highest scorer up to now
So frustrating misses the easy ones and then scores spectacular goals, a valuable member of the squad for Europe or to have on the bench when things arnt going our way, talking about the bench at last we have some quality on it something weve lacked for years now, we have the players on it to change a game, a bonus players that who will try and get into the starting eleven everyweek, and most importantly hungry players.
Players that have been at other clubs and never won a thing, well they have come to the right place LFC THE MOST SUCCESSFULL CLUB IN ENGLAND.
Player that we will miss this season: Didi Hamann.
Player to shine this season: Dirk Kuyt.
CMON U MIGHTY REDMEN.
