This argument is really disturbing because this is not something that Rafa can control as Alonso is injured again (hopefully back for Mancs on 15/12/2007 at anfield).
But everyone is forgetting how Kewell (fit again, but divides opinion), Gerrard, (poor 12 months but possibly playing well for team again after Sunday), Kuyt (in my opinion for the past year very overrated), and Benayoun (who frustrates me, sometimes he is like Pele and the next like Cheyrou).
This of course is easy to solve and that is with strong and ruthless management (which Rafa has been good at), So we play 4-3-3, tell Carra to pull his finger out instead of conceding Phantom penalties every week, get Agger fit asap, play Riise and Finnan as attacking full backs, then Lucas/Mascherano and Gerrard/Mascherano in Midfield with Gerrard/Benayoun/Voronin playing in front of them, and 3 up front-Babel,Crouch/Kuyt, Kewell/Kuyt
Like So:-
Reina
Finnan Agger Carragher Riise
Lucas Mascherano
Gerrard©
Kewell Babel
Crouch
Some may recognise it from 2005/2006 When Alonso-Sissoko anchored and Cisse played in Babel's position.
This can cover the lack of pace until Torres is fully fit.
