The squad IS wafer thin. I'd say that at least eight other Premiership teams have a better bench.
When you're subbing players in like Vorinin, Degen and N'gog, you're not going to be in the running for anything. Liverpool have two great players - Torres and Gerrard - and not much else. Glen Johnson couldn't cut it at Chelsea, Carragher looks old and slow, Alonso jumped ship as soon as he could, and they have probably the worst manager in the Premiership "rotating" players in and out, killing any kind of fluidity and form the team might find. Benayoun is good enough to play on any team but so often ends up subbed or not even in the game!
The American owners are killing the club. Benitez should have gotten the sack months ago but they are too cheap to pay him off and bring in someone who can command the team properly.
