I support spurs, I was born in London (only lived there till I was 2 but most of my family still does) so I don't hate Liverpool at all. in fact of the sky sports top 4 I have always cheered for them in the Champions League etc.
So I am trying to come at this with no bias. Liverpool's problem is at this point they have 2 great players (obvious), 1 very good player (Maschereno), 1 very hard working player (Kuyt), 1 very good goalie, an average back 4 and no depth after that
And in my mind it falls completely on Rafa for his failed buys. Lucas, Babel, Keane, Aquilani (so far) etc.
They don't have the depth of any of the top 5 teams at this point and it holds them back whenever Gerrard or Torres are out or just having a bad game.
They need at least 2 more solid attacking options (Maxi Rodriguez was a very good cheap buy with some decent upside) but they need more than that.
