The title says it all, doesn't it...
Liverpool looked awfully too strong for Derby tonite. In fact this could be the strongest Liverpool team ever since the premiership started. I cannot remember such a balanced Liverpool team. Most of the times there were always something wrong here n there... sexy attractive footbal of Roy Evans era let down by comical defending.... or Houllier's superbly organized defence but lame attack.... or early Benitez era when the strikers get chance after chance but could not seem to find the net.
Well in Fernando Torres Benitez got the man who can get the job done and get the goals. This guy is strong, quick, clinical, hardworking and skillful.....could be the most complete striker in the premiership currently. Babel has looked sharp and full of ability albeit not looking gelling yet with the rest of the team. The two other new guys are not bad as well. So solid.... this is the best chance yet to win the league!!
Areas that I feel could be improved... could do with a new central defender. A backup might be sufficient right now, but since Hyppia and Carragher are already veterans... Benitez might want to get one for the longer term. I really like Micah Richards.... the thing with Liverpool defence is they are not quick and could be troubled by players like Drogba. With Micah Richards, you get Drogba in the form of a defender. A speedy winger would be welcome as well.
Also Liverpool IMO need to depend less on players such as Kuyt and Pennant. These two are not good enuf for me, just do not posess the quality to kill off games. Kuyt is such a frustrating player.... he could have scored a hattrick tonite but instead got none. These two players had always seem to play well and involved in a game.... but always do not produce the results. Whereas someone like Babel was anonymous the whole game tonite up to the moment he scored that wonderful goal.
