Well if you going to try and get 1st or even 2nd your going to need much more then a Left mid i am a liverpool fan like you and i think your going to need to buy the following
Left Mid - Afellay,Young,Marqinhos ( spelling )
Right Mid -Afellay,Beckham,Vuckivic(Spelling)
CM- Veloso,Moutinho,
Striker-Love,Crouch,Cardozo,Artem
You will need a player for each of them positions really also what you could do is sell gerrard you can get £60m for him madrid always pay that and then you just buy Moutinho Or Veloso or both to replace him which is what i do sometimes and it works
Anyway good luck
