Just goes to show the value of a holding player to shield the back four. Lucas is on his richly-deserved hols at mo, & he's the only one we have who can do it properly. Having said that we should be doing better as the friendlies continue not worse. The defenders featured need to start getting their heads in the game. We'll see now if KK expedites the new defensive signings we need.

Do Liverpool Possess Enough ‘Magic’?
All teams need to find the balance between attack and defence. Perhaps it’s the most crucial equation in football. Formations are designed to meet both needs, with compactness a key when out of possession, and movement essential once in control of the ball.
The further up the table you are expected to be, the greater the need for a higher number of match-winners and magicians. The lower you go, the more likely you are to find a greater number of stoppers, with just a couple of lock-pickers. Occasionally you find players who excel at both sides of the game, and these are like gold dust. Right now, I’d say that Liverpool have at least three: Suarez, Gerrard and Agger, who are as creative as anyone else in their respective positions, but also work hard to win the ball. Perhaps Kuyt should be included, too.
There’s a lot of talk about formations, and they are obviously important. But they do not define how attacking a team is. To me, the vital aspect is how many attacking players you get into the team, whether they line up in the defence, midfield or up front........

So, if birmingham enter administration would you want to take their place in the europa league? personally, i wouldn't want that spot if we were in your situation.

No, Id rather not have it. Its not as if the revenue will make it worth it. And its too late to use that as a plus to sign players. At least we can focus all our attention next season on making it back into the top 4. Europa would only be a distraction. And also wouldnt like to have the label of only being in it because of another clubs financial problems
Europa is a waste of time for any team capable of hitting top 4.
Lots of early season mid week games, so unlikely to play many key players untill later on in it . Plus like Steve said, the revenue created by it isn't really worth it and it's a little late to help "use" european football as a way of helping us sign players.

Liverpool Newcastle Jose Enrique Kenny Dalglish waiting to make cut-price offer - Transfer News - MirrorFootball.co.uk
Jose Enrique for 5mil? Doesn't seem like a bad buy to me.

£5m ? Bull plop surely. However it wouldn't be the first time that Comolli has made a ludicrously low bid for a player if reports are to be believed.
No idea who this kid is but, according to Wiki he's scored 19 goals in 7 games for Mexico u-17's, that's insaaaane!
He's the "New Hernandez." Apparently.
Well he's going to be ****.. Not that a have anything against Hernandez it's just everytime some kid is dubbed the 'new' whatever they always turn out worse than Heskey.. Fingers crossed though!

Imagine somebody labelled the next Heskey then
Iv seen a few of his WC games, looks very promising, however im not going to pass judgement on him until his 20's
It said he has only scored 1 in 7.
