5 man midfield....unacceptable! It makes it too crowded to move the ball through the midfield successfully. Torres is good enough to play alone up top but if he's hurt what happens NGog? NGog actually has shown some skill this season but still it's just not a system Liverpool will have success with mainly because guys like Aurelio and Johnson like to move up the field and are successful doing that, having 7 guys crowded in the midfield will just be a clusterfuck. Also if we're only playing 1 striker we won't need to spend any money on another striker, it just makes no sense

Here's what I think we need: #1 a solid starting striker that compliments Torres #2 Aquilani to play on a side and not in the middle #3 Maybe a top teir CB because Carragher's form has slipped a bit.

ST: Torres, (someone good)
CAM: Gerrard
LM/RM: Beyanoun, Aquilani
CDM: Mascherano
LB: Aurelio CB: Carragher, Skrtel RB: Johnson
GK: Riena

If all else fails use Kuyt up top with Torres but we just can't allow Gerrard to play striker and we can't have 5 guys in the midfield. With Johnson and Aurelio moving up to help with attack Aquilani can go more to the center of the pitch if he does better there....that's just my view of the situation.
