Kaunas 1 Liverpool 3

A couple of thoughts after watching the last 2 CL qualifiers and the Olympiakos friendly match. Defence We need a CB quick!!! Our defense is horrible! We actually let Olympiakos scored 3 past us. And the defence against Kaunas was woeful. There were a few offsides wrongly given and many times Josemi played the opponents onside. We could have been embarrased if Kaunas have more prolific strikers. Gosh~ can someone show Josemi what a straight line is??? Sami Hyypia has truely past his prime. He looked dodgy at times, mistimed a few tackles and is very very slow to get back to position. I'm really very very worried about our defence. With Milito signing a new contract with Real, Upson happy to stay at Birmingham and Whitbread's lack of experience, we seem to be heading nowhere in getting a new CB to replace Hyypia. Carra is working very hard to hold the defence together and with 70+ matches to go, i seriously hope his stamina can last for the entire season. And Josemi...why is this man still in the team whereas Nunez is being sold to Celta?! Our right side looked so vulnerable last night. I pray Finnan's case can end quickly and we can have him back on the Right back. Midfield We have a sound midfield with Gerrard and Alonso in command. Zenden looked good and he pumps loads of crosses during the match. Sissoko... i'm beginning to love this guy! Thank god he did not end up as a bluenose! Now i understand why Rafa say he'll be the next Vieira. The most unbelievable thingy is he's only 20yrs old. We have indeed found a gem! Our right side looks very weak. Potter has improved no doubt but we truely need a better player there. Lets move on to look for another right winger instead of waiting for Luis- it's my dream to play for Liverpool- but my wife prefers Milan- oops i think i'll stay at Madrid - Figo? This man is a complete waste of Rafa's time! From what i see, i think he's just a money-grabber. Very disappointing. Strikeforce For once i change my mind about Milan Baros. He had certainly impressed me in the Olympiakos match. He is no longer a headless chicken! He acutally looked for Morientes and passed the ball to him! I don't want him to go to Aston Villa. With Morientes not performing, Cisse missing tonnes of opportunites and Crouch tightly marked in every game, i see Baros as our source of goals this season. And please don't include Anthony Le Tallac as one of our main striker... this man is a joke in front of goal. Unless we sign another goal scoring machine, i don't wish to see Baros being sold to any club!
