The most baffling thing in that whole sad story (and it is sad), is that Liverpool took your money, and then proceeded to spend nearly all of it to buy - out of all possible options - Andy fucking Carroll.

I guess there is such a thing as bad karma.

...and none of that waste matters because: Suarez became one of the best strikers in the world, Rodgers and Sturridge went to Merseyside, Liverpool are getting CL football again next season. It all started with Chelsea giving Liverpool the money for Suarez. Personally, I blame Chelsea for LFC returning to a top 3 or top 4 club as much as crediting Brenden. January 2011 will live on for an eternity. Big mistake. Huge. Should have been just Chelsea and ManCity for the top of the Premier League in years to come. Since Jan. 2011, I've had a really difficult time enjoying CFC. Thankfully Drogba was still with us long enough (for CL title) and we've finally gotten a top center midfielder in Matić which was long overdue since Ballack and not the end of the story for long-deficient Chelsea center midfield.

Buying Suarez and a new CM in Jan. 2011 and spending 1 million p on a nutritionist and lifestyle coach for Josh McEachren would have been far better than El Niño roto.

I wouldn't go that far. TBH, I've always felt Lpool overachieved greatly this season because of the phenomenal form Suarez is in, their lack of European commitments and other factors. They won't be as strong in the coming seasons.

IDK, seems to me that if they get one star centre back, a good left back, some depth in center midfield and maybe one more player (like a good wing player) this summer, they could maintain their form). But, it's hard competing with PSG, Monaco, Madrid, Barca, Juve, Bayern, ManCity and Chelsea in the marketplace.

That is like saying if we get one good midfield, one good striker and one left back we are going to be better next season

Or saying if Manu get one more cb, one more left back, and one good midfield they are going to be hard to beat next season

Except that Chelsea and ManUtd don't already have the top scorers nor the fluency of passing the Liverpool have shown all season.

At the same time Liverpool don't have Chelsea's defensive solidity...

...which is the reason I mentioned buying two top defenders in my post above. gives them stability they've lacked, relieves pressure on the forwards during a season.

The context of the discussion is: Chelsea have given Liverpool money and a top player, which has given Liverpool a way back into the top four. LFC have taken advantage this year and only need four quality players to keep them going and push on for greater things in the CL--contingent upon Suarez staying of course. I don't think we would be talking about LFC today if we were the ones that bought the rising star from Ajax.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are still recovering from bad decisions January 2011 and with all the money spent, still don't have a top striker nor depth in center midfield. We'll see if Jose and CFC can fix this soon.

Unless they sign Thiago Silva, i can't see one player alone improving that defence.
Agger and Skrtel are good defenders and Sakho is a top prospects, it's more the system they play. Our defence that has been so good, apart from Azpi, all off them played under AVB when we couldn't stop conceding.

They have played most of the season without a good left back and they started with Kolo Toure a number of times while not having Leiva healthy. Hard to say who they might buy for a center back this summer, but I know that center back, left back and strength+depth in center mid will be a priority. Leiva hasn't stayed healthy for a while, so Henderson and Gerrard are the only two decent center midfielders. They might have too much to buy in the summer to have success with the fixtures they will take on next season.

Buying two defenders and a CM will greatly help LFC for next season. They will be playing more matches and they don't have the depth they need. Meanwhile at Chelsea, after spending far too much on Torres, Chelsea have two known starting CMs in Ramires and Matic and one unknown new guy in vanGinkel--and that's all.

Does it matter. You said if they got 3 good players that can fix your weakness they are going to be good. You can say the same thing for every team.

What more important is who you get and can they complement your team or not.

If Liverpool get Thiago Silva, Luke Shaw and vidal. They will be contender for both ucl n epl next season.

He had two teammates in front of him and didn't even think of passing. I'm done with him.

Never want to see him again.

He wouldn't even have needed to pass the ball. If he chose to simply put the ball to Speroni's right instead of doing a turnaround and then trying to lob the ball in (WTF!?) it would have been a sure goal.
