PATHETIC.

Yes, you heard it right. Liverpool's performance is PATHETIC and EMBARRASSING. Morientes and Cisse can't even produce a goal, with the match decider being a set-piece goal. Xabi Alonso is commandable though. Where's the "better, improved" squad Rafa was boasting pre-season. The 2 opening matches still shows that Liverpool is listless and restless as of last season. Liverpool need more creative, influential, energetic forwards - Cisse,Crouch,Sinama-Pongolle,Baros is not enough. Speaking about Baros, Liverpool should offload him, to Lyon preferred. Why? Don't put him in the Premiership cos' one day he might just bite your tail. As for Cisse, its wait-and-see. Bring Owen back is one thing, but the current squad still looks weak in other areas - Defense. The defenders are too old and slow, but Carragher is an exception. He's will become a Liverpool legend some day.

Anyhow, Owen may be a good addition to the attacking front - he's young but he has the experience of the 39-year-old Teddy Sheringham. He will become England's greatest, after Alan Shearer retires next year that is.

Liverpool is targetting the 30-year-old midfielder Solano of Villa, and i think it would be a great addition to a rather inexperienced mid-field. Zenden is erratic sometimes, while Gerrard is too egoistic. Sissoko needs more games. Riise - too slow. Xabi Alonso shines through, but that's just ONE player. Perhaps Rafa is being too cautious, fielding a 4-5-1 defensive formation, but if he wants cleansheets so much, he might just get them.

I hope Liverpool finish 3rd - after Chelsea and Arsenal - but it seems farfetch from here. Liverpool can become a great club again, if they scout better talents and offload some players under the Houllier's Era.

Owen please comeback.
