Liverpool would struggle to finish Top 4 without Gerrard and Torres

Posted by Cathal Breathnach on Thursday, January 03, 2008 at 6:28 p.m.

This may be obvious to most of you but I have to have my say on this. Many pundits and fans have been saying in recent weeks that Liverpool are not the same force without Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard and I tend to agree with that.

The pair have been responsible for more than half of Liverpool's 32 goals this season and I feel if either of them pick up an injury between now and the end of the season, they may struggle to qualify for the Champions League.

Torres has been awesome since joining the Reds, scoring an impressive 16 goals. Gerrard as we all know is the captain and the driving force behind the Liverpool side. So the question is, do you agree or disagree.

    Man Utd would struggle to finish in the top 4 without Ronaldo and Ferdinand.

    Arsenal ditto without Fabregas and Hleb

    Chelsea would probably not.

    So what your saying is that Liverpool would not be as good without their two best players... Someone give this man a medal!

    Well done mate, you win the Brainiac award for the most obvious comment so far this year. Take any two top players out of any team and they will struggle.

    Thing is though, you can't predict what would happen if they did both get injured. Would Babel then come to the fore, and Xabi or Lucas bang them in coming late into the box. You can't say can you.

    Take your medal and concentrate on more insightful comments. I'm surprised no one has written anything criticising these new amercian owners - still no new stadium, lack of funds, talk of Rafa getting the boot for a motivational team coach (one without any experience!)...... surely these are all valid points to be followed up.

    Maybe I'm being a bit thick, but didn't Liverpool finish in the top 4 last year without Torres?

    That is incredibly stupid. It's a pity inane rubbish like this appears on newsnow, it's not news, it's not interesting, it has no value at all.

    I imagine you'll get some smug satisfaction thinking that you're getting a reaction from a few people. I wonder if you realise how idiotic you appear to be?

    Don't know why I'm bothering responding to your blog, but I'm waiting for my microwave meal to cook. It's beef lasange. My microwave has just dinged! Tarrah.

    I hope ye didn't forget to add the beef and the lasagne. Wouldn't be quiet the same without it. Or is that kind of obvious, as well?

    I thought Arsenal finished on the same points as Liverpool last year, but then lost some bloke called Henry. Football just ain't that simple I guess....
