Is that all for Liverpool? Or is there more?

With the unveiling of Babel and Benayoun today, Liverpool is showing a sign of intent. A quick comparison of the squad of the top 4 teams in the EPL, we will notice Liverpool has a really big squad.

But IMO, I still feel our left side is the weak link. Riise, although a good servant of the club, is a very limited player. Other than his powerful shot, his one-footedness is unbelievable. Each and every time when a defender blocked his path when he goes forward, he will cut back. A normal player will try to look for teammates to pass to INFIELD. But that will require him to use his right foot, which is a big 'NO!' to him, you will find that he will prefer to pass the ball backwards to Agger or Mascherano who positions themselves behind him.

No big deal? What he has done is broken up the momentum in attack with Gerrard, Kuyt Crouch etc all waiting infield infront of him. I really hope Rafa bring in another LB and if Christmas came early, can we have Queresma please?
