We don't have the squad depth that we should, but regardless, any team would struggle with the injuries we've suffered.
It's quite a bit factor and it's also not Houllier's fault.
If Liverpool had...
Kelly Carragher Agger Lucas Meireles Poulson Spearing, Torres, N'Gog, Jovanovic all out.
Just look at the way, Chelsea are struggling without Lampard, Essien, Terry..
You can't under estimate in my opinion the amount of quality we are missing.
What quality are we missing?
Well today, Collins, Cuellar, Albrighton, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Delph, Heskey (who ripped Blackburn apart in Carling Cup)....ALL would be pushing at least for a starting place, with probably 4 of them definitely playing.
You can't tell me, none of those would of made any sort of difference. Albrighton starting instead of Ireland for starters could have been a big difference because when Young went down the middle, we did a lot better.
What we really lacked today was a killer instinct in front of goal. Not many, if any, of those named are world beaters up front.
