In Defence, we have the ever-present Jamie Carragher. He is a no-nonsense centre back who gives 101% in every match. Ever so reliable and efficient. I rate him better than John Terry for the fact that Terry do not respect the man in black. He is more like a gang triad on the field rather than a team captain.
In Midfield, we have our general in Steven Gerrard. He is one of the world finest midfielder. He is much better than Frank Lampard. Gerrard can make those burst which Lampard does not. He will run his lung out for the team. A good passer, a excellent tackler, a marvellous crosser of the ball and he can strike the ball with venom. In all, Gerrard is the most complete midfielder. The team can count on him when the tough gets going.Lastly in Attack, we have "El Nino" - Ferrando Torres. Many cluns including Man Utd and Chelsea were reportedly trying to sign him. In the end, Liverpool signed him. I have my doubts over him at first as he might be another Fernando Morientes. Good in Spain but flop in England. After almost half a season gone, he prove to be an phenomenal. 26 goals in all and counting. He single handly won some matches for Liverpool. Blessed with frightening pace and skills, he will be Liverpool striker in chief for many years to come.
However, Carragher is 30 and Gerrard is in his late twenties. Both are true scouser and are driven with passion for the club. It is not easy for someone to step into their shoes to replace them in years to come. Liverpool will need many Carraghers and Gerrards for the future.Next season will be a more promising one in term of the EPL title hope and I'm sure Gerrard & Co will prove the critics wrong for being pretenders for so many seasons...
