Lack Of Depth In Central Midfield

Might just be me, but I am very concerned about the central midfield now

Lucas, Poulsen, Gerrard

I Bloody hope Roy has plans to get someone else in now Aquilani and Mascherano have gone...

I agree, can you imagine if Gerrard has another injury hit season.

Also, If Poulsen struggles to adapt to the league!

I am seriously worried that we need 2-3 new central midfielders just for cover now!

You forgot Spearing 

No honestly mate it's a sight for sore eyes. I would love to see Defour or Inler. Preferably Defour as he is a box to box midfielder we crave.

I'd love us to sign De Rossi, Lassana Diarra, Sissoko or Alonso

Is that Moussa or our old Sissoko? The midfielders you state are out of our price range.

Well Hodge has £16m to spend!

Don't bloody count on it!!

Without Gerrard  who has had his fair share of injuries over the last couple of years, I think this is the worst Liverpool midfield I can ever remember.

In 25 years following the club I've not seen a worse partnership or pair as Lucas and Poulsen. Dark times ahead.

Don't bloody count on it!!

Is anyone available on a free?

Remember when we had the best midfield in the world. . . Asset stripping in full effect. One of the least experienced squads I can remember. Step forward youth players. We need you

Asset stripping in full effect.

Bang on, and it breaks my heart!

If Gerrard gets a bad injury we are fu**ed because a midfield with Poulsen and Lucas is just not good enough. Both players are extremely mediocre and are incapable of passing the ball forward.

 I would never play them together then I would never play either of them to be honest. Prefer to see Shelvey in there now at least he will pass the ball forward.

Were all hurting man. When I think how close we were two seasons ago and how quickly the club is being cleared out by our 'owners'. . . Makes me sick to my stomach. Jail would be too good for them. String them up in the Sahara

We used have a midfield of Sissoko, Alonso, Mascherano and Gerrard now we have Poulsen, Lucas and an older Gerrard. I would take Sissoko ahead of Lucas and Poulsen. Obviously so would Juventus.

I would have kept Momo alright. But hey when could we ever keep players. Now we have his number two from Juve. Christ. Woah woah woe. We had the best midfield in the world. Xabi Alonso, Momo Sissoko, Gerrard and Mascheranooo. F ML 

That used to be our strength the spine, now we have a massive weakness in there. Loved Masch thought he was an exceptional player sadly I can't say the same about either Lucas or Poulsen.

 Both players wouldn't get near any other half decent team in the Premierships starting line ups.

It looks like a stitch up of epic proportions.... in fact its a bigger stitch up than my nan's quilt....

We lost the best midfields in the world. No more Alonso, no more Sissoko, Gerrard, No Mascheranooooo. Woah woah woah.

The only option we have is for the young guns to step up. Has anyone heard from Plessis lately?

i loved mascha, but to be honest i dont want a player who doesn't want to play for the shirt. i think played more for rafa then lfc.

but you're all correct, our midfield is a shadow of what it used to be. fair enough we have joe cole and gerrard, two world class midfielders, but defensively and for cover, we're bare bones.

please somebody end the the c**ts who have pillaged our club. please.

Apparently we didn't need the money from Masch's transfer so really you'd expect us to spend some of it, you could get a very decent midfielder for £15 million, Defour for example.

You don't really believe that though you Stevie October the 6th is fast approaching and at the moment it doesn't look like the yanks want to sell.

Midfield last season was generally occupied by

Mascherano
Gerrard
Aquilani
Riera
Benayoun
Leiva
Rodriguez
Kuyt

Now

Gerrard
Cole
Leiva
Poulsen
Rodriguez
Kuyt

With the first two names likely to suffer injuries (not forgetting 4 of those players are over 30), then I would have to say this season is going to be an exceptionally tiresome one.
