Gerrard and Torres only started 12 games in the EPL all season. Both of them are key players and possess a telepathic understanding between themselves. Lose one of them to injury and our chances of winning a game will decrease. They've gotten 28 goals in the EPL between themselves this season, but we've got 40 odd goals coming from the other players.
This shows that we do not heavily rely on our duo, but also other players have the ability to step in and have a say, have an impact. Too often, its been always the same people scoring, driving the team on, and in our case it was Gerrard and Torres. Many labelled us as a 2 man team, but what now? Critics have shut up and not only we've got Gerrard and Torres looking good, Dirk's scored 14 goals and 12 assists all season, Alonso, Riera, Yossi also putting in the shift and scoring a couple.
Any one of the players that get on the field and pull on the Red shirt have shown ability to save the team. Every one of them have a strong mentality, and indirectly are leaders, as spoken about the topic on the number of 'captains' we have. And this is what will stand us in good stead, the strong mentality, a good team togetherness and the never give up spirit.
Just a couple more of signings, cutting out a couple of draws and believing in every single game, will lead us to the title.
