The problem is Krump's post can be applied pretty easily to far too many in the squad.

maybe, but we are moving in the right direction and we are still hanging on the coat tails of the manchester teams. gerrard (seems) back so that will automatically make us stronger.
as for henderson, I think the problem is one of confidence rather than ability, he is playing it back and square because he is terrified of making a mistake, he is young and you'd hope he will grow more confident over time.

Are we really moving in the right direction ?
It looks like we spent loads of money on shit players again

You me both are agreed that the Henderson money could have been better spent on a key attacker that could have made the difference, no arguments there. And Carroll was a panic buy that was grossly overpriced. I think the rest are good players (Suarez obv, Downing, Enrique and Adam). Adam has his flaws, I didn't think he was nearly as bad as many have made out yesterday, but he does seem to have stamina issues, Danny Murphy was the same, loads of staff have commented that he had problems playing 60+minutes - Not good enough but that doesn't mean he can't play a massive part for a relatively small fee. For all the criticism he still has 2 goals and 2 assists so far. It's hardly shocking.
