Liverpool needs some cover. We have no one who can cause any real threat off the bench outside of Le Tallec... and he's still inconsistant.
W/o Owen and Baros there is no one ready to step in to play as a competent striker. Houllier has no options, which is his own fault of course, as Litmanen, Anelka, (possibly) Fowler, or Berger (obviously) have been let go... all veterans who could have strenghthened a decimated Liverpool team.
Obviously, he had reasons for not retaining these players (...although I never understood why Berger fell out of favor... why let him go for nothing in return?), BUT he needs to replace them with some veteran talent, to have some experienced cover up front. Esp. with Owen still somewhat a danger to pick up an injury.
We have to get Cisse, or whoever else might be available with a sufficient pedigree, otherwise, we will be stuck in UEFA again.
I like the potential of GH's youth movement, but he has really lost the depth of the squad he inherited.
