Honestly, Jacky, i don't think the team is a problem.. Rafa is.. Babel and Ngog is pretty good just inconsistent. I think to be fair to them, it's Rafa's fault to buy them for 3 years and play them so little until now. They just lack exposure and experience.
Tactically, Rafa is more positive in this match, but i still think he should have played Mash instead of Lucas, as it will free up Gerrard to go forward.
As for the substitute, i bet with you all liverpool fans must have sweared at the same time.
