Oh well... the season's over now, so how do you guys think we can improve for the next one?
I do think we need a right back (playing Carra there just makes no sense, and Arbeloa is not up to the standard. Rafinha?). Skrtel did well at centre back, Fabio Aurelio is decent enough, if a bit injury prone. I guess we have a good defence overall.
Mascherano was awesome in the midfield, and while Xabi is struggling with his form, I still think he's a great player. Then we've got Stevie. I wanna see more of Lucas, I know how good a player he is, he just needs to adapt better and get used to the pace. Pennant, Benayoun... oh well, we need players for the wide positions. Kuyt is a hard worker, and I respect him a lot for that, but he needs to show a lot more.
Up front we've got Torres, who played brilliantly this year, and Crouch, who I believe was not used enough this season. I'd completely understand it if he were to leave this summer, though I personally wouldn't like to see him go.
With all the board problems we seem to be having, it's tough to know whether we'll have money to invest or not. Also, Benitez's job is uncertain. I'd like to give him one more go at the league title.
