Liverpool Comeback - but Worries remain...

It was a fantastic comeback against Bolton yesterday, but going behind twice and getting the victory with one man more is actually not as impressive as some think. Let's face it: Liverpool has not been doing well, except in their game against Stoke (4:0). From a possible 12, they have now only 6 points, which means they have already dropped 6 over against Chelsea and Spurs. The biggest worry, however, is the lack of depth. They are already playing with their strongest side and struggle against Bolton. The Reds have several such comebacks against Teams like ManCity, yet won after their opponents went down to 10 man - it's simply not assuring that they will be serious title contenders this year. What should have happened is that they should have kept Alonso, bought Barry and get another striker of Torres' class (i.e., David Villa). Lucas should have been sold and perhaps Voronin, too. Liverpool's missed chances at the end of the Bolton game showed that the attacking force is not in he kind of harmony as you need them to be. Johnson was a fantastic signing, but it's not enough to compete with Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U for the title, let alone with Real Madrid and Barca for the Champions League. Consistency was the problem last year and still is the problem this year. Time will tell how costly Ronaldo's and Tevez' departure will prove for Man U and whether Arsenal and Spurs will be consistent. But whether Liverpool has the same capacity to challenge for the title as last year is doubtful - not because of their lousy start, but lack of good players. Anyway, let's see what they can draw from that victory and how things will progress from now - still hopeful, but also realistic.
