James Pearce: A dominant central midfielder is vital, at least one full-back, at least one keeper and Liverpool also need more firepower. I can't see the owners changing their attitude towards wages but they will have to think again about the buying strategy. They aren't stupid, they want LFC to be successful but in order to achieve that the club need more players who are already established. The stats don't lie. The average age of the title winners in recent years has been around 28/29, Liverpool's current line up is closer to 24.
