The thing is a club of our stature shouldn't entertain as many players who's in obvious need of babysitters as we do at the moment.
I'd get rid of Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Skrtel, Poulsen, Ngog, Babel and to some extent Lucas come Summer - though I actually don't think he's been that bad this Season. (He can get the job done, if he's been used properly and not all the time).
I'd keep hold on Kuyt but he's certainly been wank for quite some time now and both Maxi and Cole would need to sharpen up as well to keep their place.
For me these are our key-players (baring injuries of course): Reina, Carra, Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Raul, Kuyt, Torres
Get rid of the deadwood and let a new manager bring in 5-7 new players where at least two or three of them are star-players - or at least potential world class like Hazard, Young and Javi Martinez perhaps. Promote some of the kids and buy some talented, upcoming defenders and back-up strikers.
Starting from scratch without moulding too much with the potential world class core of players we've got.

Agree with pretty much all of that, bar Johnson.
He either needs some coaching on how to run back to defence after going up for a free-kick/corner or he needs a kick up the arse.
Put Kelly at RB vs UTD.
