We need to get rid of:

El Zhar, Ngog, Babel, Benayoun, Riera, Maxi.. then all the useless reserves.

Good backbone to the team, Reina, Carragher, Gerrard, Torres but other than that really its nothing special. I think Kuyt and Agger are great though

I think Babel should stay, he has promise but he's not been given enough chances to show it:(.

Not keen on Lucas.. however it must have felt good that Villa finished above them last season for you;).

I'd rather see Manu falter than Liverpool to be honest - I like Liverpool

and yea at one time Babel was considered one of the best prospects in the world when he was ajax. As a striker. the next Henry he was touted as...but what does Rafa do..stick him on the left and now hes considered just a winger

:nono:, it's Man City who are going to be the biggest threat to everyone now

Babel could have played well up front like he did at Ajax if given the chance at Anfield.

Benitez has officially left.

Liverpool have announced manager Rafael Benitez has left the club by mutual consent after six years in charge.

Benitez, 50, replaced Gerard Houllier as Liverpool manager in June 2004 and guided them to Champions League success the following season.

But last season they made an early exit from the Champions League and could only finish seventh in the league.

Managing director Christian Purslow and former manager Kenny Dalglish are to begin the search for a replacement.

The club says there is no timeframe for an appointment, and will make no further comment until a new manager has been appointed.

Benitez said he was "extremely sad" to be leaving the club.

"I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool," he told the club website.

"I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

"Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."


Newly-appointed club chairman Martin Broughton thanked Benitez for his efforts, but said it was time for a new era.

"Rafa will forever be part of Liverpool folklore after bringing home the Champions League following the epic final in Istanbul but after a disappointing season both parties felt a fresh start would be best for all concerned,' he said.

Looks like Kenny Dalglish will be taking over as manager with Ian Rush as his assistant at Anfield:p.
