I am hoping to see zenden, Aurelio, Reina, Garcia, Fowler, Crouch, kuyt.
Zenden didn't really perform when he arrive at liverpool, doesn't suit the style of liverpool.
Aurelio, He can't really defend while he is said to be a good free kick takers, have not seen any of that yet even with few start.
Reina, not consistent. In order to win the champion, we need consistent goalkeeper and not one who makes mistake at the critical moment.
Garcia, firstly he is expensive and his price tag doesn't really show that he is worth that much. Have not been consistent also. Loses the ball too much. He can't score simple goal, but only score spectacular ones, we need someone who can score frequently like lampard.
Fowler days are over. I do agree he was good, but no longer has those scoring touch.
Crouch, He is tall but quite useless when we need important goal. I do agree he always do trouble defender, but troubling isn't enough, we need someone who can trouble defenders and score goals. We can't always wait and pray that he can score.
Kuyt, another expensive one. That price tag doesn't show that he is worth that much. What we really lack is one really world class striker, hope we can sell him to get some money for a good expensive striker.

I disagree with your list.
Zenden is more of a wisdom player, he was bought into the club to create and cover the first team. He does this perfectly if you watch the premiership week in and week out, (well when he plays)..
Reina; Well who saved to penalties yesterday? he didn't make a mistake then and he shown class which only TRUE shot stoppers can show.
Garcia? He gives his heart, plays til the last minute and scores amazing goals. He might be hit and miss, but once again if you watch his performance you'd see that he does cover his price tag by being creative. (he doesn't have to score) someone else will.
Fowler? Didn't he score on his first day back at the club.. he's their to give the side more "tactical cover" plus experience. It's not all about fast legs, but those who know how to play the game which robbie does.
Crouch? Now I didn't like him, there's still apart of me which thinks he should go back to the zoo but geez your list doesn't show any knowledge of the game, sorry for sounding offensive but he scored a great hattrick the other week and he does play well. give the guy a break he's learning his trade and he is improving...
Kuyt... Geez what can I say.. this chap will become someone who will win games alone just like stevie give him chance to influence the game. I think true liverpool fans, those who watch him week in and out will appreciate him. he's world class, I wished arsenal had him.
He plays (deep back mid) mid (all over) weak on the left side I believe as well as upfront. geez you've got a versatile player their, who can defend, hold the ball up but you want someone with class. (he's got skill)
Again sorry, I wouldn't be honest if i didn't point these out and I know this sounds somewhat grumpy. I'm not a liverpool fan myself, I just know the game.
I doubt any sport fans would list something like this, because a team needs support. lucky your not at the games (okay I was grumpy) i am actually joking, ignore me!!!

Thanks for the comments.
Zenden is the wisdom player? I doubt so, maybe he is getting old. He can't run at player, he can't cross most of the time and many times he loses more balls than other player. I don't see him as a good left winger.
Reina, yes I do agree he is a good at stopping penalties. But i think 95% of the time, we want a keeper who is consistent. Not someone who can perform strongly in one match and the next flop.
Gracia is one expensive player which i think those misses he had doesn't even cover those price we paid. Ok, let even say that we don't need him to score, but the thing is he can't take the ball and dribble too. He did not have the vision too. So why would we need him?
Ok, fowler, yes he has the experience which he can teach but no longer the technical as before. So age is catching up, no doubt he will leave soon.
Crouch, cant really be a striker. Yes, i know rafa use him as he is tall and defender are afraid of the height he had. But we cant have a striker who score a hatrick once and score none for the next 10 matches?
Kuyt, ok i agree that maybe I didn't give him enough chance. I do agree that this guy might rise to be world class but i am more anxious for liverpool to buy a real world class player than to wait for another season. How many seasons had we waited for this world class player to come by? And does it comes by ?
YES I AM GLAD CHELSEA LOST TOO !!!!

I agree with you on Zenden, Reina and Fowler, but you have even decimated the forward line. I think I like the Kuyt and Crouch combo. I think they will be a forward force to reckon with next season. Although, you are right on Aurelio defensive qualities, I think with a bit more effort, he can be developed as the next Roberto Carlos with his energetic running. Garcia is a tough one to call. I think he is more of a big match player. I have always seen him score important goals in Champions League and other Cup matches. But, the long drain of the League does not seem to made for him, so he is actually a tough one to call.
Cheers!

I hope Kuyt leaves the team, although he works hard all the time.
But liverpool needs a world class strike, unfortunately he isn't.

I don't care who gonna leave the team but I want them to win every games, create titles, histories and many more. What I want them to do is win every games.
But actually, I don't want Gerrard, Carragher, Riise and torres to leave.
We want them to win!!!

I am sure by now many of us might have dropped the thought of removing some players from this club as we have reached the final of the champions league, and the best part is that some players in your list are the one's who helped them reach the final, especially "reina" he was the hero.
anyway's i do think fowler will retire sooner rather than later, and deserves a grand farewell. this team seems to be heading towards the champions league glory so we should not try to criticise any player as it's because of every single one of them that we have reached this stage.

I couldn't agree any more with you anik30.
Liverpool focus on doing things as a team, they play together and do it well. as well as ambition because even the weaker players play a major role in the team.
Kudos,

zenden is the one and aurekio is fine but not peter crouch, peter crouch can distribute the ball to other players, it just the other players failed to make goals. he always troubled the defenders and while he is doing that the midfielder attempt to creat goals. liverpool should keep peter crouch

I think Zendon is on his way out, even though he did score a good penalty in the champions league semi-final against Chelsea. Fowler has probably had his last season. I still think Crouch is useful; he is still in the top ten goal scorers of the season in all competitions. Garcia is a frustrating player, gives the ball away too much but scores some spectacular and important goals. I think Kuyt is improving all the time and should certainly be given another season. He is one of the hardest working players in the team. I also think Aurelio should stay a while longer, he was looking a better player until that unfortunate injury. We just need one strong striker up front. Everyone else is fitting nicely together. Kaka would be nice or Eto!
