RE: Liverpool are they going to get better this season ?

If you look at four of the back five: pepe, johnson, agger and skirtle; these players played under benitez in '09 when liverpool finished second. They're not exactly in-experienced. So what gives this season? Just why have they been poor at the back? Liverpool lack a decent tackler in central MF and confidence. When they concede a goal, they feel sorry for themselves and can't get back in the game.
Just look at the league cup game against swansea and the league game against villa. A vast change in personnel, yet the same old story: Good possession, create decent chances early on, then they get caught flat-footed at the back and concede. As soon as they do that, they're chasing the game. And get caught on the break again. And again.
I mean, villa?!! Losing at home to villa's babies??? The same side that lost to chelsea and spurs and concede 12 goals?! Just what is rodgers doing in training? I'd personally push agger into MF alongside lucas and play coates in defense with skirtle. Bit of a gamble, but it might stop the goals leaking in. Push gerrad up with suarez as a temporary measure. Suarez works better playing just behind a finisher. Liverpool really need to buy an out-an-out striker. How old is forlan?
