Liverpool FC fans letters: Blame Moores and Benitez for this mess

THE question of who is to blame for creating the worst Liverpool team for over 40 years is a blatantly easy one to answer.Firstly, David Moores for inexplicably selling the club to the two Americans rather than the money-rich Arabs, who were also Liverpool supporters.Secondly, Rafa Benitez who, after five years, is now presiding over the worst team squad I can ever remember.Indeed, where the media get the idea that he retains the support of the fans is beyond me, as this is not the case to the many supporters that I talk to. Why?1. Far too many of the first team squad (many usually playing) are clearly and simply not good enough.2. The ridiculous situation with Xabi Alonso who would never have left the club but for Mr Benitez wanting to sell him.So this excellent footballer was not only sold by the club but the nonsense was then compounded by the failure to sign Gareth Barry who was earmarked as his replacement.He then pays £20m for Aquilani who came injured but now when fit, doesn't play him!3. Who in their right mind would start a season with just one top class forward?Fans and pundits alike realised that in the summer the team must acquire a top class forward (to play alongside Torres) and a top class left-sided midfield player.However, Mr Benitez paid a record price for a full-back!Therefore, and notwithstanding that we cannot defend, like last season, there is no-one to score the goals when Torres is not playing.
