A few seasons back when Gerrard was at his peak, he got injured for a bit and missed some huge games (in fact now I say it, I think it may have been the champions league 2005, because I think he missed the quarters against Juve) and everyone feared we'd be lost without him. However, the team played brilliantly working for each other. Sometimes losing the man that everyone tries to pass to can be a good thing for the team as a whole. And Sturridge and Coutinho really are looking like they just click. Not getting over excited and joining in these ridiculous "Liverpool title contenders" things that I'm reading, but I am feeling that if we can get some consistency in our game, we're as good as Arsenal or Spurs. And speaking of which, Spurs just look like a team of strangers at the moment. I have no doubt it will all come together, but they'd best be quick about it. Maybe Wenger was right when he said it can be dangerous to bring in more than 3 players at one time.
