We're in dire need of outside mids. Raul shouldn't be starting on the left, and Dirk shouldn't be starting. Spearing did will, but his lack of height means anything in the air is knocked down by the opposition, which can be dangerous. He definitely has all of the tools other than height to be successful.
Carroll looked rusty but still showed flashes of what he can do. I just hope we don't become one-dimensional in looking for his head. He can play with his feet as well, though he didn't always look it today.
Suarez's goal was brilliant. It seems like he's going to score everytime he gets the ball on his foot in the box. I think in a couple years Suarez for 22m is going to look like the steal of the decade. If we bring in just a couple more creative attacking players we will have an absolutely devastating attack. I know some aren't excited about the likes of Adam and Young with names like Sanchez and Hazard being thrown around, but just replacing players in the starting eleven like Dirk/Maxi/Cole with those two will makes us miles better in a multitude of ways.
The defense looked solid, though I'm not sold on Skrtel as a long term solution. Next season I would love to see Kelly/Agger together in the middle with Johnson and a new LB, whether it's Enrique/Coentrao/Taiwo/etc. Think that would give us a very young, tough, competent back line, with all four players being able to connect passes.
Overall I thought it was a good win, and we played a great second half, despite looking pretty poor in the first half. Lots of reminders of what we have to look forward to.
