LONDON — Rafa Benitez has signed 76 players costing £230 million during his five years in charge at Liverpool yet he still relies on two.
Without captain Steven Gerrard and striker Fernando Torres, Liverpool is ordinary, as was proven again in the 2-1 Champions League home defeat by Lyon.
After five years you have to cope better with losing two players, but even with their dynamic duo the Reds are only slightly better.
