Where's the offensive play?

Once again I have to write about Mr. Benitez and Liverpool. As a die hard Liverpool-fan, I am absolutely frustrated at the moment by the recent performance against Wigan and the poor performances against Everton.

I will point out the good and bad about Benitez choices, and I will try to make this short.

Good:
- Keane at the bench, Torres on top. Though Torres isn't at his very best at the moment, you have to use a player until he finds his top form. When it comes to Keane, he had his twenty chances and haven't found his yet.
- Babel and Benayoun from the start, though Babel hasn't really impressed. Benayoun has done his stuff and deserves to be among the starting eleven the next couple of games.
- No more Kuyt as a lone striker at the top. Better use of him at the right side, though Kuyt has been impressing as little as Babel.

Bad:
- The frequent use of Lucas. I know, Lucas is young and need to be taught and this is how to develop coming stars (if he will be one), but Benitez is taking huge risks when it comes to his inexperience. There's one thing Liverpool can't afford now, and that is to lose the title just because Benitez want to develop Lucas.
- Though we have world class central defenders in Carragher, Hyypia and Skrtel: Where's Agger?
- If we can't fucking score by attacking, why don't have Hyypia in the starting eleven and automatically have a heading specialist in free kicks and corners? Just a though...
(- Maybe team Torres up with a second strikes, like Babel or something? Torres has the technique, Babel has the fearsome shot)

My (preferable) starting eleven against Chelsea this evening:

Reina
Arbeloa
Carragher
Hyypia
Aurelio

Kuyt
Mascherano
Gerrard
Benayoun

Babel
Torres
