I don't get to see the reserves play and rely heavily on Dave's reports for info. The impression I had was that under Houllier was that we basically had no reserve team and just used the games as an excuse for 1st teamers to regain some match fitness. It seems that under Rafa things have gotten only marginally better. In order for Liverpool to be a force once again I think we need a strong reserve side, not only to help the youngsters but to also give the first team some competition. Remarks please. :party:
