Strength in Depth
First, let's have a look at our probable Starting XI
------------Reina-----------
Glen-Carragher-Skrtel-LB
------Lucas----Adam------
----------Gerrard----------
Suarez-----------Downing
-----------Carroll----------
Looks pretty good, right! Now let's look at the probable back-up XI
---------------Doni---------------
Kelly-Kyrgiakos-Agger-Aurelio
----Spearing----Henderson----
---------------Raul---------------
Cole-------------------------Maxi
---------------Kuyt---------------
Doni is rubbish. Good thing is he will not have more than five games.
RB seems pretty well covered. Beyond Kelly we can depend on Carragher & Flanagan
At LB, we can expect Glen to cover for emergencies or even Robinson can chip-in with few games.
Things can become sticky at CB if two players are unavailable.
Central MF is where our strength runs deepest. That too after selling Aqualini & sending Shelvy on loan.
Henderson can double-up as RW, but it's the wide areas wher we are most vulnerable.
Though we will have a short season in 2011-12, four (let's say LB, MF, R/LW & ST) absences for a considerable period will make a big difference in strength and affect top-four finish.

Re: Strength in Depth
Not to mention the balance in the team, with amount of left footers in the squad.
Downing, Carroll, Agger, and Adam are all left-footed

LB:New LB, Aurelio, Insua, Johnson, Robinson, Flanno
RB: Johnson, Kelly,Flanno

Aquilani will be sold if not loaned out IMO.
I would still like another winger as cover for Downing after signing a LB which is necessity.
Other than that we probably have the best squad we have had in year particularly in attack.

Re: Strength in Depth
Part of cover is too young (Cody, Robinson), past their prime (Maxi) or injury-prone (Agger, Aurelio). Also, some of them rumored to be going out either on loan or being sold (Shelvy, Maxi, Ngog). When you consider all these, the cover is pretty thin.
As I have mentioned, 3-4 injuries will seriously compromise our CL ambition.
