Liverpool fans were enraged by the suggestion in this column last November that Rafa Benitez's side relied too heavily on Steven Gerrard.
Don't worry, there is no need to apologise now that it must have become obvious to even the most blinkered supporter after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
Even Benitez, the manager whose grip on the job at Anfield has never looked weaker, might admit to the problem in private (in public he sticks with a state of denial, claiming the title race is not over yet).
There are a few other key players too of course (think Xabi Alonso, who Benitez wanted to replace with Gareth Barry) but the thin Liverpool squad cannot manage for long without Gerrard and unless he recovers from his hamstring injury and is fit to face Real Madrid in the Champions League it could all end in tears.
