Guest alex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Danny B in making a fool of himself shocker! Portsmouth, Everton and Aston Villa are all vastly better than Tottenham. Everton aren't vastly better than anyone. I think Liverpool will win it. Do you seriously think that? When's the last time you even mounted a decent challenge? I really can't see yous winning it with Rafa in charge. Yeah, I do. We've closed the gap every season under Rafa and the backbone of the squad has a lot of experience and been together a while. Couple that with a few useful PL players like Barry and Keane that we'll pick up from small clubs and the fact that Rafa is unlikely to over-rotate again ... I think we're in with a shout. The last time we mounted a challange doesn't really matteras it's history anyway. I'd be really pleased if we run it to the wire. No chance.

Guest alex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 4th I reckon. What would have frustrated me last year if I were a Liverpool is that the league was there for the taking but they were never in the hunt. They only started stringing a decent league run together when they were already all but out of the running. I fancy them to do well in Europe again though as they are so hard to beat in the cl.

Let's wait and see Rafa's well into the running of it by now and is unlikely to repeat past errors being the schrewd man that he is. If we hadn't drawn so many at the start of last season we'd have been in the running. Torres and Keane & Co will ensure that that won't happen this year.

Buying players who aren't good enough? Because he seems ready to spunk big money on Robbie Keane and Gareth Barry. I like those two, especially the former, but I don't think they're going to win you the league by being added to the squad.

Which is probably as much down to not having quite enough money or having the genius of Wenger when it comes to unearthing talent to compete with the other 3.

He took a while to get used to the English league and it took time to undo the shambles Houllier left it in. I consider the amount of rotation he does to be a mistake and I think he was too slow in realizing that we were short a bit of grit in the prem. That appears to be changing though.

And also lacking that killer player, although Torres is getting there and Gerrard normally has a good run till he starts getting tired around Christmas.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he rotated a lot less than Ferguson last season (and at a guess less than Chelsea). Rotation isn't your problem, it's the quality of those players who come in for the players who are deemed to need a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
