PL 2015/16 - Favourites? Plus my Liverpool...

In fairness I stopped reading at the part where you said "and as Ian Wright says". :rolleyes: :D

 

He knows nothing. But in all seriousness, I've already agreed that Rodgers does have an ego. But if he can back it up, as he more than did last season, then nobody say's anything. It's only when going through a poor patch that clueless cretins like Ian Wright start gobbing off. Talking football with him is probably like trying to explain Algebra to Forrest Gump.

I love how people keep going on about 'last season'.;)

Why shouldn't Sturridge being out make such a difference? He's Liverpool most dangerous player along with Sterling. Chelsea would miss Fabregas. Man City are currently missing David Silva. Liverpool are badly missing Sturridge.

 

It shouldn't make such a difference as new players have been brought in

 

I don't put City's problems down to missing Silva..they are much deeper and if Fabregas were out i really don't think Chelsea would suddenly plummet in quality like Liverpool have

 

Rodgers had a choice in the summer. Either try to bring in a direct replacement for Suarez in which he DID, as he wanted Sanchez included in the Suarez deal, and he also tried to negotiate the transfer of Marco Reus from Dortmund only for them to have a change of heart and keep him at the club.

 

So he and the club failed

 

After that he opted for Lambert (let's not suddenly forget he has a very decent goal-scoring record in the EPL) and Markovic, the latter who has been touted by a lot of big clubs in Europe. And then he took the gamble on Balotteli, which at the moment obviously hasn't gone anything like the way in which he would have hoped.

 

Which all backs up my argument..the loss of Sturridge shouldnnot be having such an effect..it is cos they didn't bring in sufficient quality to repalce Suarez

 

Foreign players need time more often than not. Markovic is a kid and despite his price tag he needs to be given more than just a couple of months to settle down before people can question his talent.

 

So you can judge a player as a good buy after a couple of months but can't judge a player as a failure after a couple of months..come on man..be consistant ;)

But it's fine to label them as poor signings just because neither have taken the league by storm? Both have done very well so far no matter how the other players are performing or under-performing.

 

I haven't said they are poor signings just that you can't call them good signings based on a few good performances in a poorly peforming side..they'll be good singnings when they do it for Liverpool over a couple of seasons against the better opposition..that's the kind of quality Liverpool should aspire to.....and they may yet do that..time will tell.

Well 13 games gone and Chelsea still remain unbeaten. Good chance for Man City to close the gap on Chelsea with a win at Southampton tomorrow.

Good wins for both Liverpool and Arsenal, even though you'd expect them both to win, you just never no with them 2 this season..£16m is looking to be a good bit of business for Welbeck from Arsenal..

Man Utd look to be finally finding their way now, considering the injuries they've still got..

The table come May should end up like this..

 

Chelsea

Man City

Arsenal

Man Utd.

It's anybody's guess who will finish outside the top 2. If Arsenal buy correctly in January they could easily finish 3rd, as could United if they get on a run and defend better once they get players back from injury.

 

The top two is a given and it's still on that Chelski could remain unbeaten in the PL for the rest of the season.

I love how people state this 'one good season' as if you can somehow just fluke a whole season in arguably the most difficult league in the world. Ridiculous. Suarez wasn't the reason for Sturridge or Sterling being outstanding. He wasn't the reason why Henderson improved hugely along with one or two others. He wasn't the only reason why Liverpool scored goals for fun, this was proven when he wasn't playing.

 

Confidence is a huge thing at the moment and the current Liverpool team isn't playing with any. Rodgers decided to try and bring more depth to the club over the summer, due to the extra football Champions League brings, and sometimes it takes time for new players to gel both together and with the players that were already there, just as United under a genuine world-class coach are also finding out.

 

 

The classic delusions of a Liverpool supporter. Yet again, as under Benitez on many occassions, where you were two world class players from mounting a challenge, you signed numerous average ones.

 

Your current squad now, on paper, is where it ought to be in the league. Sturridge is a miss, but if you really think he's the difference between a title challenge and mid table, you are again delusioned.

 

Liverpool supporters are incapable of spotting the weeknesses in their sides as in their views, there aren't any. This is why Gerrard will continue to play on far past his sell by date, just as the hugely overrated Jamie Carragher did.

Who said anything like that about Sturridge? You're making stuff up to suit your own point of view. Ridiculous. Sturridge is a big miss and with him in the side Liverpool would have been a number of points better off than they are currently. How many points that would be exactly nobody knows.

 

You're 3rd paragraph is complete and utter nonsense too. In this very thread I've stated on more than one occasions that Gerrard shouldn't be playing in the position he has been doing, so how the hell does that amount to any Liverpool supporter not being able to see weaknesses in the side? Crazy.

 

Also, should Liverpool finish in the top 4, or even top 6, are you going to be man enough to admit you got it wrong when you insist that the best they are is an 8th place team? Somehow I doubt it.

Stoke 3 up at half-time again the Gunners. You can't not be impressed with that. Sounds like Bojan is running the show - He has to be the buy of the summer for 3 million.

 

Perez at Newcastle for £1.2 million is looking money well spent as well. As is Jack Colback for nowt.
