Nope it's certainly not but 3 games in and they're acting like they've been on top for 20 years. Embarrassing set of twats.
Get in full time employment and your on the right road scouserI only wish I could be more like you.
This is becoming increasingly questionable.
From the fans who touted Jermaine Pennant a better prospect than Ronaldo, it's hardly surprising this kind of talk is rearing it's head.
From the fan who has repeatedly underestimated Liverpool's current players it's hardly surprising that this kind of talk is rearing its head.
What kind of talk ?
The talk that Liverpool were carried by Suarez.
I put up the stat's comparing them last season, Mata clearly ahead. However so far this season Sterling has been simply superb, both in defence (where Mata is greatly remiss) and attack whilst Mata have been well below his average.
I'd go as far and say that on yesterday's performance (and on the fact that people are selecting Rojo, Blind and Shaw without a match under their belts in the PL for United + Herrera with two performances against average teams) I would maybe only take De Gea, Di Maria and possibly (and this only because Balotelli has only played one game) Rooney. Not surprising then that each set of supporters sees it at virtually 180 degrees about.
Well that surely all depends on the standings when we get to that point. If that gap is wider than you expected or if we do not suddenly implode as you are all assuming will be the result of European matches ...........
The simple reality is that Suarez would have been there if he wasn't banned that is. And he would have given City's back line a excessively more difficult job.
Oops sorry my bad - forgot about him (corrected above !), he has only just arrived
Yep definitely Di Maria too.Whoopsie forgot about him eh haha.
United fans are naturally going to claim Mata, Liverpool's Sterling because he's been fantastic for the past 12 months, it would be interesting to see a neutral's perspective though ... not so clear cut I'd imagine.
Actually it was pickle red I was correcting, both players are not even remotely similar and hence cannot be compared but as levels go then it's quite clear Mata is the more equipped. Sterlings pace and trickery are more suited to a comparison with Di Maria so we can draw a line under that.
Sterling is 19 yo and already rated one of the best youngsters in Europe with obviously so much more to come, Di Maria is 26 yo so it's whether you want to go for maturity or youth at their current levels. I know probably 99% of Liverpool fans wouldn't swap him for virtually anyone (bar the obvious) and that includes DiM. As far as positionally is concerned, Sterling has played in the apex of the diamond and was fantastic so I think we can compare to Mata.
Well whilst that's all true (and I think everybody, even Liverpool fans, rates LvG) it still doesn't answer the question I posed ....You might find your own fans and probably yourself have expressed concerns regarding European matches, especially for your defence against the bigger teams. City saw it crumble and your to face Madrid twice. My suspicion and hope is that Rogers is excellent in producing attacking football but has problems organising defences.
It's been an amazing transformation for Liverpool fans going from United corruption being the sole link between top honours and 7th but since Fergusons retirement the admission that actually it was the fact that he was just an elite force and one of the managerial greats of all time. Now you finally have a good manager yourselves your finally realising the influence they have on the league standings and Moyes stint underling that point perfectly.
Van Gaal is apparently quite good too, or so I'm told
Mata and Sterlings style of play is not even remotely comparable, the end. That you would take Sterling over Di Maria simply underlines how biased and impossible it is to have a reasoned discussion with you.
