i think aguero is a brilliant player and he has been for a few years now but the sheer quality city have in reserve at centre forward is huge. I mean jovetic cant get a look in this year. I think city with aguero back will go away from everyone now. Pity because the league was open when they were struggling.
What is Luis Suarez worth?
- Thread starter Donaldo
- Start date
What's going on here, then?
Photoshopped or real?
It's photoshopped, it says 'Luis Suarez could nutmeg a mermaid'
He can't.
This lad was laughed at, but Christ, that's a brilliant prediction looking back on it.
I wonder if Real is willing to break the bank this summer again and get him in? But surely his price must be in the Bale region by now.
I don´t like you lot but you´re a good poster
. Seriousley, Brendon is doin all things right atm signing great young players who has turned the shite into an entertaining side who will challenge for the title for many years to come. Noone is disliking the happenings at Anfield more than me but the fact is that they are once again going to be a major force in England/Europ e. No offence Barney but I would rather be eaten alive than witnessing you once again be successful so I really hope I´m wrong and that you lot go back to shite just like after 08-09 season.I think it's a bit soon to say they will be challenging for the title for years to come and going to be a force in Europe.
You're 7 and 6 points behind the first and second placed sides. That's not a title challenge.
Maybe if it was the last day of the season. At this stage of the season that is a decent position. Still don't think they'll win it though.
I didn't say it wasn't a decent position. I have been praising Rodgers all season.
But they've slowly but surely slipped down and away from the leaders. That looks more and more like Arsenal's typical season (or Liverpool's of some years back) than a real challengers.
Yeah agree with this, there's no way you can look at this as a title challenge from Liverpool. Unless top 4 is their new title.
You're effectively 7 points and 3 places away from 4th- surely then you can't consider yourselves a contender for top 4 if you use the same reasoning.
We're adopting the Joe Hart mindset from last season:
Hart (25/2/2013) said:
The difference between City and Liverpool, over the course of 38 games, is so far removed from a comparison between Liverpool and United, it's laughable.
Fair enough, but the same United team beat City comfortable last year and on paper City were the far better outfit so anything can happen in football. For the record I don't think we will win the title, but I do think top 4 will finish how it is now.
The points gap is less significant the further down the table you go.
Not really. The points difference is only one factor. The difference in squad quality is the main one.
Still, it'll probably end up in a mad & unpredictable rush for 4th place at season's end (as usual).
Sorry, bringing this over from the other Suarez thread because it was locked. @BarneyLFC
What makes you say that Costa, Sturridge, Coutinho and Willian are top level players now?
We'll probably beat you at Old Trafford, so that's the gap down to three points if all stays the same until then.
Do you fancy yourselves to keep your nerve in that position?
What makes you so confident?
I doubt you'd find anyone who will be confident of any result. I have no idea how the match will go thus won't be making a prediction, as you say if you win and if the gap stays the same until then then you lot might only be 3 points behind us (effectively 4 taking into account GD). A lot of ifs there.
United:
Stoke v United
United v Fulham
Arsenal v United
Crystal Palace v United
Olympiacos v United (CL)
*City v United PP for League Cup
WBA v United
Liverpool:
WBA v Liverpool
Liverpool v Arsenal
Arsenal v Liverpool (FA Cup)
Fulham v Liverpool
Liverpool v Swansea
Southampton v Liverpool
Liverpool v Sunderland
Interesting run of fixtures there, we play some of the same teams- Fulham, WBA and Arsenal- however you have a Man City which will be PP so even if points stay the same you could effectively going into the game 9 points behind with a game in hand away to City.
We faced you twice this season and you haven't impressed in either match. The win at Anfield was unjust, and we beat practically your strongest-available side at Old Trafford in the League Cup with our second string.
As I said before (and you know my stance on the current Liverpool side), I'm not one bit fearful of failing to overturn the six-point deficit.
Was it? We had only a chance during the entire game.
They weren't brilliant but they scored earlier and then droped deep. We created feck all.
Fair enough, however the league cup game was hardly a white wash (It wasn't exactly a second string team you had out either http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24140621) and it was Suarez's first game back after what 5 months? I think it's fair to say he has pushed on a bit since then. The league match we scored early and defended- possession stats show you were in control but that's because we dropped back and let you have the ball, United didn't look like the were ever going to win the match so it was hardly an 'unjust' win for us. You using matches from September as a barometer to where the teams are now is silly though.
By the way it's more than just a 6 point deficit it also involves leapfrogging 2 teams which are both 2/3 points ahead of you. Might be better at looking getting above Spurs first before looking further afield.

I am in record in Costa's thread back in October or so (or maybe it was a different thread, nevertheless, I did say it) claiming he's in the world-class bracket like Falcao and Cavani is, but was laughed at by some.
I think he's a super player and I shudder to think how good Liverpool would be now if you'd managed to snaffle him last summer.
That's great, but we weren't after him in October, we were after him in the summer. In the summer when we were in for him you only have to look through the transfer thread to see the number of people calling him average and the like. This season that's obviously changed.

Sturridge and Costa both clearly are. Maybe Willian and Coutinho aren't.
Things are going to plan for you, eh? Perhaps you should wait and see how things pan out before shouting your mouth off.
Oh right, because every fecker is insightful after the event, aren't they? It's not a banker for you lot tomorrow either, so I'd heed your own advice on that one.
Ah, well. Them's the breaks. With our luck this season, mate, that result wasn't much of a surprise.
They score from a deflected free-kick from forty yards, whereas we rattle the inside of the post with a great effort. Polar opposites in terms of luck.
We'll win the Champions League and make getting fourth irrelevant anyway!

I haven't said tomorrow is a banker- I approach every match with caution. You stated above that 'You'll probably beat us at Old Trafford', you might trying to take off the red tinted specs when analysing matches.
Nothing wrong with making a prediction but stating things almost as fact when you cannot control them tends to make you look a little silly.
If a shot ever deserved to go in...
His first half was something else, the chance he created for Sturridge, his shot, his assist to Sterling.
I can't stand the goofy twat but credit where its due, he really is ugly.
He shouldn't make runs, he could just stay in one place on the pitch and shoot every time someone gives him the ball.
Ridiculously awesome this season. This what happens when player like him is focused on football rather than biting and stuff like that.

Unlucky not to score, but a good assist for Sterling. Two game goal draught now. Still, he's made 1 assist in each game. Actually, he's made at least one assist a game for 8 games straight now.
