Liverpool 2013/14

[Black_Panther]

I think that squad depth will hurt Arsenal & Liverpool this season. Let's be honest there isn't much past the 14th best player in either squad.

Much weaker than City, Spurs, Scum & Chelsea.

much weaker

Squad from this morning

Szczesny
Sagna
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Gibbs
Arteta
Ramsey
Rosicky
Ozil
Cazorla
Giroud

Fabianski
Monreal
Vermaelen
Jenkinson
Hayden
Gnabry
Bendtner

Missing was
Wilshere
Flamini
Podolski
Walcott
Ox Chamberlain
Diaby

Yes we are short 2-3 players but currently top of the EPL & C/L group so they must be doing something right! I beleive Wenger will buy in January if we are still around the mark & hopefully this will push us on for the rest of the season with a couple of additions.

Our squad is on par with most of those mentioned by you above, we are 2-3 players away from really challenging on all fronts

Squad depth doesn't generally become an issue when you are only around a 1/4 of the way through the season.

[El Capitano]

without any champions league or european football, the odds are in favour for liverpool to push for top 4!

Arsenal are playing very well right now
Chelsea will be there around the mark
Man City getting better and better


A fight with spurs for the 4th spot

Where's Man Utd in this scenario?

[Kim Kallstrom]

Arsenal notoriously are poor in November (averaging 1.57 points per game over history of EPL). Will be a good test.

Arsenal are notoriously poor starters to the season, maybe things have shifted this season

Surely Arsenal are notoriously great starters and usually fade away when the going gets tough?

And like last season, came home on fire when they were already out the running for the title? sounds about right.

I would love to say pushing for 4th, but I am not yet convinced with the way Moyes wants united to play.
And if we keep missing goals, its goin to be very difficult IMO

You are the very definition of band wagoner with NFI. Srs.

Man United should finish in the top 4, all things being equal this season. For all the doom and gloom, the only difference between Man United and Liverpool at present is the 1 nil home victory to Liverpool.

[Bomber]

Keep Suarez. That is all.

[Derek]

Easier said than done. They held their ground before the season, but if they get offered 50 mill + he will go.

[Nice One Cyril]

Apparently Liverpool asked Fulham to field a weakened side so that they could impress their esteemed visitor from Adelaide with an easy win.

Very sporting is BMJ, even told the boys to get the ball rolling with an oggie.

[totsreds08]

I don't think he will go mid season. Start of the season, he didn't want to be here and we kept him + he changed his attitude. Now he is happy and loving football. If we keep this up + maybe add a player or two in jan, I reckon he will definitely stay.

[Derek]

Whether he goes this season or next, he's going. One offer from Real and he will want to leave again.

[The Kings Jesta]

For $50mil+ I'd let him go if he wants to go. No different to Torres. Put Suarez in the current Madrid side and where does he play? Who will pass him the ball? Having watched a few of Madrids games this year, if it wasn't for the complete unselfishness of Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale would be stuffed. Take him out and put in Suarez, you're asking a focal point player to be a passer. Not sure, after the football we've been playing so far, that Luis would want to leave for that situation. Even if it is a case of taking Isco out for a Suarez/Ronaldo/Bale combo behind Benzema, still asking him to let go of the ball a lot more.

We need a proper wide man (or 2) with pace and dribbling skills. Moses is ok (reminding me of Babel a bit), Sterling still has so much to learn (like a first touch), Hendo is better in the middle as is Coutinho.
As we looked much better with a 4-4-2 / 4-2-3-1 last night, we need quality for the wide roles... who that is though is a tough one as most of them all got signed up this season or last season.
Need ECL next year to be able to entice players like Bakkali PSV, Lucas PSG, maybe even make a move for boyhood LFC fan Theo Walcott if he finds he can't break in to the gooner line up now that Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshire and Carzola are all playing together.

Side note, Fulham keep playing like that and they'll be relegated.

sucked in for betting on arsenal to win the multi

When did Torres come back to liverpool and disguise himself as Joe Allen? Disappointing result given the chances we had. How mirallis wasn't sent off is a joke. Shocking challenge.

Suarez missed that good chance late on with his head but Allens beats it. Agree shocking challenge

[Red-4-Life]

Great game of football, disappointed to not get the 3 points though....bloody Joe Allen and the defence didn't seem too interested in shutting down Lukaku, he had so much room all match it was getting ridiculous..Sakho should have started

You Goons are going soft (maybe you've always been like that), when the ball's in the air you have to raise your foot. His timing was out, but it wasn't as bad as those 'over the ball' challenges you see when the ball's on the deck. Yellow card was right I think.

It is a contact sport after all and Suarez seemed to run out the game OK. A couple of stud marks on his knee, whoop de doo.

[The Kop]

Yeh should have been a yellow to Suarez for diving!

I assume you meant how he WASNT sent off was a joke. He could easily have been booked a few other times during he game (that would have been second yellow), but Dowd gave some Reds players soft cards instead.
That said, was a cracking game, with nearly no tika-taka bullshit at all.

[Le King]

look at the liverpool fans all ark up
i remember you all when nani copped a shocking tackle from carragher and you all laughed at nani

suarez deserves everything he gets

[Nice One Cyril]

Quite clearly going for the ball

Stop spoiling my fun

I need cheering up after last night

[LFTWNG11]

Absolute stick on red card.

Like Rogers said, if that was Suarez making the challenge, imagine the punishment? Imagine the following outrage.

[WayneO]

Disgusting tackle by Mirallis, should of seen red! That could of been a very nasty injury. Suarez is no angel, but a tackle like that SHOULD NEVER be allowed, end of!


So many incorrect decisions lately by referees in the EPL!
Maybe the foreigners are a targeted species in EPL?

[Stitch This]

Hull City, innit.

[BIG RED]

I blame it all on the NICKY T factor

[Nice One Cyril]

Performances were always going to suffer if one of the front two got injured. With Coutinho out as well, their squad is showing it's pretty thin.
