I am alone in thinking Liverpool will do well this season?

no you are not the only one. but it soesnt mean u are right.

You're the one who needs to behave G1. Talking up a promising youngster you've barely seen play as the greatest defender ever to wear the shirt.

Sexual tension, imo.

i trust my judgement

take lucas a few years ago

i dnt trust yours.....remember 1st sunday of october last year

liverpool will re-take their rightful place in the Top 4 this season

i think we will go closer....3rd maybe second

Pick the one player you (and I) rated early doors contrary to popular opinion as proof you are some kind of super scout...... and conveniently forget about the others you've got wrong. I suppose you won't be mentioning your assessment of the likes of Aquilani who you said was going to be a great? Or was it that he just never got the chance?

I'm not saying Coates won't be a top player. I like what I've seen of him. but to suggest he is currently better than Agger (for whom he would be the natural replacement IMO) is just ridiculous.

currently no but he will be....when he is given a run of games.

i also think he will be better than skrtel too!!

will Cole get a look-in?

Took me the sum total of 20 seconds to find this gem. Think I'll leave it there about your 'judgement'

on aquilani..oh well i got one wrong

I'm glad he never found the balls to let that midfield darken the doors of Anfield!

what was it you said youd do if Danedream won the Arc?

find the david villa one when he was at zarragossa

Gentlemen:

Whatever happened to the friendly club ???

to be fair though if gerrard was partnership minded ie.seeing when alonso was isolated and not drifting too far away he would have played a lot better imo.

neither are good enough in the middle though


Yeah that Alonso is sh1te in the middle!

We call it banter round here Nobby

this is friendly banter.

ccm said he would leave the furm btw if Danedream won last years arc.

i put up a good case for her....but for some reason he just dismissed it

to be fair alonso cost us the league the year we challenged.

if you want to talk a bit more technical about the game your welcome but im playing poker right now so another time.

fundamental problems having alonso as the deep lying midfielder.......all ill say is even id fancy my chances beating him on the counter

You must be some player Jockey.

and thers me having 3 grand on arsenal to finish higher then liverpool going by a lot of comments on this forum ive down my money

Interesting bet dr, before the transfer market closes.

Can you talk me through the team you wanted Rafa to play before. You know the one with a midfield of Babel, Plessis, Earring and El Zhar... That's the kind of technical chat I'd like.

My Danedam remark was tongue in cheek... And I said I'd give up punting, not the forum. Obviously something you didn't get. But then I imagine you have never seen a horse win, you didn't fancy, have you?

Couldn't call that bet dr. I think it will be closer than last year, but as Solano says, will all depend on what happens yet IMO. If RVP goes, I think we can run them very close, even if I do think Cazorla could prove to be the buy of the summer.

make arsenal a 2t5 chance will go in again if the price still there before the season starts,but that depens on the tranfer buys and sells

Arsenal were woeful (from memory) early doors last year.

They'll benefit from a full year of Arteta and I think I read Wilshire will be fit in October too?  Giroud and Podolski should both be good signings.

What price were they Dr?

sorry cant catch me dont rate liverpool atall. looks like the days when you brought in world class players are long gone

took 8t15 with corals was still there 3days ago

Fwiw we outplayed them both games last season. Even if RVP stays, I can't see him having another season like that. Single handed,y got them the three points at our place and plenty of others.

8/15 would be way too short for me, at this stage of the transfer window mate.

RVP is due an injury CCM.  Their midfield looks strong though: Arteta; Carzola; Song; Wilshire; The Ox etc....

the only chance liverpool mite have is when they play theses thurs night games they drop 10 players atleast if they put at a strong team out for theses games they have no chance

thats the great thing about betting we all got our own opinion,the only thing i will say in my defence when i go all in on a bet i dont get it wrong very very oftern

I would hope anyone going 'all in' on bets dosent lose very often.

Aye, all about opinions dr.

Good luck.

thank you solano1, any match bets you fancy yourself

I've only had the one bet so far mate.

A speculative (although I think it has a chance) few quid on West Brom to be relegated at 9/2.

Won a few quid on a tip today, so might top it up tomorrow.

i was looking at sunderland and villa for a small fun bet  be lucky solano1

That would also be a difficult one to call, imo.  Both got fragile squads and could finish anywhere between about 7th and 15th, dependent on injuries.

Took Mcilroy on last night for Top European.

played for 6th place on the golf, please god g mcdowell or poulter come to your rescue

Petterson would be better.  I've got a bit of him at 22's.

GMac just chipped out of the rough, through the green and into the sand.

off now got to take the greyhounds for a walk in the early in the morning

off now got to take the greyhounds out early in the morning thats better

I think Liverpool will be worse this season, though might not necessarily finish lower or as bad, as Arsenal will be weaker again and i doubt Newcastle will be so good. God Knows what Spurs will be like either.

We wont be worse, Allen and Borini are quality additions, Lucas is fit, he was a huge loss for us last season, Gerrard looks fit and sharp for the first time in in at least two years. As long as our two centre backs dont leave we will challenge for 4th imo.

I think they will do better than people would expect by just looking at the team on paper. I think Southampton, West Ham and Norwich will go down so Liverpool should stay up.

Liverpools biggest improvement this summer has to be getting rid of Kenny Dalglish imo.

But they had no Euro footy last season so you'd expect their injury list, due to more games, being a bit more of a headache.

Arsenals start to last season was their worst in something like 80 years, but a huge part of that was down to our late transfer dealings and HUGE injury list. Whether people take that on board is completely up to them, but thats what happened.

RvP will be a big loss if he goes, I personally not bothered at all, but there is a huge assumption being made that another striker wont score the goals. Our midfield create so many chances our striker, whoever they are, will be expected to get at least 18-20. RvP's outstanding quality got him to the magical 30.

Surely to god we'll be better than last season and it's not unreasonable to say we've got a sniff of 4th place.

re this thread, I'm tempted to put a few quid on Arsenal for the title. Apart from the Van Persie situation they've got a settled squad this time round and they've been smart in the transfer market getting Podolski and Giroud in and then Cazorla who's a brilliant signing that could really transform them.

reverting to scouring for previous posts

i think that one was in relation to a certain game ....i mean come on as if i would have left out lucas ;)

you can be as equivocal as you like but i aint falling for it

I think they will continue to be over rated, along with Chelsea,
and are prime sells on the points spreads IMO.

*** MID-TABLE MEDIOCRITY IS THAT WAY ***

depends if you are using last season as a yardstick.

it would be foolish to imo

A potentially significant piece of news, not concerning this game but perhaps one of the teams in it. Liverpool are playing a friendly against Bayer Leverkusen today, but have not included Manchester City target Daniel Agger in their line-up.

or skrtel or johnson

they must be off too

No one would want to buy those 2 though.

Agger is your best defender.

Didn't you think it was more significant that he played on Thurs and cup tied himself for CL?

ok, apparently that rule is a grey area and he may not be cup tied, even though the comms on Thurs said he would be!

It's not a grey area. The rule is you can't play in the same European competition for another club. He's free to play in the Champions League.

aint going through this again.

skrtel is the better defensive player of the two

No way Jose.

I saw you a fair few times last season and Agger is about the best centre half in the league for my money.

I'll need to see an official rule on this to be sure now, I've already got burned taking the comms word for it the other day.

I believe that's false EMG.

You can play in the Europa League qualifiers for one team, and the Europa League 'proper' for another.

Nah Solano, with the authority he spoke with in assuring me its not a grey area and very much black and white then i would assume he is correct otherwise he'd be a bit of a plank.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/2012/07/11/nufc-chiefs-keen-to-sort-out-demba-ba-s-future-72703-31368471/

Bottom paragraph.

GI - you are alone in thinking Skirtel is better than Agger amongst us Reds.

If Agger stays and we buy a quality wide player we can challenge for 4th. If Agger goes and we don't sign a pacey wide player then 5th o 6th is more realistic.

But for 100% sure we will be better than last year.

I don't know about qualifiers EL rule.

But I know playing in EL doesn't disqualify you from playing Champions League anymore. There was a player last season who did it. I can't rememeber his name though.

You are correct on that score.

I don't know about qualifiers EL rule.

Could it be a bit of a grey area?

50 shades of it imo

Mr E a very good judge of a defender IMO.

I expect L'pool to do better than last season,
but not by as much sa some people think. They
are invariably over rated and I don't expect
them to be this season also. Different manager,
but same players more or less.

Same players more or less? Lucas missed most of the season with injury. Suarez missed a quarter of the season with bans. Borini and Allen and a completely different formation mean we will be very, very different this season IMO. I'm not saying I am positive we will do better, but things will certainly be very different.

Adam and Henderson played regularly and Carroll played a fair bit.  I expect those three to figure hardly at all.

Who have they signed ? I remember this time last season, what 'pool
were going to do under Dalglish and it seems there are similar
expectations now but I don't see them having a better squad, therefore
around 55 points in my estimation. GL though.

I predict plenty of possession and plenty of draws for Liverpool and 6-8th as a finishing position.


Early days but Rodgers is keeping up his stats from other clubs. Lots of possession and plenty of draws.
Will it continue? Are Liverpool supporters happy with the start made (not the lack of wins obviously but the possession football being played)
Has anyone formed the early opinion that Allen plays far too many sideways and backwards 5 yard passes, when more attacking options are on, to somewhat distort his opta stats?

Was hoping everyone would have forgot about this thread!

They might come good yet. Do what we did last year.

as a respected forum member Mr Eboue you can't really be ridiculed for the post as you had a disclaimer in there :

"with one or two more signings they will surprise a few"

Fantastic themover

I posted this on the promise that they might actually buy a striker!

Not win a trophy?

eboue is brendas bitch

There's always next year.

bring back rafa

8th or 9th at best and i think that would be a fantastic result for liverpool considering their current level of ability

Have to they have started off quite poorly, and would expect them to struggle to actually win the title from this  , but third place looks a minimum

probably be top by december

  Somebody else must have thought so ?

Eboue = CLUELESS

mugs will always be mugs

remember some wally putting 20k on them for the title............ on the radio at the start of the season

Arsenal have really lowered the bar so that a number of mid table teams are in with a shout of coming 4th.
I cant see Liverpool doing it though.

buzzer's early prediction looks very good now. only 7 pts off 4th but still, no chance imo

.

Weighed in, weighed in

Think Mr Eboue was right. Liverpool have done well.

Crikey I forgot about this.

I didn't

Maybe next season? or the one after that-repeat

You were ahead of your time Mr E, that's all. Nearly won the league the season after

Haha I knew!
