They have improved, but their main improvements are simply the improvements in Suarez and Sturridge and their successful partnership with the kid up front. They have benefited by not having any European commitments (they had 12 EL games last season).

They are not serious title candidates,.

LGJM, I know that there are Liverpool fans on here who won't bring this one up, because they don't want to tempt fate, but this little gem from yourself is currently miles ahead in the 'post of the year' contest....

Down to us now to stop them. Liverpool cannot win the league.

Well, they can!

But you need'nt worry. I suspect chelsea might sneak in now and get the job done. Amazing after all the hype surrounding city and liverpool.

When chelsea go to the liverpool, mourinho will have them set up perfectly. They won't leave the door open like the attacking minded city, arsenal and tottenham have done in recent times. It will be tight as a drum first 30, with chelsea looking lively on the break.

Chelsea will win 1-0, with liverpool fans in tears on the terraces. City will drop points again on merseyside, against everton and chelsea will see out their other games to taje the title.

When was that posted? Because in fairness going into the new year liverpool had lost away at city and chelsea in quick sucession over christmas and were off the pace. I think at that stage most people would have had them down as top 4 contenders rather than real title contenders.

But then they just started winning games, they won some more.....and some more. All of a sudden the end is in sight and they are top of the league with it in their own hands.

It was posted in the run up to the Man Utd/Liverpool game at Old Trafford .....

If I have a choice between the world ending and Liverpool winning the league, I'd choose the world to end.

I hoped and prayed that they'd have fallen away. To their credit they are still in there and are now favourites. If we don't sort ourselves out in the second half they're even bigger favourites...

2nd half starting....

Why do you have such a pathological hatred of liverpool?

Deep down, do you wish you had their history?

Because they are the most bitter set of hypocritical ****'s in the world.

No. I respect their history and their awesome record of achievement.

But I'm 100% CFC and am happy with the history we have - good, bad and mediocre.

Good win but season is far from over.

Still don't think we'll win the league.

Couldn't believe how static we were after going two up today. The last ten mins of the first half and most of the second half we were very slack, we didn't even counter with much intent which allowed Citeh to attack at will. Very glad we won with such controversy today. We played Citeh away after Christmas and played very well, we had a certain goal chalked off for Sterling being offside when he wasn't, so I was pleased that things 'evened' themselves out today.

Won't believe we can win the league 'til we're holding the trophy and Brendan's wearing the crown, but today was a huge step for us.

Won't be making any calls on the Chelsea game. It'll be a huge game, I'm just glad we're at home for it. Hope Sturridge is fit.
