We wont finish in the top four imo. Not good enough and with por signings like Luke Young on there way then we have no chance. Hopefully Dani Pacheco plays a big part in our season. That lad can become a star.

On a funny note. The guy that would have Van Der Sar over Reina :lol: :lol: Get real.

How people can write off a Liverpool team including Reina, Agger, Gerrard, Cole and Torres baffles me. Who has a stronger spine than that?

Reina Agger Gerrard Cole Torres
Cech Terry Lampard Malouda Drogba
Almunia Vermalaen Fabregas Nasri Van persie
Given Toure Barry Silva Tevez
I'd say the Arsenal, City and Chelsea ones are stronger. Along with Kirkland, Caldwell, Diame, N'Zogbia, Rodallega. :wink:

Two-time european cup winner, 3 time premiership winner. Won medals in 3 different leagues. Reina is a Barca reject who has profited due to Liverpools defensive style of play.

I agree that's a strong looking spine and I can only imagine it was a combination of the other players and manager that meant that that spine finished 7th last year.


Oh dear. You do realise that Cole didn't play for us and Agger, Gerrard and Torres played about 50% of available games don't you?

Agger and Cole? Looks like you'll still be relying on Gerrard and Torres to me.

No way I'd swap our spine as you put it for yours. I'd have Fletcher there instead of Scholes.

VDS> Reina
Vidic> Agger
Gerrard > Fletcher
Nani > Cole
Rooney > Torres

Nuff said.



Only Vidic is superior to his rival of them 5. Rooney and Torres can't be split for me.

As for the City one..

Reina > Given
Agger > Toure
Gerrard > Barry
Cole - Silva......Silva has a lot to prove in the prem
Torres > Tevez.

Arsenal

Reina > Almunia
Agger > Vermaelan
Fabregas > Gerrard
Cole > Nasri
Torres > Van Persie.


Look, I know our squad isn't good enough. My point is that IF we keep our spine fit we'll be miles better than the 7th we finished last year, good enough for 4th place IMO. If the other 6 players step up and play to their potential we could possibly do a bit better. What's so funny? 2 years ago the same team give or take a couple scored 86 premiership points. The 2 main missing players Alonso and Mascherano scored 1 goal between them all season. I know teams have improved which is why I'mnot setting my sights on top 2 or 3. I'd take top 4 and I firmly believe we are capable.

How much of Agger have you seen? What don't you like about him?
Joe Cole looked fairly decent to me when he settled the Premier League title race last season. :wink:
