Title Favourites Liverpool Lose - Again

Really quite embrassing bitter article really. No one at Liverpool thought we were title favourites and if a few hacks make misguided predictions then so be it, it's clear to all of us at Liverpool that we're players short. In terms of Red Nose's predictions, let's hope he's proved as right with this one as when he proclaimed after the 4-1 drubbing that Utd were the better team, or that they were the best team in Europe shortly before the Barca annihilation, or that Wes Brown was in fact the best defender in England. S**te article Zae, very bitter and misguidedly aimed at Liverpool after a few hacks made poor predictions that we'd win the league.

Sorry mhollinworth but we are the best team in the UK. Check the facts and you'll see fergie was right.Championships are not won by logic, where if A beats B, and C beats A, then C is better than A and B. You are suppossed to have the best keeper, the best forward, and generally be the best according to your Rafa, so my suggestion is to win something before you talk. Fergie, in my opinion has won some bragging rights. And Astonian Villan,i think you are right. I noticed it as well. Torres was on the floor every 5-10 minutes complaining. I'll wait and see now whether he gets the same "treatment" ronaldo used to get.

What exactly did Ferguson predict for Liverpool?

mhollinworth Stop talking out of your rectum. Since March this year all we have heard is Scouse Scum will firstly pip United to the title in 08/09. In case you missed it despite your best efforts didn't happen! We heard Alonso was the best player ever and now apparently he isn't. Then all summer we heard that Scouse Scum will easily get the same mammoth points total as last year and get the same results against the big four. Well like Zae said 3 games 2 defeats 1 home and 1 away. Championship winning form indeed. Dippers been running their mouths all summer and now things ain't going their way, "Only deluded fans thought they would win the league." This stretches beyond the journos because your fans genuinely believed you would walk the league this year. You're battling for 3rd/4th this year and already lost to one of your rivals for that position Villa! Last year was a one off. Surprised only know people have noticed the diving as part of Torres game. It's always been there if you watch him instead of reading a red top! Well done Villa by the way.

Hey up, Spurs fan here just nosing about, I think that Liverpool's squad depth is a cliche, but its very very true. Things obviously weren't going their way against ourselves or Villa, so who do they have on the bench to make an impact? Voronin? Babel? Its unfortunate for them, but I think Rafa has to take some of the blame. They do spend money, they don't have a lot for a club of that stature, but spending £18m on a right back (albeit a good one) was ridiculous. They had problematic areas, one being another striker, another being a left back. Arbeloa isn't a brilliant player, but he's not bad. Not bad at all so I don't think there was a need to prioritise. Up front they could have bought Tuncay for about £8m. Again not an amazing player, but he can change games and give them options. I personally think they were rash with Keane too. To not even give him a full season was poor. To not replace/upgrade him was even worse. Spending £20m on Aquilani also has me scratching my head. Good player though he is, £20m is a lot of money, and to spend it on someone who might have trouble adapting anyway, and one that regularly only manages to play 25 games a season is just strange. If they still had Keane, and spent the £38m they had on 4 or 5 players then they would have been better off.

I dunno... You guys lost against burnley, you've only got three more points. And liverpool have lost to spurs who are in form and villa who are a top 7 side atleast. You only just beat b'ham and lost to burnley. Promoted sides... This article should be written in six months time.
