DANNY MURPHY: No Messi, no Premier League title for City
DANNY MURPHY - I think either Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola will be champions again in May but I believe the latest twist in Lionel Messi's on-off move to City swings the advantage back to Anfield.www.dailymail.co.uk
If you read the whole article I do think he has a point. I think it’s quite clear we need a new forward to come in and be clinical in front of goal. Messi would have been special and bridged the gap & more. Now that appears off if we don’t get another top forward I really don’t see us winning this league and I don’t think it’s a stretch to say we might have strong competition for 2nd place.
Would happily be proved wrong but you have to judge off last season and a strong defence alone would not have made the difference for us.
