They’d make a fortune if they had shirt with “it’s our year” “it’s maybe our year” “it’s not out year” “it’s our year next year”
 
Anyone not thinking they will run us close or have a great chance is deluded. They have a great front 3 and don’t concede.
 
They’ve a brilliant first 11, nowhere near our squad depth but if they have some luck with injuries, they could well win the thing.
They’ll be nearer to us, that’s for sure
 
I have it on good authority that is id their year - we might as well be gratefulto be second in every competitive tropheee chase as we don't have salad!
Asked 1 what would happen if Salad boy got injured... The look was epic. NEVER GOIN TO HAPPEN LA. (Very unfortunatelyit WILL generally just happen to any player )- except red scouse ones apparently.
I think they know it would all go slightly Neverton without Salad.
 
Exeter Blue I am here said:
It’s not just Van Dyke that’s made a difference, although along with Mane, he is the player I’d most like to see out of action for an extended period. Gomez and Terrence Trent-Darby now afford them some serious pace at the back, and Allison is light years ahead of either of the clowns they had in goal last season. Palace and Brighton are exactly the types of teams who’ve been able to cause the dippers problems in the last couple of seasons, by pinging it over the demented press and having powerful runners like Zaha bear down on exposed defenders. I watched the Palace game, and VVD and Gomez won every challenge, every foot race and virtually every header. That they’ve kept 3 clean sheets and yielded very few chances, is no surprise.

And as regards the midfield’s lack of top drawer creativity, they simply don’t need it. Milner, Henderson, Keita, Wijnaldum et al, are there to harangue and harry the opposition like rabid dogs and turn the ball over, whilst still being good enough to then quickly release the trio up front who do all the damage. The dippers aren’t really a counterattacking team IMO, but rather one that presses insanely in and around the halfway line, so that they’re seldom exposed themselves at one end, but leave Mane, Salah and Firmino a decent amount of space to operate in ahead of them. It’s no surprise that they beat us 3 times last year (shit referees or not), because our possession game high up the pitch is perfect for them. I don’t think we can expect them to drop many points against non top 6 opposition like they’ve done in the past, and we can ill afford the kind of sloppy performance we served up yesterday. They’ll push us all the way, despite the complacent piss taking from many on this thread

Don't forget though, Benteke was still playing for Liverpool ;-)
