You know, I am not sure if Liverpool won the Premiership this year they could necessarily repeat in the following years.
If they win, it will be because of the freakishly good form of their two strikers, something which the law of averages and the history of the game suggests is not sustainable over the long term.
It is a myth that Rodgers has suddenly become a footballing genius and that Liverpool have a platform for sustained success.
It will be a freak result, based on the unsustainable form of two strikers, the absence of Manchester United, and the inexplicable inability of Chelsea or Man City with their resources to maintain a challenge throughout the season.
We (collectively) are guilty of giving them too much credit.
They wont stand still. They'd spend a lot if they were champions. At the very least they'll have made a massive psychological breakthrough, and at this elite level it counts for a lot. As I said, they 'could' repeat a title win if they did win this season. And we all know the potential for them to stay at or near the top.
In many ways we've lived a charmed existence for a quarter of a century almost as they have underachieved massively. There's no harm in wanting that period extended though. And if they are denied this season they'll find it almost impossible to play in the CL and mount a PL title challenge.
Bottom line: I resent being seen as a Quisling when all that I'm interested in is safeguarding Everton from being steamrollered by a corporate giant next door.
