ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[toffeejack]

Maybe so, but how long will that last? They will be media favourites soon enough and they will be popular amongst the neutrals again.

I honestly think they will have a good season this year, they will push for 4th, but get 5th.

Can't believe Blues are being so sure of us finishing above them again, and even if we somehow did, they will have a better season anyway. Finish above them in 05, they win Champions League, last year, finish above them, they beat us 3 times and win a trophy.

Its the way of the world.

im just basing it on the fact that our squad was terrible at the start of last season and yet we still managed to finish above them, with a string of fantastic results. we currently have a better squad now than what we finished the season with.

then look at theirs

INS
Borini, Allen, Cole?

OUTS
Kuyt, Aquilanni, Bellamy, Maxi, Carrol?

the quality of the players out is what better than those that have come in, and they also have to adapt to this new tika-taka ****, of which they don't have the right players in place. gerrard is also not the attacking force he was. also agger may be on his way

Think Allen is a very good signing for them

I think he's a neat little play maker. So obviously Stevie G will be bossing him all over the place until he's sh!te.......

I haven't seen Borini so can't comment, but they're outs aren't exactly great, they are getting rid of deadwood there.

They have a better manager from last year as well. Honestly we won't finish above them

It's almost like they've some jinx over us

I'd be made up with a signing like Allen, don't get why all the blues are taking the pi$$ out of it, would love Everton to have transfer money 2 spend

Its a decent signing, but the cost to them (in terms of reputation as well as financial) might be excessive.

And if it is, it doesn't matter, they will still have £20m to spend next summer

watched him at swansea, looked good in the championship, but would not rate him better than mid-table prem. played against joe allen when i was younger, we lost 4-1, he didnt even score ffs

Jordan Henderson MKII. No way is he worth that much. Very mediocre for Team GB too. Rodgers is not pleasing the kopites, that's for sure. They are putting a brave face on it right now, but they are ready to go ballistic at the first sign of 'under-achieving'.

 

[Beagers]

Joe Allen=The new Mike Milligan for blues of a certain vintage!! made up they've gone for him!!

 

[Cena]

Watch him be boss, not a chance they will have as bad a season as last.

Sadly I suspect you might be right but the key is how they start , certain players and staff haven't bought into Rodgers or his 'ethos' so the key for me is how they start. We need them to have a bad start and not impress in the first half dozen league games and then let's see how that effects them because certain people within the club are waiting for him to stumble and the likes of Allen and borini who are seen as 'his men' need to perfom For him as well. Like I say fingers crossed

I'll settle for that!

Cena can see it a mile off

They will have a good season its nailed on, I will say they will beat us twice and win the CC or FA cup

Allen is a good player IMO maybe not worth 15m but atleast they are buying good players, We make do with picking at the scraps of the dead carcass of Rangers F.C

People would be over the moon if we spent £15m on a player, I wish we could, at least they can.
