Are you telling me if you get them playing together they couldn't challenge?
Half of the defence isn't good enough, the forward isn't built to play the way they do, Bellamy's too old and Downing doesn't create enough goals. Oh and Adam's overrated.
They sort all that out and they're a shoe-in for the title though
Reverse Gerrard's ageing as well. Easy.
They're a lot weaker now, though. They don't have players of Gerrard's and Torres' ilk when they were firing on all cylinders.
Have an awful feeling they'll spawn their way into 4th, mind, since they're, well, spawny bastards.
As I said, it's the lack of effort that'd irk me.
When I see Louis "oh and it's dragged wide from 18 yards" Saha waste another chance, I'm pissed off but I'll get over it. What doesn't go away so easily is when I see him sauntering about - often not even that - when a simple few seconds of pressing at least would've made an opposition player rush what they were going to do. It's pathetic.
I saw him do the bare minimum you'd expect of a professional footballer up front.
He sauntered around, held it up a few times, and lost it/gave up a lot more times. Incredible he's sustained a career in this league for so long. It's like an episode of 'Faking It' but the production team ran out of money and forgot to tell Shola to return to his normal life of professional apple-loving cyclist.
What's happened to that Argie (?) lad they signed on loan?
I see Beckford has done well since he left mind
For about a minute and a half on his debut, he resembled a footballer. So I guess it's not all bad.
Was going to say, an Inter win makes it very interesting at the top.
Juve 38
Milan 37
Udinese 35
Lazio 33
Inter 32
and Inter are the ones most in form. 6 wins in a row is it?
Napoli are unfortunately inconsistent this season, they don't look like they're in with a chance. CL has taken its toll on their league form.
