This does a nice job of summing up Suarez's impact on Liverpool last season.

Think his absence is being downplayed tremendously - I suppose because of Bite 3 and the huge transfer fee.

 

They looked poor vs manyoo. Tend to agree that after that losing the joint top scorer in premier league history it's going to affect them negatively, as controversial as that may be.

Qualifying for the CL again will be their aim. ANy chance of winning or even battling seriously for the league left with Suarez imo.

 

In terms of competing for the league, the additional CL games will be a bigger problem than Suarez leaving, imo.

I thought the aim for next season even with Suarez would be to retain CL football.

 

Now I think that's far more in the balance. 

 

I think most of your CL rivals have considerably improved in either personnel or suitable manager. 

 

Suarez also had that level of gravitas with other teams and the other L'pool players.

Particularly with Man U having all that free time (apart from the money-spinning friendlies, naturally). I suspect that Poch will be playing the kids rather a lot in the Europa, and maybe Martinez too.

^ that'd be idiotic though. EL winner will get CL next year, and Everton/Spurs aim in the end is to get to CL.

 

It's a totally new avenue, and be ridiculous if dismissed. Not to mention, getting into CL by winning a trophy is a lot more awesome than by finishing 3rd/4th.

 

Not sure about Spurs, but I am certain Everton will take it very seriously.

 

What do you think is more realistic and do-able...coming in the top 4 in the league or winning the EL? I'd personally be happy with 5th place finish if it meant we dropped out of CL into EL and went on to win it. Gorgeous trophy.

I don't think we'll be throwing the games at all, I just think he's going to have to be very judicious, particularly early on. Many of the squad have been at the World Cup, and so could probably do with being eased back in.

 

If only UEFA would stop letting CL clubs wander back in, I'd be more confident.

As good as anywhere a place to put this - do Liverpool really have their first six matches televised over there?

 

League only? First five it looks like to me, WBA home won't be.

 

EDIT: that's bollocks, I'm looking at future fixtures which omits the Saints game. Yes.

Now Manchester United are seemingly in the post '90 Liverpool stage, the media are dying for Liverpool to reclaim their seat at the top of the table. I enjoy watching Liverpool play, they've played with a finesse in the main since Ted Rodgers took the reins but the media representation of them goes off the scale, and to be honest,even in the preceding 20 odd years without the Titles, it's been like that, as it was when they were ruling the roost.

Can't stand them, I am surrounded by them at work and they're crawling out of the woodwork again. I bet one lad at work they wouldn't win the league last season, now he's taken me on double or quits for this season, so I have extra incentive to see them fail!

 

That and the scouse accent is like fucking nails down a blackboard.

That midfield was gash. Stevie G's hollywood ball is overrated, overused, and way past its sell-by date. Teams like Citeh will sit behind and watch that all day long without much to worry about. Markovic and Can did bring a spark to that area, so they could still eventually look good in there.
