AlanSkÃrare Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Spurs are looking very good, Arsenal will get going and Liverpool - hurts to say it - all have quality superior to ours. But we're in harmony, and if we start winning away games and get results against the top teams. Who knows. Wow, the hybris is really kicking in now. Well, it has been a while.

Ikon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Wonder how "good" Liverpool would be without Suarez though? By a mile their best player imo, apart from him they aren't exactly wow in my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Tbh, I have no idea how good this side is, it could range from being in a relegation battle to qualifying for the europa league, guess well know around january. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Wonder how "good" Liverpool would be without Suarez though? By a mile their best player imo, apart from him they aren't exactly wow in my eyes. I said a few minutes ago if you put Suarez in our squad we have the better squad. Their midfields shockingly over rated and Carragher is just shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their midfields shockingly over rated and Carragher is just s****. Our squad/team certainly has potential to be a very good one IF we keep the core we've got and add a quality striker and LB and some cover for CB. Those three additions should be top priority before anything else as it stands atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 A top quality striker and a top quality left back and our first team is in there with a shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Our squad is too thin to compete for much higher than 7th, but that would be great and with a little luck possibly achievable, but I think we've had a great start, look definitely on course for a top 10 finish atm, but once injuries start to hit I think we'll have a tougher period of the season to come, and we've got to make sure that doesn't drag us down.

Dr Venkman Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 With a bit of defensive cover and a top class striker we'd be shoe ins for 7th given our form so far. Bit of a shame,if defensive injuries hit we'll nose dive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shame,if defensive injuries hit we'll nose dive Imagine the boost a new striker could give us in January if we're still hovering around the top 6-8 places? Definitely need another centre-back, preferably one who can play full-back as well who's name isn't James Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Santon Tiote Marveaux Cabaye Jonas Ben Arfa Ba Harper Raylor Williamson Kadar Ferguson Guthrie Abeid Vuckic Obertan Best Samiobi Our squad isn't going to realistically get much better than that without dropping some serious cash (which isn't going to happen). We really do have a great chance of 7th this year. We may even get another striker and full back in January which will complete us IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 A striker and full back would complete us? CB is probably where we're the thinnest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 A quality left back. Other then that mostly just get quality in depth and we can compete on all fronts we're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I know it's early days but there's absolutely nowt outside the top 5 or 6 that has really impressed me this season. We're compact at the back, hard-working throughout and have that spark coming into the team now. 7th is ambitious but certainly not impossible. Our achilles heel will be injuries.

Ikon Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 And Liverpool aren't that good without Suarez, not that i think we'll end up higher than them like, but not totally impossible, depends on injurys as already been mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
