Who is going to win the premiership title.

[chrisg]

Going through the remaining games, I have Everton v City as critical to the title

Man city 88 Points (unless Everton can nick a draw, then 86 points)
Liverpool 87 points
Chelsea 85 points


having said that............. COME ON LIVERPOOL

 

[Papas1982]

Very true. New manager took a season to find his feet and now has the team playing with an old ethos which won us many titles in the past.
Still can't believe the results from the weekend to be honest.
Just 6 more wins to go.
Come on lads.

i wonder if we'll be reading this about Moyes in the next 12 months 😃.

I have a real sneaky feeling you'll beat city, but Jose will sting you for a draw.

Think you might be right as they do have a habit of doing this.......

But have a feeling the bus might look like this after Sturridge and Suarez have finished.......

Still very exciting times.

At the start of this season I remember getting pelters from some of the Liverpool fans on here when I suggested that it wasn't too long ago when many were calling for their managers head.

Dont remember too many pool fans wanting shot of Rodgers. But agree that some weren't as impressed of their new chosen one as they're making out.

Liverpool fans including myself were very wary of appointing a manager with minimal track record and expirence at the top level

But were more than willing to give him the opportunity because we were impressed with the way he spoke about his ideas and the vision here appeared to have - it was a bumpy first season but the fans stuck by him and hopefully we will reap the rewards in the future. He still has areas to improve ( transfer market main one ) but he is fitting in nicely with the way Liverpool fans want their manager to be - part of the family.

In the past there has only ever been one manager the majority of fans wanted gone - Hodgson, and that wasnt just because of the results and the shockingly poor football he played - the way he acted , the way he spoke about the club and the fans - it wasnt fitting for our club. He was the wrong appointment in every sense of the word.

About right, there were a very very few who wanted him out early doors. There were some who weren't greatly impressed early last season, but the large majority have been willing to give him time. Hardly any calling for his head though - at least by matchgoers.

Don't judge Liverpool (or most other fans) by the loud ones on forums, twitter,facebook etc.

Different beast to your matchgoing fans who invest time, money and emotion in going to matches.

I changed opinion at the weekend and now think Liverpool will win the league, which will be a victory for coaching over finance, relatively speaking.

Have to agree. I'm not a regular match going fan (living in Cornwall and finances prevent me going!) but I always thought Rodgers had a good idea on how he wanted things to go. He did have a few troubles tactically to start with but has learned quickly and adapted very very well. He's got the whole team believing in themselves and their ability to win matches and win them well.
With all the criticism of the amount of goals the defence are conceding at the moment I do remember a few years ago when Utd lived and won the title with the same mentality of you score 3 and we'll score 4, normally coming in the last 10 minutes or injury time with the phrase "Fergie time" being born. Yes a few more clean sheets would be nice but not essential with the goal scoring prowess of the front men.
We took the record on Sunday for the most games with 4 goals or more being scored in the premiership with 12 for the season. I can see there being at least a couple more to add to that record too hopefully against Chelski and City.

i was a little bit apprehensive to start with, but after the January transfer window last year the team really did start to look good.

strange statement IMO. Last year getting Sturridge and Courtinho for what he did was genius. In the summer he had deals lined up for Eriksson and Willian, but we got done by teams offering bigger wages and champions league football. Be interesting to see what happens this year seeing as we will champions league football to offer, along with the extra revenue that brings, be even better if we were champions too....:whoo:

But then we have players like Aspas , Alberto , Moses , Sahin , Toure , Cissohko , Sahko

I dont think the price was down to BR and they have been good deals those two but we spent a good deal of money and from the money he has had its not the best return so far

And im not sure about any deals for Erikson being sorted

 

[Big-Dog]

To original thread I must reply that as a neutral I am enjoying the Premier League more than ever. I am a Burnley Fan and hoping we can hang on with 5 of our best players out so maybe interested in staying up next year (that would be amazing as well as improbable).

I must confess up to a few weeks ago I would have gone for City but now Liverpool are looking better and the belief grows. However who with the exception of a hardened Evertonian who would not like Steve Gerrard to win the only one medal missing from his collection......... well there is the other one but that is about as possibly as Burnley staying up if they make it to promotion A WORLD CUP MEDAL!!

Hit em Straight ..... ish

As long as its not Man City or Chelsea , injuries to Ramsey , Walcott & Wiltshire have cost Arsenal , as long as Stevie G and dive a lot Suarez play the last 6 games they be fine , so its Liverpool for me , Key games be Liverpool V Man City & Chelsea at Anfield

 

[MadAdey]

The inquiries had been and offer accepted,it was just waiting to move onto sorting things out with the player, same as the Willian deal. So the tough part had been done and the player was going to discuss personal terms. But Chelsea came in with a bigger pay packet and Champions League football, Spurs offered Europa League with a nice pay packet. We offered a reasonable pay packet and not much more other than promises that we would do better than 7th this year.

Your lack of a top class Striker at the beginning of the season put paid too your season.

The Willian deal is correct

But Eriksen - lots of speculation but no offer to Ajax or player :thup:

I hear this a lot from arsenal fans, how about at some point or another every single defender has missed some games, never being able to field your first choice back 4, on a regular basis, Gerard missing a few games, Sturridge spending I think it was about 6 weeks out, Suarez missing the first 6 games, Lucas has had a bit of time on the sidelines. Everyone gets injuries, it's all part of the season and Liverpool unlike Chelsea or City really do not have the quality in depth, but they have got through it.

 

[G1BB0]

for me, watching Liverpool I get the feeling that they really are a team, you can see the pleasure for each other when the team scores, the runs they make for each other, the shift they put inas a unit.

If, and its still a big if, we can maintain that work rate and team spirit then we will win it.

I am extremely worried about the Chelsea and City games as our defence, although looking much more solid may well struggle against those 2 teams.

Thankfully some fans have wised up to this lie peddled out by le manager. Injuries are part of the game and something that affects every team, not just Arsenal. The real issue is the lack of squad depth. Most of the fans can see it. But not the one who is paid £7m a year.

Oh and actually Arsenal have been exceedingly lucky that Giroud, as average as he is, has stayed fit all season!

A mate at work has been saying that for the last few weeks. With Everton hot on the heels of Arsenal, he is so worried about loosing the only striker they have.
