i agree, hopefully for Pool fans he'll learn and next year you'll progress even further. A strong Liverpool is good for the prem.

I think Europe will either been a hinderance if you don't improve squad or a help as more European night atmospheres can only encourage the team to earn it again and again.

To be honest mate the CL isn't what its cracked up to be personally. It only gets intresting in the knockouts.

The benefits of the games are massive though.

We've given it a very good go this season without the quality in depth squad wise, to get us on a par with City & Chelsea we need 6 top quality players at least.

because i dont make many comments does not mean i do not look, and most articles i dont feel the need to comment
liverpool were a big team like many others in the past but not a big team nowadays
johnson always will be better in midfield, said that when he was at chelsea
only playing once a week since christmas has benefitted liverpool
saurez will most probably go to a bigger team
rodgers a good manager, but not in the special ones class, but he may get there one day, but he has made basic mistakes in trying to play against chelsea as if they were cannon fodder. the best defence needs more respect, and pool only needed a draw to garantee the league, as they would not have been so gun ho at palace, and i thought even the dim wit stevie me would have realised that against chelsea
as i stated earlier their best chance for 20 years and most probably next 20

As a Chelsea supporter, if we play like we have for a lot of this year then we won't be winning it for the next 20 years.. The special one that you mentioned is like marmite which I bloody well hate. You can only win a game if you score and I am afraid Chelsea didn't do a lot of that. The quicker Roman lets Jose go the better i think Chelsea will be. I have said it on here before and I will say it again, Jose does everything for Jose. You can't argue with Jose pedigree but let's face it the football is dour. I think we played far better under Rafa and I don't like him either.

Chelsea have been negative in the PL and CL but for the majority of the time it's had the desired effect. I think Chelsea will have to buy soon and get some younger blood in for the likes of Terry, Lampard, and others. They have some talented youngsters coming through but unlike Arsenal and to a degree Liverpool and Man Utd, how often are they really given a chance and brought through

I agree with some of that but Chelsea have got plenty of youth in the team-Oscar,Ramires,Hazard,Luiz,Willian,Azpilicueta.... & tbf Lampard hasn't really been a regular. Terry as been in good form as,Cole when played.

Fair point well made. However a lot of PL teams have never been scared to put in the real youngsters from the U18's for example and bring them on. Everton with Rooney, the Beckham, Giggs, et al side at Man Utd. Southampton always seems to have a new young talent emerging which they play and then sell on. Arsenal have been doing it for years and Liverpool have a few young bloods (Joe Allan). It's just the real big guns like City and Chelsea that never really give real youth a chance which given their recent successes in the FA Youth Cup for both seems strange.

Don't be sorry - give the Chelsea and Man UTD fans something to cheer about

Joe Allan was bought from Swansea,think he was 22 at the time. I would like to see the top teams give home grown players a chance but in the modern game they demand instant success so don't really get the chance.

So you would prefer not to buy the likes of Hazard etc and all the other players that have been bought to win you all those trophies ?

Shocking stat on SSN tonight about home grown players. The PL only has 32% of home grown players this season compared with figures in the 50's and 60's in all the comparable leagues (Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, etc)
