Winning Everton 2-0 at the time of writing. Should be now be worried of them and consider them top 4 rivals, or not?
I wouldn't be too worried. Everton should have had a couple themselfs by now. I think they will finish 7 or 8th.
Not sure yet but it's at least got to the stage where we need to be supporting the opposition when they play (even today).
Let's see when they get to United, Chelsea, City, Tottenham away, and us. With that being said, we can say well they haven't done this and that but we need to make sure we take care of our business and take care of them 2x.
Question ( after he just put the ball anywhere).... di we get rid of players such as Guthrie, Hammil, Warnock too early? Hammil now features for wolves, Guthrie has been at Newcastle for a minute now and Warnock is an established LB for Villa. Just a thought.
Just puttin the hook out there, see what the thinking was. I will say we probably could have done with warnock as I didn't see Insua, Knoch, or anyone better than him after Riise left ( dossena too)
Hammil and Guthrie are back-up players for Wolves and Newcastle respectively. And Warnock is a solid Premeir League left-back. I always thought Paul Konchesky was a solid Premier League left-back... I couldn't see them making an impression in the Liverpool team to be honest.
See a bit of debate started! How there are not more goals in this game btw, want everton to snatch a point here, R. Taylor already has a goal so FP is good to go!
I agree that we should've kept Hammill. Instead Rafa gave Nabil ****ing El Zhar a new contract. What a disgrace that was. I disagree with the other two though, with Guthrie we had Lucas, Mascherano, Alonso and Gerrard all ahead of him at the time plus we were trying to sign Barry at the time and with Warnock we had Riise as first choiec left back and had just signed Aurelio so there was no real chance for him to play many games, it was better all round taking the money.
Was Momo in that team as well or was he gone by then? He was good and then the eye injury f***ed him up. El Zhar, what a woeful player to put on the shirt! Always a wonder if Aurelio wasn't so injury prone how good he could have been, so solid when he was/is healthy. That Newcastle defense is there to be scored on btw.
Next 3 Fixtures. Saturday, 19 November 2011 Barclays Premier League Man City v Newcastle, 15:00 Saturday, 26 November 2011 Barclays Premier League Man Utd v Newcastle, 15:00 Saturday, 3 December 2011 Barclays Premier League Newcastle v Chelsea, 12:45 If they pick up 3 or more points from these fixtures then they may be a problem.
Momo had gone IIRC. And its sad Aurelio's career has been killed by injuries really, he could've been such a great player for Liverpool and Brazil. I suppose thats why we got him for free in the first place, because Valencia wouldn't offer a new contract to someone who had such an awful medical record! Agree on the Newcastle defence too, I don't know how they have the best defence (I believe) in the Premiership. They always looks like conceding goals if you ask me, somehow they manage not to though.
Don't worry fellas, we won't get 4th. Our starting XI could probably challenge for it if we had them all season in this current form, but the depth is too thin and I imagine it'll eventually knock us down a few spots.
