    Best in the league by a mile.

    His net spend at Everton was £10m in 11 years.

    Coleman £60k, Arteta £2m, Cahill £1.7m, Jagielka £4m, Lescott £5m, Baines £6m, Howard £2m, Pienaar £2m........

    You said about five posts ago that Moyes hopes they will be. Has something changed?

    We've been on our knees no denying that with **** owners and ****ing Hodgson <doh>

    This season and 2nd half of last season at times Ive never seen us look so good. We need to get CL this season and then kick on if we can

    I think you've got the best strike partnership in the league. If you put that pair into any of the top half PL sides they'd be bagging sackfuls.

    Rodgers has ditched his tikitaka, and gone for counter attacking and 'get it to the front man' and those 2 are delivering big time. Behind them I think you're little better than average.

    It will hinder you.

    The last time you were in europe your league form suffered. You were effectively playing the same 11 every game because you have such a small squad.

    Granted that was the EL but the point remains, recent history suggests a Liverpool side who had been CL regulars were badly effected by the size of their squad and the same will happen again.

    Of course filling our your squad may help. Many though have never played a CL game so that adds even more pressure.

    I know you and the rest think it will be a great thing but only 2 or 3 sides in european football are capable of performing in both the league and in europe at the highest level.

    Are you any of the follwoing sides?

    Manchester United
    Bayern Munich
    Barcelona

    If not, then your league form will suffer. How badly depends.

    Disagree UIR

    Utd havent exactly been doing that have they?

    Last time we were in Europe the squad was a lot ****ter than now imo, and of course we'll add and buy well hopefully. And also be able to attract the stupid players we keep missing out on

    -------


    Agree with most of that Tobes, we can be very effective when we hunt in packs closing down as well


    Even if we lose on Sunday its ****ing depressing, but not end of the world for what we want to achieve

    Not sure about this game, we often have blips against lower league opposition who are playing a cup final

    Im referring to at any point in modern football ( modern = after the days of hooligans and piss ups ).

    I may have missed the italian sides but other than that, its very rage the winners are also league champions ( or close to being ).

    Its usually one or the other. Rafa was always a one or the other man for example. Couldnt deal with both.
