Rival Watch Thread Watch

OF THE TEAM - yes of course...........virtually always dictated by their resource level......

 

So the manager is irrelevant? Or is, say, 4 years not long enough for the manager to make the team he wants?

 

Would you be happy if Brendroy Hodgson focussed on a cup competition at the expense of Liverpool being relegated? It would make for a hell of a graph.

 

Wants?

Substitute that for 'can afford', it's all about the budget, right the way through the pyramid.

 

So, taking Martinez as an example, spending something like £44m shouldn't be enough to avoid relegation?

 

This thread hasn't had a graph for a while

All this Everton winning nothing talk Is terrible lol cant we talk about something more funny like Stevie Me's contract offer

And how Brendroy has said on sky today that Stevie Me was arguably the best player the Prem has seen

 

Ridiculous statement. It's in no way shape or form 'arguable', he's clearly best by miles

 

Absolutely ... and why would we be talking about Gerrard's contract in the rival thread??

 

As this is the rival thread I would just like to add this posted on our board... now we are starting to gel i would hate to pick a team from the players we have, in midfield alone i would want to pick 5 players (and that is doing Fellaini a great injustice after the way he has played) Blind, Carrick, Herrera, Di maria and Mata. This means one striker (which would be an even harder choice) and leaves people like Fellaini and Adnan out in the cold. We now have a very good squad and should improve week on week from now on.

I echo the sentiment and will stick my head out of the parapet and say we have the makings of the best midfield in the league given time.

 

Not even the best midfield in Manchester...

 

What Lucaaas said

 

Didn't say it was. It's too early to say, but there's not much there to overcome.

 

Are you joking? Blind, Carrick, Herrera and Januzaj are total ****e. Fellaini has had one decent game in 2 seasons. Mata can only play his game when Rooney is injured or banned. Di Maria does **** all because no one else matches his technical level.

 

Treble, did you expect any other response?

You are right though. Infact we are easily top 5 in terms of midfield right now.

 

Oh the old "they're all ****e" argument. I knew I'd have to wade through the imbecile responses to get to someone with a constructive response so I'll wait.

Blind is a question mark, although he's shown he is versatile. But Herrera I have no doubt will be immense for us. That isn't based on this season btw, I've watched the kid from his days in Bilbao. Di Maria and Mata are world class. With any combination including Carrick and I'm genuinely excited by the midfield we have.

 

You got a graph for this. Or wont you produce it as it makes your nonsense obvious to all?

 

I don't mind an insightful criticism mate, hence why I posted it here.

 

Youre talking to someone who claimed liverpool would have the best attack in the league without suarez. Well bar city.

 

Urgh.

You still post on here!

 

I'm struggling to think of more than 2 or 3 (in the prem that is) and a couple of those are debatable/marginal.
