    Such a stupid argument, where would any team finish without their main goalscorer..

    Agreed. Typically strikers score the goals, stupid to think that if you take your main striker out and replace them with another striker that you aren't going to get any goals (unless you're liverpool and bring in balotelli)

    Tbh I think if we played without a goalkeeper we would be a lot lower than 11th...

    But if Liverpool played without one, they may be higher ;)

    We all know that the press will come up with anything to sell papers, but those articles are really scraping the bottom of the barrel

    Better question, can you tell us any team that would still have won the league if you took away their best goal scorers goals and related points in the last 10 years?

    No one took them away. You sold Suarez and wasted the money on **** replacements and then Sturridge (the renowned crock) got himself crocked. Blame your incompetent manager.

    If this, if that etc etc etc. I remember going to a football forum in the 80'w where Alan Hardaker was asked a question of Cardiff qualifying for Europe by winning the FA cup even before the draw was made.

    He had an answer that fits this thread too, and I quote "If your auntie had balls she would be your uncle.

    Yes.

    Chelsea would still have won the league without Lampard's goals in 2005
    Utd would still have won the league without Berbatov's goals in 2011 (although not without 'average, sulky, out of form' Rooney whose goals won us more points that year)

    Big clubs don't rely on a single player <ok>
