    The difference with Arsenal is the shortcomings are clear, the inability to defend set pieces, Centre Half/ves and Goalkeeper needed, an ill-disciplined (Defensive) Central Midfield in obvious need of recruitment, a Left Winger/Midfielder, and a genuine competitor for van Persie's place

    Sort that, and you will have a great chance of winning the Leagues

    Liverpool don't exactly have to start again, but overall the Squad is very weak.

    Don't think we (United) have made great signings to be fair.

    I think your recent signings have been good apart from Henderson.

    We don't have to buy a new goalkeeper and I don't think we need a new CB (although I am in a minority in this) but I would agree with you about the other positions. That isn't the argument though, I was saying how we should be worried by man utd.

    I agree that Utd will be team to beat next season, they have made some good signings so far and IF they get a good CM then they will have a very good squad. I don't think they are unbeatable and hope it all goes wrong for them I would rather any other team win the league.

    Lets put it another.In the second half of the season Man United finished 4th in points accumulation.Chelsea,Liverpool and Arsenal in that order picked up more points.So in that respect Man United were not the most outstanding team.
    Did they play the best football in the league,again the answer is no,that award goes to Arsenal.If I were a neutral,I would watch Arsenal every week.They need to grow a pair.And thats the reason why they didn't win anything and won't win anything until they do so.

    Well thanks for saying that and I would pick liverpool to win the league over any of the other potential challengers (apart from us obviously) but that doesn't mean man u are rubbish.

    To all the helpful fans of other clubs who like to point out the size of the task ahead of us- thank you, we'd never have guessed.
    On topic- I have only a passing interest in who other clubs sign. To say Utd ( and others) are dangerous is blindingly obvious. My concern is who we buy to help us mount a serious challenge to them. I don't expect it to be done in public so who knows what's going on behind the scenes? I hope it isn't done in haste. As has been pointed out, the international window hasn't even opened yet.
    I think we need to reserve judgement for a while yet.

    Liverpool won't be held to ransom over players.

    -------------------------

    You spent £51 million on two players with 2 seasons of experience in the top flight, if thats not held to ransom i do not know what is?

    They aren't rubbish,but they aren't as good as some people would make you believe,and their humiliation by Barcelona proved that.The thing is,if you swarm around their central midfield and bully and harass them,they are useless.Not every team in Europe plays like Schalke.Arsenal did it,and won,Chelsea did it and won,Liverpool beat them to a pulp at Anfield.Man United until they sign that much needed midfielder will continue to submit to teams that swarm around their midfield and bully them.They can't handle it.
    Liverpool have flaws too,and this is being honest,they've got Man Uniteds mental toughness,but they don't have the flair,however that flair can be signed,the mental toughness is something that has been drilled into them.

    also the barcelona liverpool beat was a mere shadow of the force that has dominated global football for the last 2 seasons. braga gave you the run around home and away.

    They really did not, they exposed our only weakness, lack of pace, and played a high defensive line meaning we couldn't get anywhere near the goal. They went into our box about two times over the two legs.

    I don't need pointing out what Liverpools flaws are.I already know what they are,and have on countless occasions pointed them out.However I do know for a fact that Man United are not an outstanding team,and have more flaws than their fans will care to admit.They would have beaten Barcelona if they had a midfielder that could tackle instead of pansies like Giggs and Carrick.Carrick can't tackle to save his life and the only things Giggs can tackle are his sister in law,his brothers mother in law and a welsh bird with big tits.

    Raaaul and yet even still you couldnt beat a second rate portugese side that despite finishing 4th in its division was closer in terms of points to the relegation zone than it was the top.

    BRAGA or BARCA, hmmm

    What's your point, you said they gave us the run around home and away, I disagreed as we had 67% possession at home, we just couldn't break them down as they had the better tactics on the day. I didn't compare Braga to Barca anywhere, so I don't know what you're even talking about, honestly.

    You don't have me in a corner,you would realise that if you actually learnt to read,I have identified Liverpools flaws.However I'm not as thick as you that can't see that Man United also have flaws.If they aren't addressed they don't worry me in the slightest.They can be overcome.
