I understand it's their job to talk up the title race and it's only a tongue an cheek comment, the thing I'd be most encouraged about if I were a LFC fan is how you've finished the season, we did it 2005/2006 and it put us in good nick for the following season, you seem to be blowing teams away although you won't always get the decisions.

Just watching MOTD, loving Dean Kiely's linesman skills.

I think it's finding the right balance that we struggled with during mid-season. Sometimes we've come out, tried to dictate the tempo without creating much, then allowed sides to settle in and defend for 90 minutes. The past few weeks we've not really allowed sides to settle, we've scored more in the first half (I think) and yesterday I thought our performance was very complete.

I know a lot of people whinge at Rafa about his rotation, but one of the main reasons he does it is to have a full strength squad, at peak fitness for the run-in, and whilst he's not rotated as much this year, our form of late shows that it works, I just think we lack one or two quality players to rotate.

I agree with you there, what you have coming in isn't upto standard, although may change if you sign Tevez.

Hopefully not, if Benzema replaced him.

Need to do what you have been doing for the last 5 or 6 seasons which is spending our money on one or two top class players at 15mill plus each none of these 5mill waste of money ones

Not too much slagging off of Lucas lately or is it when we win, scapegoats are not needed?

Ande?
Ashmeister?
