And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

I think the main problem for Ross at the moment, apart from Everton's awful form, is the Premier League. You put Barkley into the a Barca/Real/Bayern side and he'd be unstoppable. In terms of natural ability there has been no one like Barkley in England since Gascoigne.



Have to disagree - He's vastly overrated. He might have a decent amount of natural ability, but until he learns to look up and play a simple pass or a crucial defence splitting pass, instead of simply running with his head down, then he will simply become another of those English players who gets built up as a young player, but ends up being pretty average, like Jack Rodwell or Adam Johnson.

Personally, I have him on a par with Joe Cole - Hyped up, does the occasional thing which makes you gasp, but ultimately will drift on the outside of greatness.

Liverpool are a joke, tried to tell you all in January. Rodgers is a pretender, helped by having the exceptionally talented racist and no other comps to worry about. Spent £100 million to strengthen and ballsed it up. The kings of cringe are back off their perch.

ynfa

No other comps to worry about? You mean like United this season :lol:

The only signing we've seemingly 'ballsed' up is Dejan Lovren.

Emre Can is going to be a top player for us as is Markovic. Both have huge potential and are currently showing that. Lallana has looked good when he has played. Unfortunate with injuries but we all know what he's capable off from his time at Southampton. He's a classy, silky player with a fantastic work rate.

Moreno I like, brilliant attacking full back. Could be better defensively but he's 20.
Balotelli has been managed dreadfully by Rodgers. Played on his own upfront when he's clearly better in a 2.
I'll judge that signing when Sturridge is back and Balotelli is along side him.

Can you name many teams that wouldn't struggle when you take their two best players (there two goal scorers) out of the team.
I'm quietly content so far given that we're 5 points off fourth, in the last 32 of the Europa League, FA Cup, semi finals of the Capital One Cup missing two players who notched up 50 goals between them last season.

Having one of the best strikers in the league come back into the team in two weeks will be like a new signing for us.

You have the same amount of points as last season with Moyes but you have actually strengthened and added two world class players, not in any cup competitions like you say, so what does that they about you? It's only cause the rest of the league has been poop that you're in a better position and the fact that you have a superb goal keeper.

United's current winning streak should be a great encouragement for everybody else in the league - If a side as poor as United can string 6 wins together, then anybody can.

If Liverpool had any sort of striker, they would have battered United - I don't know about Van Gaal being a top coach, but he definitely has his fair share of good fortune. I can't recall any side which has made it to third in the league, while consistently being second best in most of the games they play, as much as United have this season.

I have to say DeGea is turning into a truly top class keeper though - He will certainly fetch United some decent cash when Madrid sign him in the summer.

Good post.

Been an incredibly lucky coach this year.
The difference is they have a quality keeper who willing save them in games. He must of won them 10 points. It'll be interesting to see how much he does go for in the summer?

Only if he only had 1 year left on his contract.

More realistic than the Evertonian proclaiming him as the new Gazza though. :D

If the world of football had any sense of reality, yes - but sadly it doesn't, so it will be double that at least I would think (especially when you consider Fellaini went for near £30 million!)

We're the best form team in the league at present.

Sakho starting to prove his worth now after a consistent run of games. He's a monster.
A settled back 3.
Sturridge returning.

It's looking good for Liverpool IMO.
