“This is our year,” Liverpool fans and players will be heard saying at the start of every season. This has been one of the first years where that talk has died down, from the more experienced players like Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher at least, with them recognising they fall some way short of being ready to compete.
Even with the 2nd highest scoring player in the league, Liverpool finished too far behind the Champions, and were essentially out of the title race before the turn of the New Year.
Gary Pallister has today said that he doesn’t think this year will be any better than the last for Liverpool
“I can’t see them challenging this year,” said Pallister. “I thought they might put together a sustained challenge last year and they didn’t manage to do so. I don’t feel as though they can this year either. Under Benitez they’ve been playing for fourth spot. That’s not good enough for Liverpool fans. They expect to be up there fighting for league championships – and that hasn’t happened.”
United take on Liverpool tomorrow and there is the potential of both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres being unavailable, or playing when not fully fit. Pallister thinks a loss might be on the cards for them tomorrow, which could be hugely damaging.
“It would have a big effect on their season if they lose,” he added. “If they lose badly it would be even more damaging. To lose at home to one of your main rivals is a huge blow.”
Is Pallister right?
Man Utd News 24/7
Yes.
L’pool have lost their squad depth, which was admittedly not very good, in the financial musical-chairs required to add Mascherano, Torres, Skrtel, and Keane. These four players are upgrades on the guys they replaced BUT their whole squad has been downgraded. Add to that deficiency, the very obvious lack of width in their attack, and what they’ve got is a fight on their hands with ManShitty for fourth spot.
Once Anderson is unleashed… nobody will have a chance..
He had Gerrard and Mascherano in his back pocket last season.
He has Fabregas in his back pocket.
United have bought world class young stars… not finished products… but show that they have pedigree.
The scousers have bought players that dont have the pedigree… i would like to see just how much money they have wasted on players…
Plus i think the biggest mistake the scouse did in pre season was selling Crouch… as he was a pain in the arse to mark in that Liverpool Team… even though they were still shite lol.
Now Anderson’s clearly a really promising player, but you guys are getting a little bit carried away.
jemima or luke or whatever…please tell us who u support…you ve suddenly appeared on ROM…and have been making far too many quips against our usual lads..
So the Q is who are you? and if you aint a utd fan…what are you doing here?
I come in peace asking that question..so please dont bite my head off.lol
I agree he has been getting carried away a tad….BUT Andersonsonson played brilliantly last year against both Arse and Pool, and he really did run the show at Anfield…
Jemima….. you dont work for the social do you?? lol…
Always getting carried away mate….. i almost got carried away by the cops in the early 90s when United were extending OT…. as i went down there early hours pissed up with my mates… i got in… and got 2 bricks from the stretty end….. and got caught…
They could see i was pissed and told them i wasnt givin the bricks back… and they told me to just do one…. i asked for some of the turf as well.. but they told me to Fuck off lol…
Still got the 2 bricks to this day, in a shoe box upstairs…
I take united to the extreme….. also did fanzone on sky 2 years ago… united v wolves in fa cup… was good laugh…
Jemima…. im tellin ya… Anderson is gonna be a world star……
