Alright lads, Liverpool fan here in peace.
Just wanted to say I know we have no chance at the title, lack of squad depth, still a bit questionable defensively so I'll concede that top 4 seems our limit this season. But I'm glad it's you lot that are looking favourites tbh.
I'm a huge fan of Mourinho, he's an entertainer, from what I've heard he's a really nice bloke to most players. Even others from different clubs. You fans are top draw in your support for the players and the club and my word do you have some great players.
I reckon Matic was a bit of a missing link. I feel like you needed him to sure up the defence and now that you have him, I don't see you conceding too many points at all.
If you get a good consistent striker in, and maybe a CB to cover JT, I think you'll have your dominance over the league back. The thought of that Mourinho machine kicking back into gear like it used to is terrifying.
I still think with City and you lot up there, and us improving, Arsenal doing alright and United sinking, it's only good for the league as a whole.
Anyway, good luck lads, Hopefully come May, you guys have the trophy if we can't!
Cheers
Cheers lad. I think you still have an outside chance of winning it this season (albeit a small one), since you're only 6 points of top.
In Suarez and Sturridge, you have a scary attack and I don't believe squad depth should be much of an issue as you don't play in Europe this season.
Of course I reckon we have a better chance, especially now after the Jan window because our squad is much more balanced than before and it looks like Mourinho is really getting through to the team.
I really enjoy watching our games right now, but your boys gave me a good show as well on Saturday.
Good luck to you as well, just not enough luck to nick it away from us. ;)
{Ed002's Note - "Monitoring" is not the best word. Chelsea remain interested in the same strikers that we have discussed - but availability and price will always be a consideration. Atsu will return in the summer and will be looked at then - I would doubt though.}
