Your league position supports hardly anything you have put down. If your squad is so much better how comes we are second and you are sixth? You are going by reputation and not form and
you are also comparing player for player and like for like which is fine up to a point but neglects numerous factors such as tactics, formation and set-up, the team aspect, the manager and so much more.
What you said about "needing time to gel" is nonsense, look at Chelsea who are top; new manager, new players (Kante, Alonso, Moses), a new system (wingbacks and three at the back), a club legend having his longest absence out of the first team.
Your post at #2368 is so biased I don't even know where to begin.
"Herrera and Lallana is where it becomes debatable" don't make me laugh! If you total goals and assists together only Costa and Sanchez are higher that Lallana so I don't know where you got that one from.
Shaw is a massive let down. Poor player who is, like so many in your squad, living off reputation. Mourinho doesn't even like him by the sounds of things. Overpaid and overhyped.
Our forward line works as a unit; four players pressing high up the pitch all moving in different directions where as you are being carried by a 35 year old who is being run into the ground by a clueless, whining, whinging manager. Zlatan has been excellent though ill say that much.
"Carrick is a better passer than Henderson" I posted on Henderson's stats above, so won't repeat them again, they are colossal. Seen Henderson's goal against Chelsea? I don't even think Carrick can kick it that far and he hasn't had an assist in the league either for all his passing abilities. If he is such an accomplished passed how comes Mourinho waited so long to gel him into your side?
You are paying some outrageous transfer fees and wages in the process.
It's almost as if Liverpool fans think that because they're 2nd that Utd fans should be clamouring over themselves to proclaim how great they are!
As for the guy who can't stop quoting me, I already have explained that I wasn't saying it based on current form. I was talking about which Liverpool players I'd bring into my squad and based on what I consider my strongest Utd XI, I believe only Coutinho would offer an improvement over Martial, hence why I'd take him. In fact I agreed with one of the fans who proposed a mixed team based on current form. But for me the Utd team is stronger (and balanced) all around than Liverpool's. Milner has been better than Shaw this season, but go ahead and ask the 'non-biased' Utd fans, if they would replace Shaw with Milner going forward... They'd be laughed at. Now apply this to the rest of the squad, at most I see the majority of people would only add 2-3 players from the Liverpool squad to the current strongest Utd XI. Not a chance of 5 or 6.
I've given Klopp his credit already for ascending what I consider an inferior team to very high level. However LFC fans can't seem to accept that every new squad is hailed as the new 'balanced squad, or most exciting attack in the league'. I heard this all before, especially in the Suarez days. Yet after 2 and a half decades of this they have nothing to show for it. Of course Utd fans like myself are going to be reluctant to go along with this PR, until Liverpool actually win the league. For what it's worth, Utd has finished above Liverpool for 2 of the last 3 seasons, and many more before that. They also won the FA Cup, whilst Liverpool lost 2 finals.
If I asked at the end of last season to LFC fans, which squad they'd rather have of Utd or themselves, many would point to their own despite finishing 3 places lower and not winning a trophy.
And Liverpool are always plateauing, or soon to drop to their 'true level', and never on an upward curve. Jeez.
