Can I just say as a Liverpool supporter for over 50 years who is still hurting from his winner in 1996, ALL of the above is spot on. Cantona transcends bitter rivalry, there aren't many you can say that about.

It's a tough call for sure but we have expanded the squad significantly and should be able to cope a bit better hopefully. You go for theleague first, that's a given, Europe is icing on the cake.

Skrtel was probably our best defender last year althoughis big deficiency is he is way under par at clearing balls played in from out wide. Our problems lay far deeper than that and hopefully Lovren will fill a big gap, but the bottom line is if you're an attacking side who score goals for fun...

It's a big ask but it depends on how we replace Suarez I suppose, he's a massive miss for sure but didn't play in the first 6 games so who knows.

I may be wrong on this but it might have something to do with scoring over 100 goals, how many did you get? :D

I had 20 years of you lot telling me the league table doesn't lie, you were of course right. Mata wouldn't get a regular start for Liverpool, no way, too pedestrian for our style of play.

In Brazil he was Italy's only striker. This would suggest he Everybody is wrong actually. Feb 2012 to the end of season 12 in 13 games. Season 2013/2014 18 in 41. Impressive by any standards.

My bad, or rather wiki's. He scored 12 in 13 after signing from City in January 2013. Then 18. Then he went to Brazil and lead the line and knocked England out.

and there are no Italians playing abroad?

[ Balotteli scored 26 goals for Milan last season in all comps, you've chosen to highlight Serie A to back up your argument.

If Jones and Smalling were so excellent and better than Skrtel who was an ever present at Liverpool how come you came 8th, particularly with Rooney and Van Persie up top? Also if we came within 2 points of winning it and signed 8 new first team starters in the summer how come we should be more...

That'll be Italy's first choice no 9 in the World Cup you're talking about then? :lol:

I'm not being sarcastic or taking the piss, I wouldn't take any of your centre backs over Skrtel, Sakho or Lovren, we could do with one more though, Kolo is way past his sell by. As for your 'outstanding' midfield, well if you're happy with it then good for you, ours is chockablok with bright...

He said no 'if's and but's' so I took out the possible problems with both of them. Whilst Falcao doesn't rely on his pace as much as say Henry, anybody losing a yard after a cruciate, which can happen, won't be as good as before the injury. Money might not be THE issue for United but we're...

I don't post on Rawk mainly on Y NWA, and I used to post in here back in the day before the yanks and Hodgson fecked us up and it became an unfair fight. a bit like now really only in reverse (that was a joke by the way before you kick off). We've not changed our squad too much, most of our...
