Over on RAWK their acting like signing Moreno sorts their defence out, proper deluded whoppers like, 2 spanish fullbacks and Lovren hardly inspire me to think their gonna be ironclad now, also amusing how they can lose Suarez and its no problem as Rodgers is the one responsible for their goal scoring last season so will sort ti this, yet they sign a few defenders and apparently their defensive woes are down to the players they had rather than the managers tactics/coaching.

They will, but I cant see them spending out massive amounts given they've spent £90M already. They probably will end up with Bony or someone like Bony.

They were nervy in the run in, only in the spurs game where literally everything went right for them did they look comfortable.
Let in 3 against Cardiff, nearly threw it away against Sunderland and WEst Ham, were clinging on against Norwich, completely bottled the 2 goal lead against City before being let off the hook by a catastrophic error.
Even before that they were flattered by the southampton score and scraped by against Swansea and Fulham.
It's something of a RAWKish myth that they were battering everyone by 5 or 6 goals before little Stevie's little slip.

Tbh their fullbacks were crap last season. Johnson is awful, Cissokho was a joke, Flanagan is below average and Enrique knees are gone. So even average fullbacks should be an improvement to last season.

Against Norwich they showed the first headless chicken signs that came to fruition in the Palace game. I suppose it was understandable that a club that hadn't won the league for 25 years would get the jitters late on but, as you suggest, in retrospect they never looked like thoroughbred champions - just a team riding an exceptional wave of good luck and the form of a world class finisher.

I don't think Liverpool will match last year - for several reasons. I'll post them in the style of RAWK;

Yarmolenko ? Yes please
You can't really ask for anything more ' well said '. That's nailed it. He has spoke nothing but the truth here and he's right, in no way is what he is saying patronizing. With the history he has with them lot and the years of abuse from them, he speaks of them on a very mature level.
Spot on that.

Oh god, RAWK has pulled me back in...just read this corker of an exchange. A reasonable post which elicited this baffling response.
= Lovren, Lallana, Markovic, Moreno*, Can are all very good but not world class signings.
A reasonable post which elicited this baffling response..
Neither were Sturridge and Coutinho when we got them though.
WEll no, mate and they're not world class now nor will they ever be. They've all convinced themselves it wasn't Suarez but Brent's 'system' that won them the Xmas league last year.
Their cultism is getting stronger.

i'm not sure rodgers should be trusted when it comes to defenders. kelly looked head and shoulders above johnson when i saw him. agger easily their best centre back and he'd rodgers' 4th choice?
