I always try and be reasonable when it comes to football so I'll just say, didn't it take them a good few games last season to start looking a threat?
I personally think they have bought too many 'decent' players rather than getting in the genuine article like the other team that play in red but have no CL footy to offer *cough cough Di Maria* *cough cough Falcao*.
I didn't watch last night's game, I was far more interested in Dortmund v Arsenal rather than another silent night at Anfield where you can hear the old fellas drinking their PG Tips. I did hear that they were pretty awful though, especially Coutinho (who is better than Silva on his day, according to our bitter friends at RAWK) and Lallana La.
