Can we still win the league?

[Red Nick]

Yes we can but we wont

 

I am more worried about finishing 5th than winning it.

 

The club is in dissarray off the pitch which is transmitting to on the pitch.

 

If you gave me 4th now and the owners gone id defo take that for sure

Jesus, wouldn't we all.

[Guest LFD]

I still fancy our chances. Torres isn't on top gear yet and he's scored three goals in four games. Man U don't look convincing to me. Arsenal are good but they don't have too much depth in certain positions. Chelsea I think are the side to beat and they will be hit hard by the African Nations, so we need to keep in distance with them till then.

 

I'm sure we'll look far better with Aurelio, Aquilani and Agger back fully fit enhancing the first team and squad.

4th for a side containing Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres is absolute horseshit.

We should be winning the league with those players.

[Chippo]

Of course we can. I Think we are actually suffering a bit now because we didnt have to play CL qualification. The last years we have looked shit in these games and needed them to get match fit.

Agree with this. Having seen the form and capability of Chelsea and Arsenal, and the rise of City and Spurs, it will be a battle just to get into the top 4. But if we have our players fit and the team playing as we did for much of last season, we're still capable of winning the title. But I'd be surprised if it happened.

I think the top 6 will look like this come end of season.

 

1. Chelsea

2. Arsenal

3. ManUre

4. Liverpool

5. City

6. Spurs

[sir roger]

At this point we simply need to get our players back fit from the internationals & then beat Burnley.

 

The weekend we play Burnley the rest of the present top 6 play each other & this obviously means that we will be;

 

- In the mix as to the league table

- Have a couple of winnable games leading up to Chelsea

- The three 'A's will be either at or near fitness to boost the squad/team

[Thants]

Yesh

[Xherdan]

We will get better from here. Our squad is starting to come back to fitness and Aquiliani will be in in October. We are getting better and we are 3 points off the top.

[Guest LFD]

I think we have a great chance. If Aquilani fits in quickly then it might give us an extra boost and hopefully dimension.

[Liverpool lad]

Barring any serious injuries, and the new kid settling in, I reckon we can do it.

[Guest simon]

We can and we will if everyone stays fit.

[philyhamann]

We've come up in some easy games, when the game has been a challenge we have lost. This will continue through out the season.

[WaltonRed]

Yes we can.

 

Will we, who knows.

 

Sunday will say a lot.

[Guest the boy]

We're in the shit. Only a bad mong could suggest otherwise. Unless Torres or Gerrard bail us out, Chelsea will batter us what with the form they're in.

 

What?

 

 

We'll breeze the league.

[Guest LFD]

I still think it is very much possible as long as we keep beating the weaker teams.

 

We have lost to Spurs and Chelsea away from home - no disgrace really.

 

The big blow so far was the Villa result.

[The Golden Eel]

We absolutely won't win it now IMO. All of a sudden an away trip to Sunderland looks really bloody difficult... Then we have United after that... Tough times ahead IMO...

 

I'd loved to be proved wrong but i fear our season's gonna be more about finishing top 4 than winning the league...

[House of Dirk]

No.

But we've lost to every decent team we've played this season, those we have beaten are expected to finish in the bottom half of the Premiership.

[Carra_is_legend]

No.

 

I think we will just about finish in the top 4.

[JohanH]

Beat Sunderland away and ManU at home and we are right there in the mix again.

[Guest LFD]

Doesn't mean we can't beat all the top four at home, plus maybe get good results away to Arsenal, Man U and City.

 

I think we still have a great chance. Chelsea are picking up wins, but aren't looking convincing, the African Nations will hurt them as well. Man U aren't looking great and rely heavily on Rooney.

 

The losses won't hurt us too much as long as we keep picking up wins against the weaker teams, unlike the numerous draws we got last season.

 

We usually get better and better as the season goes on, Aquilani and Agger will boost our team, I am not ruling it out, especially as we are only 6 points behind the top. This league is open.

[Royal Family]

I can't believe anyone is seriously advocating we can win the league. We will struggle badly to finish fourth this season. There's a real sense of an end of era about the squad, and even about a manager who has given it his best shot but has run out of ideas. It's clearly not helped by having spent less than Sunderland, Villa and Stoke over the past two seasons - let alone Spurs or Man City. The squad needs rejuvenation and deepending - and that will cost a fortune.

[Hermes]

The irony of the spending is that having spent a fortune on attacking players over the last few years it's now the defence that is falling apart, 12 conceded in the first 8 league games. It must be decades since we conceded so many so early in the season.

[hamstrung]

We won't struggle for fourth, but unless something strange happens we won't be winning the league. I can see us losing another 3 or 4, which will probably be too much.
