Liverpool's
Carling Cup win means qualification for the Europa League; even so personally
this season has been a disappointment, particularly in league games. Too many
dropped points have been at home... I believe Liverpool have tied eight games,
majority of those against teams they should be beating.

| Liverpool... Carling Cup not enough... |
Blackburn, Swansea and Norwich
for example all got away with something from Anfield.
Part of the
problem is that Liverpool’s squad is too mediocre and average, with the
exception of Suarez, Gerrard, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Reina and Kuyt. Few of Liverpool’s summer signings have made an impact.
Charlie Adam
is an oxygen thief, Downing flatters to deceive, Andy Carroll is a total flop,
an expensive one for that matter, and Jordan Henderson is a ghost!
Jose Enrique
has been solid, and Bellamy has been Liverpool’s best signing by far.
Henderson
is only 20 years, so maybe he will improve with time. That said, I’ve watched
him several times this season and I still can't describe what his best
attribute as a footballer is. Kenny Dalglish bought a lot of British players,
and that's fine provided they are good enough to play for Liverpool.
Charlie Adam
has been a total failure. A club of Liverpool’s stature shouldn’t be getting
players from relegated teams like Blackpool. Ian Holloway (Blackpool’s manager)
once compared Adam to Xabi Alonso! Are you kidding me? There's no comparison
there; I am convinced Alonso’s departure led to subsequent departures of
Mascherano and Torres.
Admittedly, Liverpool have been unlucky at times. They've hit the
woodwork more than 21 times this season. They’ve lost a couple on the bounce –
they shouldn't have lost to Arsenal, but that's what happens when you don't
kill teams off, especially with RVP on the field.

Manchester
United have edged ahead! No surprises there! I thought Man City
was going to run away with it! But the loss of Yaya Toure to the Afcon was a
major blow! They didn’t look the same team without him. Paul Scholes’ return
has galvanised United, he is a brilliant player. He was never pacy, so he
didn’t have any speed to lose to begin with. That's why he is still a top
player at 37! I am not a Man United fan, never will be, but I've always liked
him!
