Liverpool Sputtering Title Aspiration

Watching Liverpool winning is definitely hard this season is like knowing the sinking feeling that Liverpool fans have endured throughout the years that Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City have dominated the Premier League in recent years.  (Not a good feeling)

I would like to say that even though they (Liverpool Football Club) have the most potent attacks in the Top Four, conceding 49 goals (so far) and Arsenal Football Club have a better Against Record (so far) within the Top Four Team. Not a good sign for a Title Winning Team to have.

I always criticise Liverpool just because a strong defence wins the title and bad defence really don’t win any titles for any team just looking from the past few seasons of the Barclays Premier League.


Liverpool’s weakness at the back really was the turning point as no addition of any players in the January Transfer Window really hurt Liverpool title aspirations; one of their targets was FC Basel’s Mohd Salah who ultimately chooses Chelsea over Liverpool.

Funny that Sketel and Sakho is in the picture!

The attack which was led by the ever controversial but talented Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge was definitely a revelation this season but they have been over-worked but since there wasn't any European Distraction for Liverpool aside from the Cups that Liverpool are obliged to join.  The strikers have been saving the team title aspiration from being shattered.

The slip that was the first of many set backs for Liverpool.

The slip by the all the all-consuming and inspiring captain Steven Gerrard against Chelsea Football Club was definitely funny for me but I do feel sorry for him as his mistake paved the way for the loss (NAH... NOT REALLY... BUT WHO WOULDN'T RIGHT?) but not far behind is that Liverpool conceded 2 quick goals  against a side who is set up brilliantly by Tony Pulis and Brendan Rodgers who made some tactical mistake in his substitution and game plan in substituting Sterling who was dominating the game and replacing him with Coutinho but I do think that his mind set isn't up to par to sacrifice an attacker for a defender in Agger who was in the bench should he be needed.

And for Liverpool Legend in his own right, Jamie Carragher have lambasted that their defence after the game  as not to be Champion's Material yet which I agree 100%. "Liverpool Achilles Heal was always their defence and Sakho and Skrtel have played together in defence for 17 games and have only one clean sheet when they play together and Brendan Rodgers dislike Daniel Agger for some odd reasons" Which I paraphrase what the legendary Jamie Carragher who made 508 starts for Liverpool in the Premier League alone.

Peace Out!

World of Football !! The Blue Half of Manchester

Welcome to the World of Football through the eyes of a Manchester United supporter!


Words cannot describe how Roberto Mancini fruit of thought is.... His Team Sheet is probably the best in the Premier League (funded by the Sheikh's money) which are filled with World Class players and most are regular National Team players (and I am sure most will want the team that Mancini has in his disposal).

I mean look at this First Team Squad?

I will never know how can an Italian with all the fire-power in his disposal can still say he needs more player? If you can find the correct combination... Just man up and say so... As this is clearly seen that Mancini is actually tinkering with his First 11 as he is unsure of which Starting 11 he wants (changing full-backs in the game against Arsenal was weird) and plus having so many players is always an headache for managers as 10 outfield players are allowed in the game plus 3 substitution is allowed anyway. [at this rate I think Mancini wants a 40 player First Team Squad to compete in the Capital One Cup/FA Cup/Barclays Premier League and also the Champions League]

I seriously doubt Manchester City will be able to sustain themselves as there are possibility that the Rich Sheikh could possibly leave the club once they have achieved what the Rich Sheikh have set themselves to do. I also don't know what is the point of building a World Class Facility if Manchester City will just keep buying more quality player and not allocating enough spots for youth team player to prove themselves and also to nurture the next generation of Footballers?

Manchester City may be the first team out of the City of Manchester but Manchester United are the more successful team between the two.much like Everton and Liverpool (where Liverpool is much more illustrious then the team that was founded first in Everton).

With the amount spent on players.. I would see Manchester City beating Borussia Dortmund easily at The Stadium of Manchester but Borussia Dortmund who is missing one of their key offensive flair player in Shinji Kagawa but The Citizen were lucky not to concede plenty of goals no thanks to a Joe Hart (who Rooney claims to be Best of The World? - really? a person who claimed he had "studied" every Italian penalty takers in the Quarter Finals of EURO 2012 is The Best GK of the World? - I think not to give the title who didn't even save one PENALTY in the Penalty Shoot-Out where the Italy player missed the penalty shot)

One would wonder what Manchester City would be if the Rich Sheikh would leave the club (One would imagine that the team will dissolve quickly  as the amount of wages is too high for a low income club)

Queens Park Rangers Summer Signings

Queens Park Rangers is a team that barely avoided relegation thanks to a 2-2 draw between Stoke City and also Bolton after losing narrowly to Manchester City in the penultimate match of the season.

The London club have gone through plenty of changes notably at the ownership with Air Asia tycoon Tan Sri Tony Fernandes with the club going on a spending spree of players to avoid relegation once again.

With the likes of David Hoilett, Park Ji-Sung, Fabio (on-loan from Manchester United), Samba Diakité, Andrew Johnson, Robert Green, Ryan Nelsen, Júlio César, Jose Bosingwa and Real Madrids Esteban Granero joining the club

David Hoilett

Park Ji-Sung

Fabio Da Silva

Samba Diakite (made his loan move permanent)

Andrew Johnson (Free Signing from Fulham)

Robert Green (Free signing from West Ham United)

Ryan Nelson (Free signing from Tottenham Hotspurs)

Júlio César (Undisclosed fee from Inter Milan)

Jose Bosingwa (Free signing from Chelsea)

Esteban Granero (Undisclosed Fee from Real Madrid)

I have seen some of the players play in the first game against Swansea and they were horrible as they have inserted many of their new players in the line-up that it has made them lost the cohesiveness that help them perform last season when they were making runs at clubs like Liverpool.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes shouldn't have panic buy players but strengthen the defence with solid Centre-backs :D

Estaban Granero is a great coup from Real Madrid as no one joins Real Madrid or Barcelona should they be average or below par and QPR second genius summer bargain/purchase is Julio Cesar (the shot stopper from Seria A) who is still performing.

Andrew Johnson is another player on my list as his predatory instinct like a Fox in a Box could help create more chances for Zamora or Cisse to score goals.

I'll see how QPR perform in this season to better judge the Transfer Dealing of Mark Hughes!

Peace Out!
