Better midfield options and keeper. Front two just as good. There is more to a team than that. Try read it again

I seriously cant believe you are comparing us to United, they are on a whole different plain to us unfortunately, do you honestly think if we were as close as you think we would of finished 6th and that many points behind them if we were only a few players short as you think, we are 6th best team for a reason and please dont give me this after January we were a different team under Dalglish as we were only playing for pride with no real pressure. This team is work in progress there is no guarantee those signings will make us stronger, time will tell starting against Sunderland.

Yes I believe our keeper is better. I believe we have stronger options in midfield bar RM and I would take Suarez and Carroll over Rooney and the Mexican?
That's as simple as I can make it.
What I'm not saying is we were great last year. We will do better than united this year or anything of the sort.
What I am saying we are a lot stronger than last year. Put whatever negative spin you want on it but I believe what I say is true.

why do you say bar raul meireles ? i dont understand this the lad has been brilliant for liverpool .

Sorry I meant right side of midfield I'm a big fan of Raul and hope he stays

Your mental mate, both their wingers are significantly better than ours. Everyone but some liverpool fans being defensive would take rooney and hernandez over carrol and anyone. Their defence is much better. The only position we are better is keeper as theirs is unproven and CM cause they don't have any and we have 10.

Hang on Hernandez had a decent season as did carroll before his injury so they can be judged evenly. I would take Suarez over Rooney without doubt. I rate downing and believe he is one of the top left sided midfielders in the PL. As you said CM we are better hands down and our keeper is better thats not mental that's a fair assessment.

andy carroll has done nothing yet for liverpool this season coming is a massive one for him

I agree but watching him for Newcastle in the first half of the season I definitely thought I'd like to see him at LFC. Didnt think for 35m tho. It's a big season for him alright and I'll be supporting him all the way. He was impressive against City

If you were optimistic you might say Hernandez will have second season syndrome when the defenders have worked you out and Carroll will have first season. I know its not in my nature but I thought I would give it a try.
