KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What a mad season this is!

I know it's early days, and the table as it stands will likely look completely different come May, but Lord this has been an unpredictable season! United have been woefully underperforming, Arsenal have been devastating, and we're in second place!

I never thought I'd see a top 4 that excluded Chelsea, United, AND City. Imagine if the season finished with the current top 4: Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, and Everton. Never going to happen, I know, but this has been an incredibly entertaining season so far.

One thing which is entertaining me even more, at first sight it looks like Everton has done the better deal than United when it comes to manager's appointment. I wonder how long the Chosen One banner will stay there, this is really my banter with my United mates.

Let's not count the chickens until they're hatched. The scum still have a better squad than ours.

I'd love the top four to look something like that at the end of the season, it's about time the table had a good shake up.

Utd was to some extent predictable.

The bigger surprise was city and Chelsea whom I thought would be flying

But agree crazy season and its good for the prem

It would be very good for the league if these results held. The CL money would even some things out, and the seemingly indomitable pressure for clubs to sell to the big three would lessen considerably. It could also cause a large influx of talent to enter the league next season. I won't count my chickens yet, but so far so good.

I'm seriously worried about the bitters becoming one of the big shock teams in the new look top 4 this season.

If Liverpool were guaranteed to make the top 3 and you had a choice of where other teams finished, what you go for?

For me I'd go

Top 4
Liverpool
Arsenal
City
Everton

Everton are not as advanced a team as Spurs and would take a lot of investment to sustain a champions league place and would also damage Spurs significantly going forward.

Maybe as I don't live in the city but I don't have the ill feelings towards Everton that I would towards Utd

i disagree, i think our defence is much much better than theirs, our midfield i feel is slightly better and i feel our attack is pretty much equal, perhaps they just edge it.

They have Valencia and Carrick but the rest of their midfield is either rubbish or past their sell by date. I am not even convinced they edge us in attack as i feel Daniel and Luis are outperforming Rooney and RVP, but because of their big names i said, perhaps they edge us in attack.

If we dont have a better squad, i think we are at least on par with them.

Valencia is past it at the minute and has been average the last good while. Ferdinand is also becoming more of a liability for them. Rumours of DeGea becming homesick as well which would put them back to square one trying to get a decent goalie as Lindegaard has not stepped up when given the chance
