I was reading that thinking you had short term memory loss

My predictions haven't changed. Although I think Swansea could be in serious trouble if they don't buy soon.

If I was betting serious money on the top 8, I don't bet btw, I'm talking 20k plus, this is how I would place the top 8.

1st Man Utd
2nd Man City
3rd Spurs
4th Arsenal
5th Chelsea
6th Liverpool
7th Everton

As for Leicester I don't see them finishing in the top 10, Stoke, Palace, West Ham will finish above them.

You got me Wilks.

ok. Focus...
1 Chelsea: Brilliant manager, great squad. they will do the business.
2 Liverpool. great manager. ok squad that can over achieve under Klopp.
3 Arsenal. same old same old.
4 Man Citeh. Great manager. Great Squad. But there will be cultural / playing style problems. i.e the EPL is brutal.
5 Manure. Jose has lost what little hold of his ego he had and will treat the Man U board just as he does the press - with contempt. Also the players will revolt.
6 West ham. Great manager. Tough and disciplined squad.
7. Spuds. over achieved last time.
8. Leicester. last season was won by default.
9. Everton... meh...

Yes why not. He had 2 N:o 5's earlier on!

I'd be reasonably happy if Liverpool finish second, as it would mean that we were most likely challenging for the title, as we should always expect. A second place finish this season would mean that Klopp will have matched what Rodgers did when he had a similar situation with regard to a pretty clear run at the league with no European distractions. I'd go so far as to say that would be a reasonable expectation for Liverpool fans since Klopp is a more experienced manager with a much better cv and record than Rodgers had.

Yeah but hes minus Suarez sterling Gerrard who were kind of important that season.

That's all been cancelled out by the signing of his own players this window, plus the likes of Firmino, Benteke, Sakho, etc, signed since then. All of which combined should equal one Suarez and a more or less finished Gerrard. They certainly cost as much and more combined. I see no plausible excuse why Klopp should not equal or even better what Rodgers did under similar circumstances, given that he's arguably a better and more experienced manager.

Firmino benteke and sahko aren't the same. None were signed by klopp.

One is on his way out. The other is either on pills or pi55in about in America and firminio is actually decent. You can't replace Suarez. I hope klopp does well. I think he will in time of his method of building a team of unknowns works then it will be all the more sweeter. But saying he should win the league when he has to compete with a whole host of better managers is a bit much. He isn't going up against moyes and pellegrini this time.
