Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016, Mod Warning in OP, 10/7

Pathetic Chelsea. Carrying on like they won something.

When the likes of Leicester are winning the league you know it's one of the worst quality wise.

Fair play to Leicester and Ranieri a true gentleman who deserves it.

Bottling it is losing a 10 point advantage.

It isn't not being perfect and it certainly isn't failing to win a title you were never in the driving seat for.

I'm only slagging!

Leicester kept their nerve no matter what was thrown at them. Spurs never really put the pressure on.

Actually I thought tonight's performance by Spurs was one of those rare times when the usually misused term "bottled it" truly applied.

Spurs are light years ahead of us.

I would back them to come close again next year as well.

I reckon they might struggle to hold onto some of their players.

Not a hope. They have 70 points after 36 games, most years they wouldn't be within an asses roar of winning it. Next year Guardiola at City, possibly Mourinho at Utd, Conte at Chelsea and Klopp at Liverpool. They are completely overrated, league is unbelievably poor this year. This was their shot, they blew it.

Nonsense. Give klopp 2 full seasons like Pochettino and come back to me.

I hope you are right bud.

Wouldn't put too much cash on Chelsea next year. They look rubbish.

Look, can we all just agree that Spurs are a shower of four-stars and that their pain is delicious, like chocolate?

My mind went straight to pizza reading that

I don't see how we can lose next year. What ever the odds I'm putting 1000 on.

They've haven't lurched forward into top quality this season.

A 12 point swing over last season (the max they can get) would be quite strong and clearly they've done a good job, but that's without much of a cup run and only half-arsing the lesser European competition.

It's just that the standard of the league is rock bottom.

The other issue they'll have is that there's no obvious weaknesses but precious few geninely top class players.

It's much easier to work on a team of 2 world class lads, a couple of solid options and then a pile of **** that's just about holding things together.

For Spurs to significantly improve they'll have to either do incredible business or spend boat-loads of money on players that may or may not be interested in going there.

On the plus side, they're unlikely to get picked apart too much either.
While you can make arguments for nearly any Spurs player over nearly any other player in the same position in the league, none of them are so much better, expect maybe Kane, that they'd be worth the huge outlay, and none are of the calibre that would have your Barca's and Real's sniffing around.

Of course, Leicester just won the league, so **** logic, but whatever about 1 impossible season where nobody turns up, I can't imagine another one happening, particularly with Guardiola and Conte turning up.
