Except Arsenal and Chelsea other top 6 squads are equally good.Rodgers took some good decisions for this coming season in transfers&coaching staff.But he already undid some of his good work by agrreing to provide contract extension to both Skrtel and Toure.And he is continuing his trend by persisting with Lovren and Mignolet.

For next season to have a balanced squad he should not compromise this two things atleast against a good attacking team.
i)Lucas/Can is a must as CDM. ii)Sakho is our main CB.

So far it is not looking good but I am optimistically hoping he would implement those two things when the season begins.

Also We have really good technical players each with their own abilities but we are lacking in our attacking play because:
i) our players don't seem to exploit the gaps or make the runs behind the defence.
ii)If they do any of these things then they are indecisive with their passes which is helping the opposing defence to settle.

Most important thing in our 2013/14 season was how we were attacking defences in a structured fashion,all our players were in the right position at the right time,when we stole the ball or when we were building the attacks.

So Rodgers should not make drastic changes to our formation.As Ed said tinker the tactics in a particular formation.And if needed he should not hesitate to bench the senior players and fill the personnel with youth players.

There is no one in the world who is not LFC supporter who will agree that our squad is anything like that of City or United. Not even close.

Most people will find this suggestion laughable. City has a better player for every position on the pitch, some with big margins. United have better players for at leat 8-9 positions on the pitch. Both finished way above us in the table last year despite not having a great season in their own stanards. They both strengthened their squad considerably this summer. We sold the player that anyone who is not an LFC player would argue was one of our 2 best players, maybe our best (and most LFC fans thought the same until he started to say he wanted to leave).

We made some good signings bot most of them last year were not able to help their teams to finish with trophies or in the top 4-6 in the table (and Milner doesn't count here as he was a substitute and didn't have much impact on City's campaign) not did they score many goals (other than Benteke) or produced many assists.

With all my criticism of BR, our squad is just not strong enough. I doubt if even Klopp could have taken us to the top 4 though I would surely would like him to have a try.

It is true that sometimes (in addition to a magician manager) one player can change the fortunes of a whole team, as Suareaz did.So if Benteke starts scoring every time he touches the ball, than maybe something good can happen and then if one of the other top 4 has some crisis - say Aguaro is injured for most of the league, then we can maybe give City a fight. I cannot see this holding for 38 league games though.

Fanobip please tell me other than goalkeeper's position ,in which position does United have better players?
Only thing is that Van Gaal is a better manager than Rodgers.
This squad would atleast qualify for champions league with managers such as Klopp and Emery.I am optimistically hoping that Brenda would do the same.

26 Jul 2015 10:08:41
Do you/anybody have a feeling Rodgers only has a so many games,I'm thinking 6-8 games and if we're not at the top or there abouts he'll get the boot ?

I don't want to spend too much time praising United's talent as I am an LFC fan after all. I think their new signings and especially Depay and Schwiensteiger are very good signings. Rooney, Mata, Blind, De Gea obviously, Fellaini was maybe their best player last year. Valencia and Young are two high quality wingers (when they don't dive, especailly young), Herrera is a very decent player. and I also highly rate Di Maria still and quite shocked they may be willing to let him go although they would probably bring Pedro or someone else of that quality instead (like Wenger I am also shocked they let RVP go). I think all of the above are better than what we have to offer in these positions with the exception of Coutinho and maybe Benteke - though Benteke with us is still a mystery - and maybe Ibe.

Morgan Schniederline.

On paper United squad has players who won many titles,laurels. etc.Di maria,Basti are quality players I agree but their recent performances and injury woes doesn't make them better than our players.Lallana was expected to make a great impact but we all know how that turned out.Both our team and United have players of same quality in Midfield,stiking and wing positions.Memphis Depay is a great talent,but it is his first season,even when Raheem left to city with potential but not being a complete player.And we have exciting players in both Ibe and Markovic.

I felt the same thing but realised that a team is dangerous when they are confident and have clarity and cohesion on pitch,most importantly their faith in manager's ability.That is why United's performance changed under LVG.Had our players solely believed that it is the manager who is the greatest support than we would not have felt the loss of suarez so badly.

26 Jul 2015 11:30:41
You mention those players Fanobip but to me they are not all better options than ours. Young and Valencia? I'd rather cout/ Fir/ Lallana or Ibe.
Fellaini? I'd rather Henderson. Sure they have a few positions better but overall we are pretty even or we have better

26 Jul 2015 11:33:10
Blind only looks like decent backup and Valencia is done - he's been rubbish the past 2-3 seasons. He became useless as a winger a one trick pony and was moved to full back as he can at least stay fit. He's not a good full back.

If either of these were our players they would be slated here and we would be screaming to move them on.

Fellaini is a good Plan B.

26 Jul 2015 13:06:40
I think United have a better squad, more balanced than ours, but City's is definitely better than ours. Arsenal seem to be improving as a squad and a team, and two trophies in two seasons has definitely given them the confidence to perhaps finally push Chelsea and City (two best squads int he PL) this season.

Lucas leiva is as gooad as Schneiderlin,for United in this position (CDM) they have two players in Morgan and Carrick.So once again other than GK position Liverpool have first team players as good as United's .

Wrong. Schnider is not a CDM, He is a CM who is equally good at defensive duties. He is a multi talented player very similar to Alonso. A playmaker in itself who is good in defending and breaking up.

Herrera is similar to Henderson and will play the advance role with Carrick and Schnider occupying the midfield slot.

We should have got him instead of Milner.

26 Jul 2015 15:25:03
If Carrick and Schneider play Hererra won't

27 Jul 2015 09:58:33
Having a stronger squad is an advantage but thankfully not the only deciding factor. Momentum is a powerful force. If you can gel in your good games, win some ugly ones and flat out steal a couple early, you never know.
