Yup. All that mobility and trickery sets defenses on fire.
Not our fault Chelsea loaned out their only solid Striker, City have more than enough depth to deal with Europe. It's a pretty poor excuse from people who fail to accept that Liverpool are top on merit.
So it's all to do with our players having more time to recover from the previous match and nothing to do with player performances, having the best strike partnership in the league or Rodgers' tactics usually being spot on?
Obviously we will add depth to our side in the summer and be able to compete in other competitions.

Yeah we've had less competitions to play in, but if we had more, we'd have strengthened. As it is, we've only had to focus on the league, but that's a **** poor argument if you think that's the main reason we're top.
We're top because we have a solid team, a manager who's gotten his tactics spot-on, two strikers who can't stop scoring, a revitalized Gerrard, and a team that plays for each other.

It honestly isn't ... And I never said anything about Chelsea's strikers. The sooner you accept that the Liverpool squad would never have survived a European campaign along with the other domestic competitions, the better. If Chelsea or City only had the league to concentrate on from January, they would be doing much better
Umm doesn't the extra rest time contribute directly to better performances? Doesn't the extra rest the contribute directly to having more time to scout the opposition and allow Rodgers to get his tactics spot on? Adding depth is one thing though ... The more pertinent question would be whether Suarez will be able to sustain this absurd run of goal scoring form when Europe comes calling

I never said it was the main reason but it definitely has been a huge factor. No Euope and early exits from both cup competitions
The biggest factor has been Rodgers by far though.

If we had been in Europe, we'd have strengthened more. We weren't, so we didn't.

His signature should be the first we get in the summer. Tie him down for 5 year.
Thats the same as saying that if Chelsea bought a striker, they would be leading the league. It's a fair guess but pointless to argue over
Liverpool are top on merit but will need to strengthen next year. End of discussion.
He's taken half the squad to a whole new level. Even Flanagan's blossoming. So impressive. Manager of the year if he wins the Prem, still a contender if he doesn't.

It's easy to forget that regardless of Europe, you all TRIED to strengthen more. The list of missed targets this season is pretty huge.
I reckon Martinez would be in the mix for MOTY as well if we end up 4th. And I'll admit that I wasn't sure (to say the least) about his appointment, I guess I'll have a lot of humble pie to eat come the end of the season...
Hey, you don't have to point out to me Lord Pulis' talents, I don't stop singing his praises!
But I still think Rodgers will get manager of the year if he wins the Prem. Frankly I'll be surprised if Pulis wins it even if Liverpool don't. Just so happens that awards like that favour the bigger teams.
Martinez is probably third behind Pulis and Rodgers, a little way behind. Martinez has been fantastic but Rodgers has taken Liverpool to new levels and Pulis necromancered us hard.
