Not exact matches
I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a big
team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great to see him
at nationat
team too, and we need as mutch as rest of the big
teams from EPL
home grown players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a
top team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.
Uhh guessing this is a question from football retards exam night... We have one quality forward (currently off form) two decent strikers who can deliver in bursts (but probably wouldn't make the bench of most of rival

team aspiring for
top honours
at home and abroad... Conclusion we need
at least 3 new attacking options in the summer....

It's funny how he said we are better than Liverpool overrall forgetting that in terms of players we were still better than them last season yet the beat us
home and away.Liverpool
team is not so good yet out of all the
top four
team they're the ones who play their hearts out.That's why Liverpool didn't lose a single game to a
top four
team last season though on paper they should have.As for Tottenham if you look
at their
team they just need a few more signings and consistency so I don't know what's the big deal about them.The painful this is they could've won the league if not for draws.It was a disgrace for any of those two to finish over us last season because on paper it shouldn't be so.This should tell you that it's not all about the
team you have.Some it's about luck, sometimes it's about giving your best and sometimes it's just meant to be.

1) When you can not beat mid
teams like Hull and Tottenham
at home 2) You have no track record of beating
top teams who you should be competing with 3) You struggle against any decent opposition that decides to play good football and apply themselves tactically 4) A confused manager with poor tactics, playing players in wrong position, throws a blind eye when a possible solution presents itself (Fabregas) and makes no move or poor moves in the market when he does GUYS to be honest we are
at risk of losing out on 4th place with a resurgent Man U, fighting Liverpool and decent
