[El Jefecito]

Stolen from TLW.

Liverpool: Pld 15 W 11 D 3 L 1 Pts 36
Chelsea:   Pld 14 W 9 D 5 L 0 Pts 32
Man Utd:   Pld 14 W 9 D 3 L 2 Pts 30

Apparently that's from around the time we switched to 4231. Overlapping full backs, RW and it could happen.

Why have we played 1 more than them in that table LOL

Yeah so the question is would we have won the title if Rafa had played his best 11 every week. IMO, the answer is yes

[Woobus]

Nice looking table, we do look a different team using 4231. Hopefully we can take form into the start of next season.

Just timing, we'd still be ahead though.

TBH I think it's got more to do with 4231 than rotation. Gerrard is rarely rotated and a couple of games aside neither has Torres.

I know where you are coming from though and I am a little scared that at the beginning of the season we may over-rotate esp. as El Jefecito and Lucas will be away. As long as we rotate players and not systems we should be OK though as I think changing systems is more of a factor as is incorporating new players. Hence, I'd prefer just 1 or 2 additions.

We had a game in hand against West Ham.

What a memory

[Closer To God]

Not so sure about that. Can't remeber what I did yesterday.

But that's because of the 3 pints of rum

Yeah I remember seeing something similar for last season, we always seem to finish strong, trouble last year was the way we started, and this year the middle third of the season where we fell away.

[JohnDoe]

4-2-3-1 is the way forward.

Gerrard behind Torres wins games. Bring in two good wingers and two decent full backs who can cross and you've got a title challenge.

I think so too. Problem is do we have the money for those players or are we going to end up Degen/Milner/Bentley types?

Agree but we can't just rely on Torres up front. We need to bring in at least one striker who can get us 15+ goals.
