Title Race

Sneaky e/w bet on them for the league...?

[Shaggy]

Martinez is doing a great job. I thought he'd have a huge task on his hands getting that squad to change style from Moyesie's negative, ball-fearing dross to how Martinez likes to play but he's doing a great job.

Not in a million years would I back that mob

[chadrtc]

Hate to say it but they're genuine top 4 contenders aren't they

Need one or two sides to drop away

If we're in the title race, so are they.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

They started off slowly as well Everton, a load of draws, they could have pulled away if they settled immediately but there was a lot of pointless passing at the start.

[Shaggy]

Everton lost at City, which was their only defeat so far.

Vile isn't it

Annoyingly impressive

A few injuries/bans soon would be much appreciated

[PTP]

i hate to say it - but they look very good and very confident - organised at the back, solid but creative midfield and goals in attack

i was hoping the baines injury might knock a bit, it hasn't....then dealfeou got injured, that hasn't effected them either...

However i do feel a big part of the way they play is down to Lukaku, even when he's not scoring...he leads the line so well for them and is such a handful for the opposition defence that it creates space.

Take him out and replace him the static Jelavic and i think they'd start struggling

I used to think it was moyes that made the bluenoses I know horrible bitter obnoxious ****s but under martinez they remain horrible bitter obnoxious ****s

[Norbs]

Without Cahill, Hibbert and Neville they're not so hateable . Take Moyes out of the equation and they're not the horrible bunch they used to be. I'd much rather they got 4th than Chelsea, Utd, Spurs or Arsenal.

A top 4 of

City
Chelsea
Us
Everton

Would be very funny indeed. My confidence is waning a bit now though that we'll be in that group

[Chris]

We'll do well to finish top 7, can see Everton winning it by 15-20 points.

[Rich]

It would make a nice change for both Merseyside clubs to be up there. Wouldn't mind them finishing top 4 aslong as we finish ahead of them.

I think we're doing ourselves a disservice. I think we've earned the right to be where we are in league and proved that we are good enough to finish top four. I think we are better than United, Spurs, Everton this season and arguably Chelsea too. The only team I genuinely fear is City at the moment. I even think if we played Arsenal again now we'd beat them.

It's going to be tough but with the likes of Suarez, Coutinho, Henderson, Sakho and Sterling in fine form and Sturridge and Gerrard returning (like new signings hopefully) we can finish top four.

Yep, its weird how people are always finding negatives "oooh we lose the next two and x wins the next two they'll be level with us" "if we lose the next two we'll be 5th" etc. Another great win on the weekend but another team beats a woeful Swansea side and the negativity starts! Odd, we're playing great, have won 4 in a row, scored 17 in those games and have the best player on the planet. A few defensive issues but we'll do just fine.
