The EPL thread

Man Utd are home in EPL.
Or will RAFA start to play mind games with the King and do what Fergie did to Keegan when Newcastle lead by 12 points at this stage of the season when they lost.

I would love it..... JUST LOVE IT if he even tried.

Rafa has already snapped this season with his "facts" tirade.

RAFA's Cracking UP! Thats the song the Man Utd fans sung at Old Trafford when i was there!

Liverpool has the resilience to win the Premiership but not the playing roster. ManUre fans may well win the title and laugh at us, but this has been an admirable effort to have lead the likes of ManUre and Chel$ki for as long as we have with the squad we've got. If we had the same strength squad as them, we'd be out in front by a long shot. Possibly even have replicated Arsenal's "invincibles" effort of 2003/04.

I think Rafa will be at Anfield for a long time, and surely he can't be that stupid to have honestly thought that some of his starting line-ups are the best ones. I am wondering if he's already preparing for next year, giving some questionable players more game-time to see whether they're worth keeping in Liverpool's plans past this year or whether they should be sold off for the transfer money.

IF I was Rafa (and it is a big if) I would focus now on winning the ECL. With the remainder of the EPL I would go about sorting the dead-wood from the keepers, with the eye to building an even stronger team for next season. Re. Kuyt, I am happy to have him on the side, so long as he is not at strikers. He is nowhere near striker material! Lucas can get shown the door tomorrow for all I care though.

I think that for too many years (immediately following their success-laden years of the 1980's) Liverpool operated too much by a "jobs for the boys" mentality, which starved us in the 90's. I think Rafa has done quite a bit to shed that, and in the meantime picked up two FA Cups and a European Cup. Winning the EPL is only such a big deal because it is the one title that eludes Liverpool. Arsenal and Chel$ki have won EPL titles but never won in Europe, so for them its' the big deal. I think Rafa will take Liverpool to at least one EPL title before he is gone though. Remember, it took Fergie 7 years to win the Premiership at ManUre. How many of their fans on here remember when it had been 24/ 25 years since their team had won the Premiership?

Cahill Deserves Greater Credit

EVERTON boss David Moyes believes Tim Cahill would be a worthy contender for the Premier League's player of the year award and deserves greater all-round credit.

The Socceroo star has made a huge impact since moving into a makeshift striking role, scoring five goals in 13 games.

Moyes feels the Aussie's efforts should be rewarded when it comes to the end of season gongs being handed out.

He told Evertontv: "I think Tim is all about the spirit he gives to the team and his all round play. It's not always just his form in the game, it's what he gives to the team and what he gives to the club.

"Maybe people in time will look at Tim and see him as a player whose worthy of that top spot (player of the season)."

Moyes not only loves Cahill's skills, it is the part of a performer a coach cannot teach that he admires - the qualities from within.

"I think he's shown a real spirit for the team which is very important to any club," he added. "Maybe some day he will get rewarded, but he's playing in a team that is playing very well at the moment and so he's getting rewarded with that," said Moyes.

The Everton boss has no doubts that everyone inside Goodison Park and those watching in the stands appreciates what Cahill brings to the party. However, he feels the football world as a whole perhaps don't.

"He gets credit from Evertonians and people in the club, but does he throughout the game? I think the media thinks Tim Cahill does a great job, so I think they give him credit," he said.

I agree with all of the above No other player has really been as important as Cahill I think maybe Ronaldo from last year or Torres when he's not injured

Some of Newcastle's current players are a blight on football. I can't believe how atrocious they are, and a side with Barton, Guthrie and Nolan in the squad isn't pleasant to play against at all.

Get off your high horse!!!!!

Newcastle are a team trying to survive and the players mentioned about have either represented their country at youth or senior level. You forget to mention the creative players that complement these guys in Jonas, Duff, Martins and Owen.

You need some mongrel in a squad and Newcastle have it!!!
