<lots snipped>

We're now one of the top 6 teams in Europe maybe?

Seems I touched a nerve when I wasn't even attempting a subtle dig!

We can talk all day and night about the merits of respective tactics but if it seems that 'parking the bus' at Anfield is good enough to give a visiting team roughly 50% chance of a draw or better it's hardly a sign the manager is totally on the case.

I think the above quote is somewhat optimistic. According to the current league table Liverpool are the 5th best team in England (albeit with a game in hand on City) so they can hardly claim to be one of the top six in Europe on current form.



I would argue that the top 4 in England are within the top 7 or 8 in Europe and I doubt the Uefa rankings would say much different. So Liverpool being in the top 6 isn't that unreasonable.

About a manager not really having a clue when he gets loads of bad results at home because of teams parking the bus... do you think Wenger didnt have a clue in his first season at the Emirates where every team did the same and quite a few went away with a point?

Now we are into lies damned lies and statistics! This link would tend to prove you right

assuming you are happy to agree that Chelsea are the 2nd best team in Europe on form over the last five years. Hmmm wasn't this discussed on another thread recently 

On the football transfers front, latest rumour up here is that Artur Boruc has signed a new long-term deal at Celtic. If true, possibly the best bit of business we could hope to have done  Grin
