You're wrong... flat out... Look - last year was not the norm but an anomaly... Barkley got hurt and took ages to get back into even close to the form he had prior... MASSIVE blow... This is the best 15 we have had in a long time... from back to front...
 
I'm hopeful to get a little more depth in your post... little vague... I would really like to hear what your feelings are regarding the issues with the wide players that we have THIS year... McGeady can go - just doesn't cut it... Does Lu up front, Barkley behind, Miralles left, Deulofeu right with the support of McCarthy and Besic/Barry, overlapping from Coleman and Baines get your blood flowing just a little? It should mate... good squad...
 
Is there the chance that you have possibly become complacent with being a supporter? That you've lost sight of the fact that we have no money but still compete with all the big money clubs... That we have signed on players for next to nothing except wages that can actually play...
 
Why all the negativity mate? I just don't see it...

welcome toffeeman. like pad said we haven't signed lennon (i'm hoping we do as well though), but yes the signings are looking good and we are linked with quality this summer which is a compliment.
 
i am positive on the outlook too and think a cup victory is in our grasp this year. i'd love champs league as well and think we will be a dark horse since we had a rough campaign this last year.

Fair enough fella's and yes I am here for the long haul now that I have found you this side of the pond... I too have bled blue for my entire 43 years and understand where the league is... Lennon is a fool to go back to Tottenham as his game is better suited for Martinez's attack... Tell me two better than Jags and Stones outside of Chelsea's dynamic Duo (and even Maurinho know's that Knobhead Terry can't play forever and has his eyes on Stones) complimented with Coleman and the best left back in the Prem.
 
Europa killed us for form in the Prem and we don't have that distraction this year... Those Thursday matches are a killer for the weekend and it has to change (don't ask me how) for future years... I don't envy West Ham, Spurs, 'Pool or the Saints... I hope they all go deep into competition cause their league play will no doubt suffer... Spend all you want Liverpool, you're back line is still awful and until you address this I will watch gleefully at your 'under-performing' side... Add games to this lot and they will be an awful + tired lot = disaster...
 
We are competing with City, Arsenal, Chelsea and United for CL football. Yes - it will be an uphill battle but outside of City and Chelsea do you really rate United and Arsenal higher than Everton... I say it's a pick-em... C'mon you Blues!!! please....
