I picked Liverpool to finish second in the English Premier League this year. I still think they can finish in the top four, get the European bid they need to draw in big names in the off season, and maybe even win the EPL.
I am a Red Sox’s fan, so I tend to panic early, but if there is one thing I have learned over the past few years from watching that baseball team, it is to stay calm and let the ship right itself before jumping overboard. You never know what can happen during the course of a season.
This ship better even out soon or at least get its head above water, because the squad looks terrible. Yesterday’s 3-1 loss to Aston Villa has forced me to look at the squad and wonder if they practiced at all during training. Their touches, spacing, and defense were all sub-par, they looked like Portsmouth yesterday.
