It’s a varied Friday morning Mailbox, with some suggestions on how to finally get Celtic and Rangers playing at a decent level. Also: staunch defences of Jurgen Klopp and Scott Parker...
Standard-wise, they are both probably mid-level Premier League. That would match with their performances in Europe. But as you say, it makes little to no sense them being in a competition where they are always the whipping boys. Being in a competitive league would improve the strength of their players and squads. It would also make them genuinely attractive to investment.
A mix of lack of funds, poor transfer strategy and a horrific injury list left us playing most of the matches with a 40 year old goalkeeper, an 18 year old centre half, and a midfield composed of a 37 year old and 34 year old. The first half was quite an odd watch. United looked good when countering but for most of the half, it felt like a Sociedad player was either on the ground or complaining about a foul. A positive from the first half is the defence look solid. Martinez continues his incredible form and to me is undroppable on his current form. His passing is such an underrated part of his game that it’s almost like another midfielder when he’s on the ball.
Which of the above will really take it seriously remains to be seen, but some fruity looking Thursday nights in store.I am a Liverpool fan. Have been for the past 20 years. I was not born in Liverpool or even England for that matter. I fell in love with Liverpool under Houllier and dare I say it, it was mostly because of a Michael Owen. What a player he was in his pomp.
Looking at what O’Neil has done since, he’s had 2 wins vs Forest and Leicester – both bottom at the time of the results. Was this beyond what Parker would have achieved given he beat the only team he played where Bournemouth were expected to get a result? They’ve had an easy run all things considered since Parker’s dismissal with the exception of spurs against who they capitulated and Newcastle, who at the time of the game were in a miserable run of draws against average teams.
