Liverpool are on a great run of form at the moment, and if they continue their great performances surely they will strongly challenge for the title this year.
They have been saying for years that "this year will be our year", and they have not finished higher than third. With the manager now taking more control, and increased English vocabulary(!), his team now does more than "movve ze baal avout vell."
It's the same situation as Arsenal winning the Champions League—can it be done?
With Fernando Torres returning form injury, can Liverpool extend their goal tally and increase their win rate? if they can do this and keep up with the fine form of Chelsea at the moment, they really do have a good chance.
Rafael Benitez has, at last, sorted out a consistent squad with not many rotations now, and with Robbie Keane also hitting top form, they will surely be top contenders for the title.
However, Liverpool have had their problems off the pitch, and with the chairman's position under scrutiny, you have to wonder if the morale was been affected on the pitch and their form dropped.
By the way, read Nel Boi's articles

We won't win it this year, we just don't have the strength in depth. We need 2 full backs and a right winger. Left wing has been greatley improved, but unless Babel (or if he uses Kuyt, Keane or Gerrard on the left as cover) we need someone else in that role that can replace Riera during times of fatigue or injury.
Yes, we're going well, but Chelsea take off Ballack and bring on Deco. We take off Kuyt and bring on Benayoun! United take off Berbatov and bring on Tevez. We take off Keane and bring on Ngog! Rotation isn't the problem, having the players TO rotate is the problem.

I thought they didn't have the strength or depth in their squad to consistently perform and rotate whilst making challenges in other competitions as well as The Premiership at the start of the season. But since then they have impressed me because they have discovered a trait they didn't have last season and that is the ability to grind out results or play poorly and still come away with some points.
I hope they hang on to threaten the status quo because it would be a breath of fresh air if they were genuine challengers come the end of the season. But obviously I hope that they lose out to United in the end!

At least I support my local team mate and I'd rather support Charlton than a be a glory hunter.
Chances you even live in Liverpool are extremley low and football is football, doesn't matter what league you're in. There are more fans of lower leauge clubs than they are liverpool fans and your comment shows just how small minded you are. Your opinion has no justification and you think I'm not entitled to an opinion just because the team I follow isn't in the Premiership anymore.
By the way, impressed you went through all the effort to read up on me before you made the comment!

Dude. Calm yerself. It's football banter, you need a bit of a sense of humour. Now, a perfect response would have been "The lower leagues? It's great, I get tickets whenever I want. How's life without a league title in 18 years?"
THAT would have been a much better comeback.
Of course I went through your profile. We're football fans, you need to know the brand of your opponent. ;)
As for not living in Liverpool, you're right. I'm about 30 minutes away. Is that close enough?
Anything else you wanna know, just ask. :)

can we? yes. will we? i dont know, its too early to tll, but there have been good signs, hopefully with torres back and keane finally scoring, we'll start to take some chances. im almost hoping we drop out of the champions league at the next stage, much rather win the league.

Lets stop writing about us winning the league!!!!
Wait till March then see where we stand, it's only November and lots of football to play.
One thing I will say though is it's so nice to see Utd fans on here talking about "motorway scousers" (pot calling kettle.....) As for your takes on us not winning the league I will just say how nice it is to look down on you and know how pissed you are that we are top of the league:)
