Therefore I applaud Suarez’s eagerness to win the title, every team is in it to win it, otherwise it wouldn’t be a competition, I applaud the desire to bring Liverpool back into the realms of respectability, because everyone except Liverpool were laughing at Liverpool, why? Because it was great to see one of the mighty top three not on key. It was brilliant to see a god bleed. It gave way to an opening for clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur to seize a much sought after position in the top four.
With Dalglish at the reigns Liverpool look more stable now, perhaps stable enough to re-establish their former top four spot, for regaining entry to Europe should be an essential aim of next season, preferably Champions League standard obviously, but it doesn’t look like Arsenal, Man City, United or Chelsea will hand over the top four so easily, and with outsiders like Spurs and Everton ever present, the mounting task for Liverpool is to fight their way back.
I would love to see Liverpool to win the title next season, the ideals of optimism however must have their place and priorities must be set. Conquering the top four is vital, with no European football next season Liverpool should be able to concentrate on the league much easier. As Berbatov will tell you though, there are two half’s to every season, what won United the title was consistency, regardless of style or class or grace or attractive football.
Arsenal can play beautiful football all they like, Ferguson can still grind a result out in the most adverse of situations which is why United are where they are; top of the pile. United will remain the best team in England until someone can replicate that quality, whether its Liverpool or Swansea, a fire in the belly of old King Kenny might be all it takes to steer Liverpool level with United again, but who knows, there are 19 other teams in the Premier League, all with a fighting chance.

The main problem for Liverpool is other 19 teams who against ManUre aren’t surely have a fighting spirit. They looks like a small team who face the giant! Typical!
