They are going to be out on their feet come the New Year and let's face it without them we look very ordinary.

The season is still over two weeks away - all players bar one are back and training
You have written the team off before the season has even started - it’s pathetic

Yakka is a good poster, but he's been overreacting for a while IMO (sorry yakka, just my opinion). However, he does have a point about our players' fatigue, especially the forwards. Surely even you can't disagree that they've played too many games over the past 2 seasons and with having little to no pre-season and very little time off, they're very likely to get injured or burn out very early. Hell, there's a good chance some of them won't even get out of first gear for the entire season! This won't be a problem if we signed just one quality forward for rotation, but the fact that it's very likely that we won't be signing anyone in this window is slightly worrisome.
And no, Origi, Brewster etc. are not the answer.

We are over reliant on our front 3 and if anything went wrong with one of them we'd be in deep shyte. Given the amount of football they have played over the last 2 years and the fact they haven't had a proper pre season the potential is there for it to go wrong. That's all I'm saying the potential is there, and it is.
We have a tendency to look leggy in the final few months of a season anyway because we run more than most, having a shortened pre season and in some cases no pre season at all is certainly not ideal for a team with an all action style.
As I said the season is long, 9 months is a long time.

Last season we wrote our chances off because of the midfield - proved you wrong
You have already stated that City will win the league and now going on about finishing outside the top 4
You do realise how good we are as a team don’t you ? Champions League winners - beaten just once in the league and missing out by 1 point to apparently the best Prem team ever. The team hasn’t got weaker it’s still strong and been boosted by some talented youngsters - no one is going mad in the transfer market because it’s stale

That's how I fear it could be, we're in the hunt but we're niot trying to take on City, we're top of the rest, not slugging it out directly. .

You like your straw man arguments don't you?
What I said was a midfield of Henderson, Milner and Wijnaldum isn't good enough to win the league, I said it at the beginning of last season when Klopp left the likes of Fabinho and Keita on the sidelines. I stand by that statement and the day those 3 play week in week out in a title winning side you can have a go at me then.
Btw whats wrong with thinking City will win the title? I didn't say I want them to win the title, I said I think they will win the title which is what the bookies and the vast majority of people think.
