    I was skeptical about Sterling when he came in. And he’s not really done much to change my mind. Hopefully he finds his feet and does well with us. But I’m just not seeing it. And unless his form improved significantly, I’d be very relieved if we didn’t turn his into a permanent deal.

      Dear God no, we cannot keep both Sterling and Jesus. It’s nice having a both-sided winger for backup (in both cases, actually), but having two misfiring attackers is untenable.

      My prediction ceiling is Sterling scores no more than 5 goals, and maybe one of them wins us a game and raises his stock a bit. Jesus might do bits in the CL but I’m losing more and more hope every week that he’ll ever get back to his pre-knee days.

    How hopeful are people that Liverpool will actually stumble? If they maintain their performance as the fixtures get harder we might be in for some heartbreak.

      More desparate and confused as to how they can just go and do it after we’ve been chomping at the bit for yeaes now. But I do think they’ll more likely stumble than not.
