Fletcher aint the player he was two years ago - he seems to have been going backwards. And Jones, yeah, he can play as a DM, but it's in the same way that Jamie Carragher could play as a DM. He could do it, but he wasn't at the level a title winning side needs. I think United got the most out of both Anderson and Carrick when they had the Canuck about. tbh I think last season's United side was one of the poorest United sides I have seen. That's not to say they were a bad team - far from it! they won the smurfing league after all! - but they struck me as more... assailable? than other formidable red devils teams in the past.

Also, no, Liverpool cannot win the league this season and would do very well to finish in the top four. The team isn't ready yet. If we carry on investing at the rate we have been, and if our youth carries on developing as it has been, then in 2-3 years, watch the smurf out. But for now, we are where we are.
