Progress in the FA Cup & the transfer windowPosted January 16, 2008 by DM Osbon
http://sweetflag.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/progress-in-the-fa-cup-the-transfer-window/Transfer WindowWith the January transfer window comes a large listed of linked players to a possible move to Liverpool FC. Some well known but others less so.
With the arrival of Martin Skrtel to make up the numbers in defence, I really can’t see anymore spending until possibly in the summer, on new players.
With the current atmosphere surrounding the owners & Rafa being very unproductive towards a positive outcome, I just can’t see the transfer kitty opening up for the likes of a winger & a further world class striker… the two positions that could do with addressing.
FA CupThe 5-0 win over Luton Town was the 9th result this season that 4 or more goals have been scored Liverpool.
Last season’s total was only 5.
More & more I believe this competition will serve Liverpool well this season.
With the Premiership title being that step to far just at the moment & the Champions League looking a very tough prospect for Liverpool as their next opponents Inter Milan, are no mugs, a cup would do wonders for Rafa’s prospects of keeping his job past this summer.
What could be better than an FA Cup final at the new Wembley for domestic morale?
PredictionMy current form: LLLDD
Still 7 points off the leader Shikhark but I have dropped back I place to 6th but holding off the next 4 players by 2 points. Two correct outcomes have helped consolidate my position in the Top 10, a prediction of 2-2 for the game against Middlesbrough & the 4-1 for the FA cup game against Luton Town.
With I believe only 1 player getting the 5-0 result that Liverpool got against Luton, in the FA Cup reply at Anfield, correct nothing has really changed much in the Top 10. There are now 75 players in the league & I hope I can now make a push for 4th(2 pts ahead) with Liverpool’s next game against Aston Villa at home on the 21st January.
My theory still applies, as it does in football, that it’s OK to lose a few games as long as the other games are wins & not draws!
With 14 draws & 14 losses I am looking to increase my current 12.5% win rate to at least 15% before the end of the season.
