| They're in the same position we (spurs) were in last season. We had a great season, but Bale carried us for most of it just like Suarez did last year with Liverpool. We then sold Bale to Real for a record price, and replaced him with 7 "good"(not world class) players who couldn't gel together, resulting in us underachieving. The same thing will happen with Liverpool now that they've lost Suarez. They still have yet to replace him ( Rickie Lambert is not in the same bracket as him). Don't get me wrong, they've made good signings, but they may take a while to gel. Also, you did well last season because you didn't have extra European games like all the other teams did, so you were better rested for prem matches. I think Liverpool finishes 5th or 6th |

Spurs practically replaced their whole attacking core right away. Pauhinho, Erisken, Lamela, and Soldado put in matches with little chemistry formed. Eriksen being the only one that wasn't a flop (Pauhinho had a proper start, but faded in the later months).
Liverpool on the other hand still have most of their core. Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling, and Gerrard. They will clearly drop because of the production Suarez had, but nowhere near what Tottenham did offensively last year. |

| You can say that. But I think the reason they looked good was because of Suarez. I still think they can cause problems, but I don't see them finishing top 2 or 3. Add in the fact that they are now playing in the Champions League, and so they must rotate their squad more unlike last season. They'll have to rely more on their bench this season, and it just doesn't look strong enough at the moment. But I'll see what happens today, I might change my mind |

| Yeah. My sleep schedule is fit for an Australian. It has gotten out of control this week. |
