It’s almost like watching Xabi Alonso at his pin-point best…

JOE isn’t usually prone to making grand sweeping statements when it comes to football but we think it’s safe to say that Chelsea are going to win this years Premier League title by a bajillion points.

Liverpool came so close to ending their long wait for a title last year but it looks like the Reds won’t be anywhere near the title mix at the business end of this season.

Brendan Rodgers’ side were truly woeful in their recent 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace and even club icon Jamie Carragher didn’t hold any punches when it came to the fortunes of his former club.

Simon Mignolet hasn’t fully convinced most Liverpool fans since his arrival from Sunderland as the Belgian ‘keeper has often looked erratic when collecting crosses and indecisive on a few occasions.

As for his distribution, well this clearance against Crystal Palace speaks for itself. Is there anything to be said for bringing back Sander Westerveld?
