I have to agree (except point about liverpool being on the raod to recovery
)
No team has done well this season, and apart from Man Utd, no place in the league standings is safe (including man City).
Partly that is about not buying players.
Arsenal it was about initial quality of players (trying to buy cheap, and not choosing well).
Man City, not strengthing when they should, and not getting rid of others (and ballo is in that).
Tottenham, issue is a striker, they were needing one, and for strange reason it has been ignored. that team would be not bad with a good striker (eg imagine Demba Ba and bale combo)
Chelsea is the puzzler, they have good players, it seems that they are playing below their potential. maybe things will change, particularly if they don't insist on torres playing, but make Ba main striker. I would sell Torres as soon as (had too many chances), and get another striker

I notice Ba has his name on his mask. He is probably afraid to pick up the Torres mask, in case his luck at scoring rubs off
