Despite their poor performances, Rickie Lambert believes Liverpool can finish above Arsenal. He stated:
“This is probably the first time he might have made a mistake, not brining [enough] players in [this summer]. I don’t want to criticise too much. The way they have competed with Manchester City is beyond belief.”
“The fact that we’ve off the pace this year is a little worrying, but it’s understandable. I think we will come back. I think we will finish second. We are more than capable of winning 10 or 15 games on the bounce.”
“I think Arsenal have started brilliantly, but I think they will realise how hard it is to get over 90 points. Manchester City are going to do it easily again.”
