KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum can we challange for the title

my view is we gonna lack quality in depth and even though we will beat the top 4 on the day but i feelwe will not have the same strength when we pick up injuries and suspensions

if you base our challange on the number of points we got under kenny in the second half of last season we still falling well short of what is required

i think at best we will finish 3rd

any thoughts people

no we cant I am a afraid, we are likely to finish in a measly top 1 position this season.

A challenge for top is possible, however I've already opted for 3rd myself, being "REALISTIC"!!! If we can shore up our defense particularly in away games anything is possible, considering our attacking options, and of course there is always that old bogey called injury to consider! But all in all I am hopeful of a title challenge and optimistic about finishing in the top 4.

I am just waiting for what RED NS, Farz and Careehx has to say

2nd or 3rd i think chelsea will win the league followed by us or utd

To answer your question "can we CHALLENGE for the title"?..... WHY NOT? we have a fairly solid midfield and the attack is potent enough. if we can strengthen in defense especially with a decent left-back, we should be a formidable force. All said though, we need all our player injury free to stand a chance of WINNING it....

We cant say what will happen for sure! itl be a guess or wishful thinking at this moment,but we will die trying that is for sure! we will need consistancy in all areas,ie no injuries,team spirit,good tactics,110% input from the players for the whole season and we have to hit the ground running. if we do all that then we may be happy bunnies come the end of the season. forgot to say lots of luck too!

My heart says we will be challenging for the title but my head says that in order to do that we need to sort out a few of our own problems first. The most important thing is to believe in ourselves. Be optimistic. Liverpool must have the winning mentality especially in the closing minutes of games where we lost quite a number of points when opponents score against us. Always believe that we can go one better than our opponents be it a minnow team or a defending champion. We severely lack that in the final few months of Rafa Benitez and whole of Roy Hodgson's era. Hope that King Kenny will change all that but I would also be critical of him too if he failed in his mission like what I did when Benitez was in charge. I was supporting all the way ever since he was offered the Liverpool job but I started to be critical of him when he starts to talk more to the media instead of focussing on his job as a Liverpool manager.



So in order for us to be challenging for the title , I mean challenging , not winning , we would need to have the winning mentality within our squad. Focus on what we are doing and not what other team is doing. Heck care what Mancini and RED NOSE wants to do or who they want to buy. Work out what we have within our squad and move from there. The second half of last season we did that and I believe we can do that again for the whole of last season...


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

We'll be lucky to beat the drop, we're signing rubbish players for too much boo hoo doom and gloom

Seriously though I think to challenge may be a bit beyond us. You never know but I think it would mean a lot of luck coming our way and none to the others. I think we can deffinately get top 4 though.

I think if we get a good solid run of wins at the start of the season and the players get the right mentality for the rest of the year we defo have a shot at challenging for it.

But I think we are likely to fall short come the end of the year due to missing 1 or 2 quality additions that I don't think will arrive until we get back in the champs league.

I do however believe we are more than capable of getting back into europe and most likely champs rather than europa
