KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What were your expectations for this season?

Expectations.....I thought suarez 20 goals, AC 20 goals and serious competition for utd city etc, I thought roll over most teams at home bar top 6, get the draws or scrappy wins away (against teams from 7th down). Keep up past Xmas with city etc. Cup runs are a lottery but with us tough to beat. No Europe should have helped us big time....

We are tough to beat, suarez - Carroll not at races, SG Lucas injuries hurt us, agger has made our defence tight again. We are creating big chances , but the biggest disappointment is the results against weaker sides (given that utd have won a lot of league rolling over weak sides and letting the big team games take care of themselves)

After the manager wasted millions on 4 players thet were clearly not very good my own expectations from him and the team plummeted.I fully expected the season to pan out as it is doing and I expect a finish of around 9th which should result in the manager leaving.

at the moment its happening like i thought it would 5th, 6th or 7th and a cup run or runs .

at the beginning of the season i would have expected top 4. at that time we still have aquilani and meireles. now that they're gone and given our results, i think we'll end up in 6th.

9th? Really? Wow, great expectations!

But the way we are going, you could be right!

After the end to last season I genuinely thought Top 4. Forward on to the summer of stupid buys and I thought 4th was a possibility but likely 5th behind City, United, Chelsea & Arsenal. I thought it would be between us and Arsenal for 4th/5th. Unfortunately Spurs have surprised me and made 4th look difficult.

Now halfway through the season and the poor home record I think 5th at best which is a shame as it means we will now struggle to attract top players again in the summer.

I don't think we will beat City at Anfield and reach the final as Kenny showed his inadequacies in the second half vs them and the Stoke game. I really hope he doesn't decide to defend a 1-0 advantage as that will be a bad move.

In all I think

5th/6th in league
Semi of carling cup
