KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Cups and League form

As i have posted many times i wanted liverpool to win the carling cup for a number of reason some obviously for personal reason wanting a wembley weekend after years of nothing and a possiblity of another one which as i have said is fantastic , great, brilliant ,super ETC ETC ETC and no doubting it it is a form of success , but it has papered over what is now turning into one of the worst league campaigns in recent seasons , 30 league goals scored only 4 wins at home strikers who dont score enough , big money signing not living up to the price tags and the CL the main goal now out of reach , is just depressing a week after the joy of the carling cup win its right down to earth with a massive bump and the reality of liverpool at this moment certainly not being good enough by a long chalk sadly .

be careful mate your be labelled a disloyal supporter

really ?

no its not looking good is it faz? Personally I think we're out of the chase for 4th. Fa cup can give us a happy ending to the season but there needs to be massive improvements if we want to be more successful in the league.

100% agree with you on this, a really good post!

Going to Wembley and winning cups is fantastic but that cannot be allowed to cover up for another really poor league campaign!

No, you won't be labeled disloyal, because your post's are thought out, considered and respected Faz.

When you come on here like PumPum and say that we haven't signed one good player in the last 2 transfer windows.....and Enrique is lacing his boots up for us. When we have been crying out for a solid, consistent, proper left-back for YEARS....then I think serious questions have got to be asked about that claim by "supporters". It's obvious some "supporters" support who specifically they want and when they want, when it appeals to them. The same "supporters" who wax-lyrical and loath about goal scorers and fancy players up the pitch, but forget all about the importance and significance of players anywhere else.

If anything Faz, you've got to be careful posting threads and filing HeggyPumPum's overload of threads on the forum!

As for the topic, cup success is nice, no matter what cup it is. It's nice to have a trip down to Wembley, when you ain't been there for years. But the League should always be the bread and butter and never put second best to any other competition.

It's a cert we don't deserve top four or Champions League football next season.

This current season, without the hassle and amount of games with having no Europe, I rightly expected us to surprise a few in the League and it's turned out to be like groundhog day and stale bread throughout, especially in our home games.

Next season, we will have Europa League unfortunately. But we must set out to win that from the of, like we have in the domestic cup competitions this year. Next year, those domestic competitions NEED to be still taken seriously, but used to start breeding some of the fantastic youth we have at the club through. With that set, next year we either challenge at the top again in the league, or serious questions should then, rightly be asked.

However it will be more of the same next year, if we don't heavily improve our team in the transfer window....and getting players like Charlie "no look" Adam out, and replacing 'em with better quality, taking into account our situation and availability of players.

We should if anything, learn from what we seen in the last end-of-season transfer window. Based on where we stand at the end of this season and what has gone on during.

We will find out exactly where we stand at the end of season the next transfer window coming up and we will know what to expect after that, before next season even starts. Because we've seen what's happened and experienced this one.

Improvement is crucial, but it's not set in stone....yet.

nice post faz but i think me and you were one of the few at the beginning of the season that would take finishing out of the top four as long as we had good cup runs and won some silverware and got the wembley experience. well thats what as happened and now im looking forward to next season where we have to finish in the top 4 and hopefully not finish too far behind the winners.

it takes time to build a top team even if you have unlimited money. if city win it this year and it's still a big if, it will have taken them 3 years and god knows how much in wages and transfers they have spent.

im not saying i am totally happy about our league position but we are playing some nice attacking football, creating lots of chances and not getting dominated by teams week after week.

I am very unhappy about our league pposition "not entirely happy" is not how I would describe myself. And yes it does take time to build a good team. But is that what we are doing? It looks to me we are worse than we were 3 years ago and only slightly better than last season. Forget the cups look at the league position which is the true litmus.

realistic post SP, WELL DONE

our managers 1st full season in charge. 1 cup in the trophy cabinate on a good run in the other and 2 shots off the post yesterday off being 4points from 4th. i know everyteam miss chances and hit the post but at least we look like winning games. before kenny came the team was playing not to lose now where playing to win. it's a game of opinions mate and i respect what you and others are saying but as it stands im happier this season than last.
