KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Expectation for 2012/13 season

Hopefully we will be in the title race, but my gut tells me we are still a year or so off. Realistically: Top 4, long cup runs (FA, League) and why not go on and win the Europa league?

People on here never cease to amaze me, the only reason they put us 6th or above is purely and simply because we are Liverpool Football Club. I just dont know when people are going to wake up and realise you need to earn things you get within the game, you just dont get them because of who you are or what you have done in the past, thought fans might of learnt this lesson when the current manager was appointed on this very reason, obviously not.

Why is it you think we will achieve so much more than this year? What things will be different for us to do so much better?

P'raps not hitting the post and the crossbar that many times next season?

They are just as likely to go the other side of the posts though aren't they. Hitting the post is not unlucky (not saying you think it is), it's an off target shot. I don't see how we could go from 2 good cup runs in domestic cups that the big teams don't field their best 11 for, to competing in both of these plus a good european competition and compete for top 4 despite playing thursday in said european competition. It seems like reaching to me.

Small margins - sometimes they're with you - sometimes they're against.

A summer clear out of some dross we've picked up lately, combined with the addition of 2-3 quality players could make a hell of a difference.

The rest is up to self confidence and good management - wherever that's supposed to come from!
