KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum brendan gets it spot on

Personally I think we will suck at the start of the season, may struggle through into the EL knockouts, early exit in the Carling Cup, but finish strong, maybe as strong as pipping someone for 5th, or a deep run in EL or FA Cup.

Do that, and season after I'm expecting top 4.

We have a lot of hard work ahead of us this season, and the dependable players will have stood up and been counted by the New Year. We'll know our team and our strengths by then. There's a chance we will let go of a number of players in Jan for several replacements, unless Rodgers acts to remove suspect players immediately (eg Adam). Second half of the season is where the system can be judged, but you can't finish in the top 4 in 3-4 months after spending longer lagging behind.

Sorry I missed all that Mighty, but maybe just as well, at least my blood pressure was spared! The difficulty you have just had with Faz is like trying to teach a donkey to dance . But bravo you finally got him to say a most begrudging "ok". This is an example of what sensible posters on this site are up against. Anyway thanks to you, thundyr and one or two others for trying to keep him from misinterpreting my position regarding my minimum target for Brendan Rodgers. It was clear that I was saying he must get close to the top 4 this season and achieve a top 4 next season i.e two seasons to get us back into the a CL place. This is a reasonable target. Given the importance of CL qualification for the future of the club fail to understand why anyone would want to set a lesser target regardless of what manager was appointed, unless of course they are already making excuses for a failure to deliver on a reasonable expectation for a club of our standing.
By the way I've noticed that some refer to me as 'she' no doubt that is because of my assumed name; Annefield58. I am in fact male and married with six children and eight grandchildren. As i've explained once before, I chose the name 'Annefield' because that was the original name of the bit of land our stadium is built on, and from which our stadium got its name albeit slightly altered to Anfield. However I think I may change this name as it does give rise top the obvious assumption.

be clear in what you post you said 4th place minimum now is that this season next season 10 seasons down the line ? and as for saying ok it was to shut him up because he was wrong like you are , now liverpool might never get top 4 again whoever the manager is because of the low base the team is coming from its 17 or 18 points i think you have to be realitic about liverpool chances , and if he overhauls everton and newcastle he will have done well , now in the end it will be up to FSG if that is good enough or not but because the squad is so poor and the lowly position liverpool are in its not going to happen over night not even in possibly 2 seasons , this appointment has to take time it has top be given time and if improvement is seen then it will be all well but that still might be enough for 4th , there chelsea still havent got a manager spending millions and they have just won the F.A.Cup and CL so they will have to be overhauled aswell , its a massive job because of the legacy of benitez , hodgson and dalglish all not being good enough , the fans should not demand targets just see how oit pans out and i have no doubt the owners will strike if its not good enough for there franchise not what the fans think .

rafa's legacy is not a bad one so (very rare for me) I must disagree with you on this one mate.

well the squad he left wasnt good enough dalglish got rid of most of it and felt he had to spend over 100 million to get it up to any standard which he failed at

It was clear enough to everyone else Faz, so a quick glance in the mirror would help you I feel. And really Faz is the no end to the rubbish you push on this site? Even your old supporter heggypompom has to take issue with it, and that's saying something.

that same squad almost won the premiership mate.

Quit bickering,it's like a bunch of grannies arguing over who will pay for afternoon tea and crumpets.

exactly. growler already said it was his turn. to pay for tea and crumpets.

who is bickering wakka?
