KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Season predictions? (current squad)

Probably way to early to ask this question considering the month and a bit left before the transfer market closes and what personnel changes will occur in that time. Just curious to gauge what people expect this season given the recent comments from FSG and what has been said from BR and the players so far, as we will hopefully see a slice of what is to come tonight against Toronto.

I'm predicting with the current squad 5th and a much lower ball to post ratio and maybe the semi/quarter finals for the league & FA Cup, not sure about the europa league though. Even if we do make some changes over the coming month I would still say we will be 5th hopefully 4th.

Also if someone has already posted this question please link me up as my searching was pretty lazy to be honest.

The vibes are that we're focussing on style and a new system as opposed to results and any targets re: trophies or league positions.

It seems we're not after or can't attract any proven world class quality to add to the squad. We've bought or seriously been linked with 4 players so far I'd say - 3 ex-Swansea and Clint Dempsey, one of whom snubbed us.

Carra's a liability; Gerrard's the wrong side of 30; Skrtel seems to have itchy feet; the word is Barca want Agger; and does Reina have the belief required to improve on what was perhaps a dissapointing season for him last season?

I suspect we'll be out of the domestic cups fairly early and will do better in the Europa League. As for the league, we won't win it, top 4 unlikely but possible - but maybe just as possible as everything going wrong and we finish 8th or lower.

Outside chance of 4th improvement finish 5th and red hot tilt at 4th season after this. Forget title its not on the agenda. I don't give a stuff about the europa cup the UEFA cup was worth winnning but its devalued now.

I actually would like to win the Europa league instead of a league cup or a fa cup. More prestige in my opinion.

Agree with Snakeye on the Europa League. Much as I hate C5 on Thursday nights followed by league games at 13.30 on a Sunday, I think we need to maintain our profile in Europe. A decent run and perhaps some good perfromances and results against tougher teams in the later rounds could do wonders for our profile, confidence and also expectations for future seasons.

Unfortunately based on the players we've been linked with, I can see us trying to get that 4th spot, hope we can but it will be a battle. I just find it hard to swallow that Roy and Dalglish under the different American owners have made liverpool seem so undersiable for players to come to in 2 seasons, maybe it's just the dirty media giving us a bad name.

A good run in Europa would be nice, think well make it far in that, I'd say semi finals. Same as the other cup comps. It all depends if Rodgers gets his point across fast enough and whether we bring in the right player, that will make the difference between us getting 4th or 7th.

5th

No title predictions this year growls? A broken man like the rest of us.

No, defo not.
I was riding on an overly massive optomistic tsunami of hope and expectation last year.
5th would be progress in the right direction

Hi Growls glad you are better and up and on your feet again. You obviously last year had that awful virus Kenneth’s syndrome affecting so many last year. I was very lucky I escaped it but I did once catch it in the mid eighties but developed an immunity to it by about 1991 / 2.
