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

I know its the way you see things longlane.

Hopeful we will still bring in a few good additions and BR will inspire improved performances from several current players but based on the current squad I see us behind Chelsea and the two Manchester Clubs for the top three places and probably Spurs/Arsenal for fourth and fifth so I would be hoping for an improved result of 6th place and a cup run in either Europe or one of the domestic competitions but wouldn't be overly surprised to finish 7th behind Newcastle if they reinforce wisely and don't suffer from a bit of 'second season syndrome' which would still be an improvement from last year albeit only a small one.

unfortunately money dictates in football especialy at the top end of the food chain, Madrid and Barca richest in Spain, Benfica and Porto in Portugal, Bayern and Dortmund in Germany and so on and so forth I know you do get the odd teams gatecrashing like Montpellier in France ahead of PSG, Lyon or Marseille in France but it's no coincidence the richest and most powerful Clubs usualy always win there League in this country it's United, City or Chelsea with Arsenal following before the gap to Spurs. I just think football is predictable with the money in the games and the gap between the richest and the rest of us is increasing every season because they play Champions League every season, vicious circle.

6th. Borini and players like allen are good players. But they are 6th place players unless they massively massively step up. With our squad plus allen and dempsey I can't see past 5th max, probs 6th.

Any player who can play 36 games a season and achieve 90.3% pass accuracy is better than a 6th place player.

No. Not necessarily. If that was so important why aren't man city spending 30 million for him. If it is so important why aren't any champions league clubs in for him. Think.

wonder how many of our players would be good enough for a top four team, my guess probably only Agger, he's the one quality player we have for me.

The most accurate passes in Europe 2011-2012;

1.Leon Britton
2.Xavi
3.John Terry
4.Sergio Busquets
5.Thiago Silva
6.Joe Allen
7.Mikel Arteta
8.Yaya Toure
9.Scott Parker

Bar the two Swansea players who were managed by Brendan Rogers (which just shows you what an incredible achievement being in that list is), all the players in that list either finished in the top four last season or are regular top four players. Now, try to tell me that's just coincidence.

There's probably a million reasons why City aren't spending £30million on Joe Allen, the first is probably that his buy out clause is £15million.

Funny how Newcastle finished above us one season and are now uncatchable.

I would say 4th if I'm optimistic, 6th is realistic. If the owners back BR now and we signed a couple big players, 4th is acheivable, esp with arsenal losing RVP. Luckily football results aren't extrapolated from last season.

Not every top team can be in for every player. I haven't seen much of Allen, but the situation we're in means we're going to have to buy players like this and hope they step up. Unfortunately bad choices mean there's less to invest and it's clear most top players would go for other options over us now.

Big season that's for sure. I don't think you can say 4th is out of reach though, certainly not yet and if we make 4th (down to BR), we'll attract top players immediately (down to the owners...)

Cant see past chelsea or city winnin the league. Id go with United and Spurs to complete the top 4. Id say Arsenal 5th and us 6th. However anywhere lower than 7th will be a disaster A top 4 finish would be a dream but realistically this season 6th would be about right.
