KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The moment of truth

Heavan forbid, but will you still be saying that if we are hovering around the bottom 3 by crimbo?

Isn't that a failure to achieve a stated goal of the club? I can happily accept that it will take time to bed us in, and have written this season off as a result, but 3 seasons is a long time in the life of a footballer. You could change the entire 25-man squad over that period if needed.

I think Rodgers would be extremely disappointed if we had no CL footie after 3 seasons.

I think people give too much credence to the 17 point gap between ourselves and 4th last season. In the 1st half of the season we threw away so many points either from winning positions or not scoring goals while dominating. That is down to poor finishing more than luck but the law of averages says that if we created as many chances again we would score more goals. Even an extra 7/8 goals in the season could amount to 5 wins instead of draws adding 10 points quite easily.

4th should always be an aim in the back of our minds this season as it is attainable although will be difficult. What I don't think is difficult is a sustained challenge this year for 4th place.
