KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is 4th place that unrealistic?

fourth for me is out of the question, fifth or sixth most highly unlikely, for me top 10 with a points tally better than 52 which we got last season will be improvement for me, give up on the cups with Rogers and his weakend team philosophy. I know we are a decent unbeaten run at the moment but that should'nt cloud peoples judgements as nearly all are draws and not wins, its been over two years since we won more than two games on the bounce and have only won about 7 games since December 31 last year including 4 home games we still have work to do.

With our erratic performances and, until recently, lack of goals I think we are as likely to end up 4th from bottom as 4th from top. 8th-10th is most realistic this season

all depends on where we go from here, if we build on the win, and get a result against Swansea, we then have a big 6 pointer against Spurs, win that and we overtake spurs and will be in a position to push on and have a go at 4th provided we strengthen in Jan.
Defeat or even a draw against Swansea and I think we'll be out of contention as we'll have lost any momentum we might have started to build.

Next 3 games are massive for us and I think in 2 weeks time we'll have a better idea of where we're heading

I just look at our team and squad compared with the teams also pushing for a top 6 place, I honestly think Spurs have a better team with more class players than us we have only Suarez, Spurs have Bale, Lennon, Defoe who are capable of winning you games, Newcastle have Cisse, Ba, Cabaye and Ben Arfa who can all win games out of nothing while, Everton to me are just a better well organised all round team, I know Newcastle, Spurs and Everton have all had bad results recently but I just feel we have been unbeaten in 7 and still have'nt overtaken Spurs or Everton and have just gone ahead of Newcastle yesterday which to me says it all really, we are playing flat out nearly and our good run wont last forever.

Call me whatever you want but i think we can take the League still.

as much as the fan (and optimist) in me would love so see us get 4th this season, i just can see us quite getting there. you can see that there are alot of plusses at the moment for the club.

I take joe's point that everton are looking good there at the moment. that said moyes has been there a long time and has taken that time to stabilise the club and to build a good balance.

i think that we will be mixing it for fourth at points in the season but we may end up in 5th or 6th. in a long term plan to get back into champos league, personally i think that would be a satifactory position for the club for now.

that's a point joe. but that's a stats argument. another way of putting that stats argument is that 3 of those 7 wins have been in out last 7 games, it could be also interpreted as a change in form.

It's amazing what win can do, we had few few results go our way this weekend. I've said before if we stay within 6-8 points by end of jan AND we make 2-3 quality signing I think we can achieve 4th.
If we beat Swansea away and can get a draw against spurs at least we have done very well.
I think we have to look at this thread after jan!

I think it's a possibility to get 4th but we need Suarez to stay out there. With Lucas returning soon we will be strengthened and Allen will be able to play his more natural role and with a bit of investment in January then it's definately possible.
Do I think we will get 4th, maybe, is it possible to get 4th, anything is possible!
