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

With Lucas playing, we'll get more out of Gerrard and Sahin (when he plays) too, I think. He makes everyone around him look good. Gerrard is more free because he trusts Lucas and doesn't have to chase things down as much. Sahin will be able sit back and pick passes, and Joe will able to play his own game. Lucas coming back will be like 2 new signings: him and our midfielders being able to play their respective games better.

We don't have a hope in hell of getting to fourth place this season no matter what maths you employ.

That said, Spurs, Newcastle and a couple of others are doing their best to ensure they finish below us judging on their recent form, so who knows...?

I think there is still a bit of a gulf between Arsenal who I consider the fourth best team in the country and Spurs who for me are fifth. I think it was demonstrated by how easily they beat us at Anfield earlier on in the season when we were at full strenghth, we never got near them that day and they were not our of second gear. I think if Arsenal did have a bad season and it would really have to be disasterous as last season proved because they were poor last season and still qualified comfortably, then the teams chasing would have to be really good and have there own house in order so as to capitalise and for me Liverpool with just 3 wins all season, away at Norwich and at home to the mighty Reading and Wigan is nowhere near enough for fans to start talkin about 4th place...

We get one weekend of good results and the knee jerkers come out. 4th is out of the question.

Yes.

I think 4th is very hard to attain but not impossible but it would require some luck and investment.

Would you say that 4th is out of the question for Everton or Newcastle?

Football does not follow statistical trends if did the bookies would be out of business. Istanbul half time is an example but there are many others. The danger is Arsenal and they are undoubtably better than us but we are just 4 points behind them. We should be aiming for 4th place and I am sure the clubs hierarchy are. Whether it is realistic who knows but its certainly possible.

yes I would and it is our of the question for our other rivals West Brom, Fulham and Stoke....

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool still have every chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season. < Past it and delusional.

Another way of looking at it Jamie has the Liverpool spirit never give up till its over. And its a long way from over just now.
