Actually Jay, Sunderland are 11th and we beat them 3-0. What I'm saying is we've been good at getting points from the lower teams - which is why we're 7th (3 points off Arsenal) and not 11th or 12th. Most of our games are against those 'lower' sides now, and the only 3 games we have against higher teams (Chelsea/Spurs/Everton) are all at Anfield.
If we can change that record, and keep racking up good results against the lower sides, as we have been doing, then I fancy us to go on a good run. The games against those 3 sides will be massive 6 pointers, especially the Everton game.
I genuinely think the signs are all positive and I really honestly cannot understand the wave of negativity from some quarters on this forum. It's the only place I've seen such negativity from LFC fans lately.
6th would definitely be a good finish, 5th would be excellent progress. An 4th finish (albeit an outside chance) would be an incredible achievement).
Agree with the way you would appraise BR at the end of the season. Would just that below 7th would be an average finish and there was no point in replcing KD with BR and anything below 7th would be a really poor performance. [/quote]
I would of settled for 7th or 8th with a cup, but them positions without having a really good go at trying to win a cup is a disgrace considering we have'nt competed in any cups this season properly and all Rodgers has done is concentrate on the league. I think the saving grace for Rodgers is fans of this Club dont have high expectations, if fans did and he was managing one of the big Clubs he would be expected to fight on more than just one front, the League in his case, and the fans of any other top club would be on his back...

So you would settle with a KD type performance then, ie, 7th/8th + a Cup?
