Yes at the start of the season I'd have been over the moon for 2nd, but sh!t changes.


I don't see it like that, the reason being is I never believed we would go the whole 14 games without losing. If we had of got through the Chelsea game with a point and still lost the league I would agree with you. But the Chelsea game was always going to be a very tough game, its such a shame that Sunderland couldn't have held on for a deserved win against city then we could have lost to Chelsea and still won the league.

how can the season be a failure when all reds were wanting is to get into 4th place at best , ok just ran out of steam in the end , but the pluses massively outweight any minuses , the goals the football played , the way players have turned there playing careers around to become vital parts of the squad , for me certainly not failure , yes disappointment but not failure to go from what liverpool were under the end of benitez then roy and dalglish , to watching liverpool destroy teams week after week and making the home match day a pleasure and not a chore i say success .

yes all people wanted was 4th , but i also remember the rogers out of his depth and rogers will send us down threads , CL was sorted with 4 games to go not just 4th but straight in to the CL , i yes i would have liked a cup run , but what was served up was much better and showed a massive stride forward back to being a top team again .

Huge improvement for which Bren takes full credit but success comes with a title.

I don't think the Liverpool players will regard it as a success

I would be very concerned if they do

That has to hurt for any fan and given the players were in tears I presume they felt so too unless they were tears of joy at palace ?

Why does this matter ?

Because I want the team to win the title I want the fans to hurt like hell and the team squad I want FSG to sign top players and start a squad next year with fire in their belly and stuff it down man city and Chelsea's throats

That's what I want

You can stuff your logic and accepting our second best achievement (albeit in line with past expectations) I want the club to be a winner and that does not come through accepting second best or being pragmatic


Have to agree with much of that Stan. We all grasp the coming from a low ebb angle if that was the yardstick; sad thing is we haven't won it for 24 years because somewhere along the way it became acceptable to let people of the hook for abysmal failure at this club and that mediocrity was only a blip.

Every season should still be based upon 'First is first second is nowhere'. Rogers believes in that thankfully as much as Shankly did.

He will be no more impressed next season than us if we are not showing first in that table after 38 have been played.

We finished second, it was a failure. This is LFC not anywhere else.

it was both, we achieved our primary objective, but then our ambition changed, we dragged ourselves into contention and let it get away from us. we were silly against chelsea, we didnt play well and lost the league that day.
