That can't be a success in anyone's language cant be failure either , if its failure it means every liverpool manager since 1990 dalglish has failed thats every liverpool manager if you think this season was a fail .

You could argue that's true they have failed Liverpool not winning the title fir 24 years is not something to be proud of
I remember in the 80,s taunting utd fans 26 years ain't heard that for a while

That we came so close was a dissapointment, but I don't think we should change season aims half way through. If the target was top4, and many thought that doubtful, finishing 2nd can't be considered anything other than a success.
Southampton were looking to Europe at one point of the season, but they'd consider 8th a success I think due to the improvement shown from the previous season.
The players were rightfully gutted, they don't see it as a fan would at the start of the season during the last couple of matches when they let it slip.
Overall I think they'd see the season as a success too.
Next season however...

Of course the season was a success but that misses the point.
We lost the title no fan in their right mind can be relaxed about that. The moving goalpost argument is simply proposterous unless you see football as something like a performance appraisal system in a company where you set targets at the begining of the year and get a bonus and pay rise if you meet them.
If that's how you see football vish then that's fine but personally I don't. I was gutted we did not win the title and will be so next year I know no other way
