KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The outstanding target for this season ?

5th, 6th or 7th makes very little difference to me. Does 7th get Europa this year? I'm probably in the minority that wants us in the Europa league. Good chance of another European trophy if its taken seriously.

Either way this season has been a complete disaster. In fact 2 of Rodgers 3 seasons have been a complete disaster. He had plenty of excuses for why we were crap first season but I think he's run out of excuses now

A techncally oustanding post Stan

Thoroughly enjoyable read that!

Chuck Norris thumbs up from me

5:th means Europa League. 6:th means a qualification round first.

But if a team outside top 6 in EPL wins The League Cup and/or The FA Cup they take over the Europa League spot from N:o 5 and/or N:o 6 in EPL.

For me it's totally counter productive to miss out CL and instead be in the EL. That only means we will have less chance of qualifying for next years CL due to less focus on EPL.

I know this is tongue in cheek, but in all honesty 4th hasn't been on the table for a long time and thus Rodgers has failed miserably the absolute minimum target this season. Yet he's very secure in his job. Says a lot about FSG's ambitions and intentions for the club.

I can't see FSG keeping him but if they do, it will say a lot about their ambitions as you say.

Rodgers could be standingout pretty soon.

I can't see how you expect to win the Europa welsh, since we can't get past the semi's of the domestic cups, nor beat the WBAs of the Pl. The stark unvarnished truth is we don't have the quality to expect anything better than 8th, 7th or maybe 6th in a good season. The other elephant in the situation is what no one wants to notice, and that is without some brilliance from the much maligned Rodgers in the mid season period we'd be almost certainly in the bottom half of the table right now. There is a real and alarming deficit of quality both in the final third and at midfield, and on top of that our defense leaves much to be desired also. Then there' the deficit in the quality of our squad depth, lose one key player in any position and where do we look for a reliable replacement? Face it welsh, we've been dumbed down in successive windows in persuit of a silly policy and dreams of a massive moneyball at the end of a mystic rainbow...it's Darby o' Gill stuff and you couldn't make it up!

Even if he wasn't safe, I don't know why oeoe delude themselves that we'd get Klopp or someone if that ilk when Gary Monk or Sean Dyche would fit their bill.
