Seeing as we can finish no higher than 3rd and no lower than 6th. Where do we think we will finish?

At the start of the season I predicted 5th I think. Judging by our recent form I can't see it being any better than that.

Anyone else?

We are hobbling towards the finish line, fresh out of ideas with a one dimensional inexperienced Coaching set up, relying on other teams to falter.
I dread to make a prediction BUT we could make the chasm that is already open even wider from the teams we are aspiring to catch if we don't win our next 2 games. Chelsea, Spurs, Citeh, Arsenal & Utd may qualify for CL and leave us further behind.

CL qualification should have been the bare minimum expectation this season and if we fail then a lot of questions need answering. We had a season clear of European Competition whilst most of our competitors had Europe, the only one who had it like us were Chelsea and they won the league and have an FA Cup Final, with a new Manager! Our Manager had a headstart on what was required, having had more than half of last season to adjust what was needed for this season.

I don't often or ever agree with you but you are spot on. If we don't make CL. We will be light years behind the others and this season will be a complete failure. Chelsea bought well and have a very good bench. We have a decent 11 and can improve everywhere.

Ugh. This hasn't been a fun season.

I don't think the season will be a complete failure,we have improved massively in the league from last season. Utd having spent so much and being that far behind in the league...that's failure, and Mr super duper manager Guardiola would have been sacked by Christmas at most of Europes big clubs on his teams performance and outlay. We are not as bad as people make out and I reckon we will hold 3rd.

If we finish third above Mourinho and Guardiola that is a pretty unarguable success. 4th is also marked improvement. 5th would be disappointing, and 6th is impossible.

The thing with City and Utd is that if they finish 5th/6th they'll spend more and it won't matter that much.

We actually need it to tempt players. We can't tempt them with our wages.

Regardless Mr Bo as it stands we will never sign the players them clubs chase,economics dictates that . I would much rather get the scouts that root out the Kantes than spend zillions on the likes of Pogba.

Well Wham on Sunday is the next game for us.

Going into that game we will have played the same amount of matches as Citeh and Arsenal who are playing their 36:th game this Saturday.

If both those clubs drop points (Citeh preferrably 3 points), we might have a chance of 4:th place even if we only draw against Wham.

But more likely is that both Citeh and Arsenal have 3 more points on Saturday, which will put us under great pressure.

But on the other hand Spuds are playing Manure at home on Sunday evening. Another very interesting game. If we are very lucky and Arsenal and Manure lose their respective game this weekend, we might even be safe at 4:th on Sunday evening, if we manage to beat Wham!

"If we are very lucky and Arsenal and Manure lose their respective game this weekend" yeah that would help, luck is a lady and she might smile on us.
I heard one of my grand sons singing a lovely little ditty yesterday:
"Mr sun, mr golden sun, please shine down on me..."
So I think I might try meddling with it a little for us Liverpool fans:

Lady Luck, luck, lovely Lady Luck, please smile down on me,
Only two, two, I'm glad there's there's only two,
For my legs gave up on me,
There's Westham, ham, like eating bread and jam
If we can score two or three!
There's Middlesborough, burrough, not meeting 'em tomorrow
So we'll just have to wait and see!
Lady Luck, luck, oh lovely Lady Luck, please smile down on me!

Anyway re: the op I think we'll stutter into 4th, but we might need a smile from the lovely Lady Luck!
