KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Would a season like last season be good enough?

i mean similar league form but no trophies or cup finals would that be good enough ?

No chance last season for me was a terrible one and could'nt face going through that again, it was so close to being exactly the same season as 1985 for me with United and Everton both clearing up on the trophies while we ended up empty handed. Going into the last 2 weeks of the season we were faced with a very real possibility of United having won the World Club title of best team in the world, the League cup, 18th Premiership title and poised to win the fourth Champions league cup and to make things worse Everton with a chance of winning the F.A.Cup. For me it was a a very uncomfortable season and i dont care about finishing second or having a record points tally at the end of the day it's another season gone where we have been shown to be not good enough again and United leveling our league wins makes it makes it 10 times worse our only silver lining was Barca has delayed them going one behind in European Cups and lets face it only a matter of time before they do draw level in the next few seasons and overtake our 18 titles.

If we can hang on to the Monster and Alonso, keep Torres and Gerrard fit and uninjured for the vast majority of the season, and p'raps get someone up front to help Torres out when he's knackered, then yes, I believe next season will be 'THE' year.
Too many damed 'IF's there for my liking however, so I'm going to have to say no again sadly. Just my opinion of course

sorry this club cannot accept failure anymore.

Not a truer word spoken, you will have a hard job convincing people on here though because they have learnt to accept mediocrity because its nearly a quarter of a century since we last won the league.

We need to make the next step. If we don't show a marked improvement we will get left behind. Chelsea are about to spend a fortune, City will have an immense squad and the scum have money to burn after rat boy jumped ship.

definately not! we need to pick up some silverware along the way. if we want to keep the current squad together and attract high profile players we need to add to the trophy cabinet. obviously the league has to be our main focus but the fa cup or champions league would be a good achievement also. i just hope we can sign one or two more attacking players with real quality to help break down the lesser teams on their turf who seem happy to defend for a draw. those games next season against the likes of stoke, hull, and west ham could determine whether we finish second again or be crowned champions. just look at the "gran slam table" on our day we can beat anyone!

I think any sort of cup would be a step up from last season ok league form needs to be like from febuary onwards not the style of play before the middlesboro away game , and benitez MUST take the domestic cups far more serious inc the league cup , liverpool football club cannot go 4 seasons without a cup or cup final , and liverpool cannot rely on the champions league for that .

In a word.......no. Alot of us were pleased with last season cause it showed improvement on what we had previously been seeing. If we were to be the same next season after (probably) spending a large amount of dosh on a few new additions, then it would be a failure. We need to improve and the only real way we are going to do that is by winning some trophies. I'm sure Rafa would be thinking the same thing.

last season was a massive achievement by OUR standards over the last 19 years but it was not quite enough.
the other will have made new big signings so we will have to improve also to stand a chance.

having said this however, the chavs have a new manager who may not be an instant success, le arse are building again as are the mancs who have lost their best player, plus Teves and the likes of Scholls and Giggs aren't what they were so maybe we can steel a march on these 3 next season. Man city will have some great players but winning the league needs more than that!
