Topic: What's your bold predictions for the next season?

[El Ninos Black Eye]

We’re winning this again! City will be our biggest rivals but eventually I think we’ll break them.  Chelsea will be a big threat but I think they draw too many and drop silly points due to Tuchel naturally being a cautious manager. They’ll be 1-0 up in games and trying to kill but concede late on. Not worried about United whilst Ole is in charge  don’t care who is in their team.  They remind me a bit of us in 16/17 up until Xmas if 17/18 when Van Dijk comes in. They’ll batter a lot of teams, but also lose high scoring games and come unstuck against the top teams. 
We’re already 8 points better off on last, on a result comparison basis
Fulham was the first away against a promoted team so replace that with Norwich so +2 points
Burnley we lost at home so +3 points
Chelsea we lost at home so + 1 point
Leeds we drew away so + 2 point

We’ve got this!

[Carra-ton]

We are short in squad numbers, for me we can't win the league with the squad depth. 3rd is most probable finish.

This is the boldest, most out of character prediction I’ve seen so far in keeping with the mood of the thread

[Jookie]

In about 9 days time it'll be time to revisit this thread and see who's Nostradamus and who is maybe a half glass full type of person.

This will probably sum up the conclusion after revisiting some of the predictions from August 2021 (the transfer thread in August 2021 would be equally interesting):

Some of you are fucking idiots.

Including myself who was dismissing the idea that Leeds may struggle back in August.

[nerdster4]

If we win the Cl and don’t win the league this season , there is a bit of me that wants a very specific league focus next season. We have won everything under klopp and the one real goal left will be to usurp the Man U league total . I would have no problem in that very specific situation rotating enormously in the 3 cups (4 even if you include the Cwc) in order to give the league full attention . With city around plus Haaland 90 plus points will be needed again

[ToneLa]

A treble

We won't win one of the domestic cups

Edit: have found my last post in this thread. Its nearly time!!

[gazzam1963]

Gonna win the lot.

May have the winner ..says a prayer

[Coolie High]

Liverpool premier league and champions league double.

Not bad...

[disgraced cake]

Right now, I think we'll be top 2 in the league and one of the final 4 in the Champions League. That's not to say 2nd place and semi finalists, we could win one or both, but we also ... could not.

As for the league, I'd expect ourselves and Man City to be going for it at the end. Even going into last season, off the back of quite a few losses in the 19/20 season, many still favoured City to go in last season and win it, and after an average start they put a great run together. I'm not sure I see them going 15/20 odd games without defeat, but they aren't going to be easy to top. I'd love for the Champions League defeat to stunt them and see them unable to recover, but I can't really see it doing so, they'll win the majority of their games. Tough one to call but if the injury department is kind to us this year, we should more than fancy our chances.

In Europe, again I think we'll be keen to take the crown back. We went out in pretty disappointing fashion to the Madrid sides in the past couple of years, but I think the end of last season and the fight to get back into the Champions League when it looked unlikely may just spur us on. We were never going to win that tournament without a crowd, and I never felt confident of beating Real Madrid at all, really it was over after the first game. We're probably in for a tougher group than last year, but fans being back is massive, especially if we can get into the knockouts. There's no team that particularly worries me, but they'll always fear playing Liverpool, especially at Anfield. First winners in the post away goals competition?

In the FA Cup and League Cup, hopefully we can win one as we're well overdue to do so. Ideally we can get some kinder draws as we're always getting prem sides. Some lower league draws would be nice where you can rotate and give minutes to squad players and youngsters, but if we draw a good team there's no reason not to play a strong side. I think we actually did that against Arsenal and United last season in the cups but were just missing the goal against Arsenal and the presence of a Van Dijk against United. The key players may not have to play 6 or 7 games in either competition, but they should be there if we're in the latter stages.

Overall I think we stand a good chance of winning silverware this season, with key men back and Anfield hopefully full throughout. We ended last season with outstanding form, and if we can start the league season well with plenty of wins, hopefully we never look back, and take the form into Europe and the other competitions.

Never explicitly predicted a winner for everything but I'd say I guessed quite well. The league has gone down to the wire with ourselves and City and to be fair I did fancy them and expect them to see it through tomorrow. Fancied us to out-do our last two Champions League attempts after going out to both Madrid sides after winning it ... only to meet a Madrid side again in the final game  We just have to do our final part in Paris to cap off an amazing season regardless of tomorrow's outcome.

League Cup and FA Cup feel hard to predict given the draws and all but both have worked out pretty well

Club World Champions

this season and next

The reds have got no money, but we'll still win the league

Ah so close 

This was accurate at least, luckily

Klopp signs contract extension

[The_Nomad]

We fucking win the lot. 💪🏾

[redk84]

We will win the league.
Honestly believe it...city will not be as good as everyone thinks with haaland

[hide5seek]

City will walk  the league. We'll come  second.

[Caps4444]

Unfortunately I feel that City will finally win the Champions League.

It’s like Chelsea between 2005 and 2012.

They get to lots of semis and a final and then eventually win it.

I think we will win the league, personally.

[David in Edinburgh]

Let's just do the quad next season. Haters can GTF!

[GreatEx]

I think we'll take the league again, last time we ran City to the wire to defend the title they got blown away trying to make it 3, and I fully expect their new galactico will take a while to settle.

[M4tt]

League and European Cup double

[Dree]

If we keep the front 5 and sign a Wijnaldum replacement we’ll win more big games and win the league. Otherwise probably a similar season!

[meady1981]

I think fighting on four fronts to the end is pretty unhealthy and is a detriment to the strength of team at the business end of the season.
I'd like to jib off the two cups early doors and go full throttle in the league.

[RedSince86]

PL and winning #7 in the Atatürk (Anfield East).

Carvalho will be a revelation for us.

[UntouchableLuis]

Think we get one of the big trophies over the line next season. I'll take that right now.

[kennedy81]

Jib the domestic cups and win the two that matter.

[killer-heels]

Dont think the domestic cups dont matter otherwise calling this season a great one is odd.

[McSquared]

The last couple of weeks are going to inject something extra into the lads for next season and we will win the league, the cl or both

[[new username under construction]]

We'll jib off one of the cups, far to many games. Will win the league

[killer-heels]

There is only one domestic cup game to play this year for us. Safe to say the domestic cups wont be a factor for a while.

[VictoryFor96]

1-) Will win the charity shield vs City

2-) Will win league cup

3-) Eliminated in early rounds on fa cup

4-) Will be 3rd in group stage in CL and win Europa League.

5-) Will be 3rd in the league. (We will focus on Europa League and will rotate players in league)

[Circa1892]

Who the fuck is in our CL group in this scenario?

[McSquared]

1-) Will win the charity shield vs City

Think you’re on the wrong forum lid

[M4tt]

I think we knock City out of Europe too

[Solomon Grundy]

I think we'll either win the league, the CL or both next season.

[Solomon Grundy]

1-) Will win the charity shield vs City

Haha. Bit of a manc/bluenose stench to this post. If they're your bold predictions, I'd hate to see your realistic ones.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Jib the domestic cups and win the two that matter.

Don't really get this. We didn't take the cups any more seriously this season compared to others, it's just that we have a deeper squad now and managed to get through the earlier rounds whereas we hadn't done so previously. It will be exactly the same next season.

[keano7]

Glad of the two month break after the last week.

I think we’ll put all our eggs in the big 2 competitions next season and playing second strings throughout the domestic cup comps even if we get to the final. I think for Klopp it was getting over the line on the two domestic cup comps which have evaded him so far to complete the set.

City are a cheat team though so going through a season and losing 1 game at most is realistically what you have to aim for to win it.

[KloppCorn]

1-) Will win the charity shield vs City

2-) Will win league cup

3-) Eliminated in early rounds on fa cup

4-) Will be 3rd in group stage in CL and win Europa League.

5-) Will be 3rd in the league. (We will focus on Europa League and will rotate players in league)

Klopp would never rotate the league for Europa

Smelly take

Probably, though it'd be nice to win one of the big important ones.

[Robotforaday]

I think next season we will win the league. Not a clue about the rest.

[ToneLa]

7.

[stevieG786]

Priority for me is

1. League (92 points and not winning will motivate the team to a near perfect campaign)
2. European cup (losing 1-0 to a team we battered will motivate the team again)




3. FA cup - play the kids, if we make it to the semis play the 2nd team and see what happens
4. League cup - play the kids, all the way, unless we make the final.


I think we’ll do the league/champions league double next season
