Some absolute melts earlier in this thread, some of whom are nowhere to be seen anymore. Must be through sheer embarrassment

We are title contenders for sure. Very very strong all across the pitch. I do think a DM would still be a great option ie Andre is someone athletic as a DM in January

ItzdoctorZ · « **Reply #1522 on:** October 31, 2023, 12:06:43 pm »

We'll see who the title contenders are by Christmas, still too early imo.

Unless people want to add Aston Villa in the title race

Zlen · « **Reply #1523 on:** October 31, 2023, 12:08:58 pm »

No need to win the title, we're still developing.
I'll be ok with both cups and the Europa League.

Top 4 feels nailed on which is such a relief given my concerns about where we were heading during last season. A proper title challenge feels possible, we need to be lucky with injuries - definitely ours but also City’s, Rodri being out for a stint would be a game changer.

Who wouldn’t have taken 3 points behind City after 11 games if offered it at the start of the season?

If Chelsea take a minimum 1 point (possibly a big if) from their next 2 games and we win at home to Brentford, it’s been a really good start regardless of the Luton result

Top 4.

The Europa League will depend on our transfers.

Better than expected👍

We will definitely make top four. If we sign Lavia and a left-sided CB, we will be in the mix for the title. The Europa League is ours. The kids will win the League Cup, but we will fall in the semifinals of the FA Cup.

Not too bad... Got the top four and the kids winning the League Cup right.

Screwed up with the Europa League (which should have been easily ours), and semifinals of the FA Cup was one game too far.

I think if City are in for an 80-85 point season, someone else will win the league.

Nope.

kop306 · « **Reply #1531 on:** May 20, 2024, 06:22:42 pm »

i think we will win the league next season

we will get 2 or 3 really top quality players in the summer

another player from the academy will make the first team, could be trey or danns

jurgen was really unlucky in the games against city

so many games at anfield that we should have won diaz misses a sitter and salah scores a worldie and we still dont win

I am not convinced the problems from last season have been properly addressed and, considering the extra time farago means something like 3 extra games over a season, I feel like the small, inexperienced squad Liverpool have will cost them.

I am not confidentof a return to the CL, even with 5th place now a slot. I am thinking 6th. But 5th is a possibility. Would be surprised if they managed to go better than that, truthfully.

Is what I said. I reckon i was partially right about not addressing the problems, but was happy to be proved wrong by going 15-20 points better than last season.

Still think midfield is a problem, far too open and vulnerable, that has to be addressed with new signings, there is no combination of existing players that makes up for speed and strength of a Rice or a Rodri.

Personally was very surprised by Rice, thought he would be a lot worse. But it shows what a difference a good holding midfielder can make (could Liverpool have won the league with Fabino instead of Endo? Doesn't bear thinking about really).

If Slot can get the right new players and get a good start I would be confident of 3rd again next season:

City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea

(I see Spurs imploding and Villa struggling with the CL).

If he makes the right additions (and its only one or two), a title challenge.

G Richards · « **Reply #1535 on:** May 20, 2024, 07:15:25 pm »

Bold predictions for the 2024-25 season:

1. We finish the season as Premier League champions.
2. Darwin Nunez scores 20+ league goals.
3. We have the second best defensive record in the Prem.
4. Slot signs Wieffer.
5. Salah is replaced by Kudus.

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #1536 on:** May 20, 2024, 08:51:46 pm »

Only one champions next season. Ipswich Town.

Relegation: The winners of Southampton v Leeds, Brentford and Man United.

Top 4 challenge. I can’t see anything more than that unless we bring in some signings. I can see villa dropout similar to Newcastle. But I think we need to strengthen the midfield. It looks so weak at times. Physically and technically. A good run in the champions league is vital also.

dirkster · « **Reply #1539 on:** May 20, 2024, 10:12:40 pm »

1. Premier League champions
2. Champions League semi finalists.

Fairly sure you are not serious but I'd say mathematically able to get top 4 after game week 34 fixtures have been played.

Red_Mist · « **Reply #1542 on:** May 20, 2024, 10:40:29 pm »

I think we’ll surprise a few again, especially those that will inevitably write us off early doors.

CornerTakenQuickly · « **Reply #1543 on:** May 20, 2024, 11:00:42 pm »

Nunez to score 4 in a game. Score 100 goals in the prem, but finish 2nd or 3rd. Win a game 8-0. Just see us scoring a lot of goals, but probably won't win anything, due to being quite up and down. Mix 17/18 and 13/14 together and this is probably what you get.

kermit^^ · « **Reply #1544 on:** May 21, 2024, 05:09:58 am »

Top 3 & CL final.
And let the kids have fun in both domestic cups.

ScouserAtHeart · « **Reply #1545 on:** May 21, 2024, 05:26:06 am »

5th place, but that's enough for CL qualification
We finish between 9th and 24th in the new CL table, go into the playoffs and win, but go out in the round of 16
4th round of the FA Cup
Quarterfinals of the League Cup

Bit of a meh season all round as we bed in a new manager and new signings

mullyred94 · « **Reply #1546 on:** May 21, 2024, 06:36:14 am »

Darwin wins golden boot and we finish 3rd again just slightly not as close to the top 2 as this year.

ItzdoctorZ · « **Reply #1547 on:** May 21, 2024, 07:27:14 am »

3rd place finish again as only City and Arsenal are definitely better than Liverpool right now.

Champions League quarter finals

Fa Cup Final

rob1966 · « **Reply #1548 on:** May 21, 2024, 07:31:09 am »

Win the PL

Champions League semis

Win the LC with the kids

FA Cup - 3rd/4th round at best.

I’d settle for that!

I was less than impressed at first, but the more I learn about Arne, he seems the perfect choice.

That's where I'm at too with Slot. Plus, Jurgen left a team that he'd have likely won the league with if he made a few tweaks, so there's nothing to suggest Slot can't do it, he's not Hodgson.

Definitely.
There’s a big summer ahead tho. We might not need a lot of signings but we do need 2 or 3 top quality ones. A no. 6 and a prolific goal scorer would be nice!

NickoH · « **Reply #1552 on:** May 21, 2024, 08:58:09 am »

3rd
Win a domestic

Quote from: Crosby Nick on August 9, 2023, 10:37:25 am

Obviously have no idea how accurate that is and it could be wrong but a couple of things stood out.

Having us down as most likely for 3rd sounds fair. We dropped off badly last season but I still fancy us to finish above United and Newcastle this year.

And isn’t it pretty shocking that a team can be 90% likely to be Champions before a ball is kicked. Really not a good look for any league pretending to be open.

Was quoting some prediction thing. Had City 90% likely to win it obviously. That and is being 3rd ended up true. Some of the shouts for 5th or 6th always felt a bit off.

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #1554 on:** May 21, 2024, 09:02:51 am »

Ok, you asked for a bold prediction.

Mine would be us winning the Champions League next season. I think the league will be very difficult with a new manager and a new system as you need to close to perfection to stand a chance.

But the Champions League? Liverpool Football Club always has a realistic chance of winning it no matter what.

This is not my expectation but us reaching another final or even winning should never be a surprise. A cup competition like it can absorb the inconsistencies that change can bring.

Make it out of the group and I back us in any two-legged tie.

Time flies

I really believe we can win it. Slot should address the weaknesses that we have here and there as expected.

Why not? This is Liverpool. It's always realistic.

League and CL double is achieveable with this team. Few tweaks to make us more solid and who knows?

Draex · « **Reply #1558 on:** May 21, 2024, 09:38:29 am »

I think we'll get to the quarters of the CL, come 2nd in the league and win a cup.

I do think the season after we'll win the league or CL.

MiniSted has already ragged his team to death the last 2 seasons chasing cheaty, I can see them starting to get injuries and suffer with the 60+ season slogs.

stockdam · « **Reply #1559 on:** May 21, 2024, 09:46:57 am »

We have a good squad that should finish top 4. We had an awful run of injuries this year and if we can minimise these then there’s no reason not to expect top 3.

Bradley and Quansah have shown they are good enough to be in and around the first team. Danns, McConnell, Clark, Doak will continue to improve.

Bring in a world class DM and possibly a wide forward then we will have a very competitive team. There’s no reason for Slot to make and significant tactical changes other than to stiffen up our defensive play (all over the pitch).

If we get off to a good start and keep our players fit then we’ll be challenging for top spot again.
