I would. I want to win the Premiership and CL. Neither will happen without finishing top 4. The longer we are out of the top 4, the harder it is to win those trophies.

4th should be our goal.

Perhaps Europa League, I think that would be good to do well in as it would increase our profile again around Europe.

However, if there is no further investment in the squad, then its quite concerning and I'd be very worried for next season.

It's our year!

(suppose someone had to say it)

[gafferino]

We need CL to attract top players. Simple as.

[LuckyLloyd]

Also, just to inject some ****ing realism into the la la land this thread has become in recent months:

WE WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE THIS SEASON

Manager isn't near good enough
Squad isn't good enough

Lots of people setting themselves up to repeat the idiocy that was in the wind towards the end of last season and 2009 / 10.

If Rodgers got towards 65 points or got us in a couple of Cup semi finals or more then we should all be delighted with that - would be a hell of a result. I don't think we'll get near either mind.

How do you even know this? We haven't even played any ****ing games yet.

I would see us finishing in the top 6 as being a realistic prediction. Anything higher would be impressive IMO.

Im not sure, Im almost guaranteed that we wont qualify for CL, but im sure we'll put up a damn good fight for it and probably end up 5th/6th and push through the Europa League.

[GavRedKing]

For what its worth I think Liverpool will be in the mix for European places going into April this year but the competition for UCL is getting tougher and tougher each year, I'd hate to try and predict the finishing positions for top 6.

[noodler]

Defending the Carling Cup has to be the priority.

Don't think anyone is saying we will. However I don't want to see our manager
coming out and giving the players a free pass for not bothering in a premiership game because they have there minds on a cup game.
