    I'm not disputing that. My point is simply that top 4 shouldn't be expected. Top4 means punching above weight.

    Agree it is, we achieved below par last year with 6th. Its the lack of joy, fun, or direction that has me disenchanted.

    What's the minimum for the league?

    It should be 5th since we've the 5th highest wage bill by a huge margin to Spurs who are behind us and we have also spent more (both gross and net) than everyone bar United, City and Chelsea over the last 5 years. We should be closer to 4th than 6th.

    Please don't say we've averaged 5th because of the outlier that was the 2013-1014 season. It was a great run at the title but we were awful the year before it and have declined rapidly after it. It's not the norm of how we've performed. He overachieved in one season, failed in the other two and isn't looking good this year.

    2013 - Failed
    2014- Overachieved
    2015 - Failed
    2016 - Well on his way to a fail

    We were awful in 12/13? That's painfully incorrect. We were fairly rubbish up until November that year, after that we were far from awful. If you are going to try and slate the man then at least have a bulls notion what you are talking about.

    We finished 7th and averaged 1.6 points a game. Is that not awful and well below what's expected?

    Add in the cup form of

    2013
    League Cup - Fourth Round
    FA Cup - Fourth Round
    Europa League - Last 32

    Sorry if my expectations are more than the above, but that's awful to me.

    From January to May we averaged 2.50 ppg. Is that awful? To say the whole season was awful is just plain incorrect.

    Overall the season was awful, went on a great run when we were out of the run for everything.

    What happened in the cups that year?

    Top 3? People who follow the league in Asia follow whoever is winning, Liverpool aren't even close to the draw we once were. Why do people need this explained? City, Chelsea, United and Arsenal are bigger clubs than Liverpool.

    Audience figures say different.

    We didn't, he's lying. We averaged 1.83 points per game.

    Is that ppg number like the fact he posted the other day about our defence being better if you exclude certain games?

    I posted a picture the other day that says differently. If that's not true then I'd take it up with Sky.

    Sorry, actually the one he posted could of said 2.5pts. There's a few shops of it going around but I did see one with 1.83pts per game. One also says he had 2.5pts from Jan to May last year which is also incorrect.

    Sorry I could be wrong about the one you posted, did'nt look back but have seen a few online now (after a google) that are wrong/shopped but also seen the correct one with 1.83 before so assumed it was that one.

    Even though it is all speculation still of course, there is an awful lot of smoke about Rodgers being effectively gone. We'll find out in the next few days though if there is any fire to match I suppose. If we don't win tomorrow though it'll set the flames going I'd say.

    Nothing wrong with arguing as long as it doesn't get out of hand or personal or bullying
