We'll agree to disagree. No point arguing when neither of us will budge.

It's a shame we can't see the Reserves play, sounds like the kids are on fire at the moment. Amoo scoring twice this morning against Wolves. Top work from Wilson, Suso and Shelvey.

We're going to win the (reserves) league.
 
Was thinking last night. What are your honest expectations for this year in the EPL. All bias aside.
Do you think that we can make the top 4?
14 Sep 23:54 · edited 09 Sep 05:01
I've thought about this. We need to as always aim high. We are Liverpool and there are always huge expectations on us however with our current owners and investment issues it's clearly causing issues on and off the field.

Win the league? No. Top 4 should be our goal, regardless of what's going on off the field we still need to aim high. It urks me to hear Roy say things like he didn't expect us to win against Brum. We should always go into a match positive and expecting to win. Expect to draw and players play for draws. Where's the drive and passion?

Realistically, I think we'll slot into the 5-7 ranks (probably 6). It's going to be another close end of the season I feel. Citeh and Spurs could be scrapping over the 4th spot again. Can't see Villa up there. Maybe Everton can?

Goal differential will be important again which is why we need to get our A into G. None of this pansying around with a defensive lineup. Why not have a license to attack? What have we got to lose? No one else is expecting anything from us...

We're only 3 points adrift of fourth spot, we just need to stay in reach and fight our damned Red arses off.

I am fairly sure that Spurs won't make top 4 but surely we should still be fighting for that 4th place with City..

Like you, it does make me disappointed when I hear Pepe saying we gained a point vs Brummies.Surely with Torres, J Cole and Stevie G we have one of the strongest front 3? i suppose if one of them is off there game/ injured then it all goes to kaka.
 
Man I am soo nervous/ excited to see what happens after October the 6th. We could be leeds or we could be Chelsea!!

I'm nervous/excited about the Manc's game... I'm quietly confident. I'll be more so with a good win on Friday.

Absolutely spot on. Need to aim for Top Four, but personally don't think we will get there. Think attacking will come once Cole, Meireles start to play and find their feet a little more. At least, hoping that...
 
Poulsen was sh*te, btw.
 
I just had a fking incredible day though, so yeah, we're gonna win at OT, win on Friday, get the Yanks Out and make Top Four. Fk the haters, EN is HAPPYYYYYYYYYY!

I'm picking 6th but anywhere between 5 and 8 is realistic.  Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, City, and Villa are all contenders for last Champions League spot and Europa.

Anyway, real reason I'm on here is to say that you guys better beat United!  If Reina plays like he did against Birmingham then that's a good start - he was phenomenal.

No pressure Nemanja, being Captain and all.

Going to be a steep mountain to climb. Rooney will be back raring to go.

Heaps of rumours flying around that Hicks and Gillet will be at Anfield tomorrow for the Europa match. I hope they get mauled.

Righto, line up looks ok:

Reina, Kelly, Kygriakos, Agger, Konchesky, Maxi, Spearing, Meireles, Babel, Cole, Ngog

Bench: Jones, Johnson, Lucas, Carragher, Pacheco, Shelvey, Eccleston

Looking pretty flat, babel is giving the ball away way to much for my liking. Meireles looked better playing in front of the midfield on the weekend against brum.

So what has Roy done differently since he took over?
