Official Liverpool FC thread Vol 5 - "Next Year Is Our Year"
Discussion
So we are back, the outlook is improving I feel, very happy with the teams perofrmance in the last 2 games, not to mention the spirit which seems to be growing in leaps and bounds. Whilst we may not reach the heady heights of 4th, I believe we will be close. Hopefully with a cup or 3 in the trophy room as well

I don't think you'll be within 15 points of 4th. If ever there was a game to win it was yesterday, against the arch enemy, on the first date at home after the Hillsborough decision. I can't remember the whole game but I don't remember chance after chance or anything.Still, the youngsters will get a chance, the question is just how long will the fans take "promising outlook" over results?

And bar a couple of "decisions" we may well have had the result we wanted. But no use crying over spilled milk. The second part of your post for me is an easy answer - as long as it takes within reason ie if we are still sitting 20 - 30 points of the title in 2/3 seasons then enough. I do not buy into the instant results thinking and use the likes of SAF ( shudder ) and Wenger as examples of what I think we should be doing. All great sides have one of two things in common - insane amounts of cash thrown at them or given time to build a top side. I prefer the latter route as it is far more sustainable in the long term. All IMHO of course Still, the youngsters will get a chance, the question is just how long will the fans take "promising outlook" over results?

Top 10 and encouraging signs for the future ...
Seriously? for Liverpool football club that is 'acceptable'? Flip Martian said:
Not long term, no. You think Rodgers is a miracle worker? We are in a complete mess. In a worse state than Souness left us in. Unless there are clear signs that Rodgers really doesn't know what he's doing, I suspect his job is secure this season. He will need that time to get us anywhere close to top 4. I, and many others, have already written off this season as a rebuilding season. Expectations are not that high - just looking for signs of getting back on track.
Totally agree with this. I'd settle with top 10 this season as long as I see an improvement in the performance of the team and integration of youth to replace/rotate the weaker members of the team. I would however think it inexcusable to not get a striker in during the January window. ascayman said:

Would you prefer a new sticker, or would you bring back Carroll, (assuming he isn't injured)?
Didn't he get injured a few weeks ago? I'd like to see him get a bit of a run in the squad even if it is just to get him a few goals to raise his stock before selling. I saw a good few opportunities for crosses from Sterling and even Downing in the last couple of games when he'd be ideal to put the wind up the defence.Flip Martian said:

I happen to think rodgers is an excellent manager. i also happen to think if he finishes 9th he'll be out before you can say Harry Redknapp. 
You're not top 4 material granted (you might want to explain that to a few on here) but you’re not 10th bad either.
You still have a pretty good goalie, the england captain, suarez and a host of pretty exciting youngsters.
7th 8th at the worst and that would be pretty disappointing imho.

We are well above a top 10 team sorry Flip, we will in the top 6, IT IS STILL VERY EARLY DOORS yet, remember Arsenal last year?? I am not saying we are as good as Arsenal but we are more than capable of going on a decent run. We are showing signs of understanding the way he wants to play and by that I dont mean passing I mean movement off the ball, come Nov/Dec I really fancy us to get going ...MadMullah said:
So 2 idiots post on twitter something that they later withdraw and this fool of a referee decides to take offence and complain to the police. As unpleasant as it may seem how is wishing that someone had died of cancer to be a criminal offence? Attention seeking imbecile who should be reflecting on his own inadequacies.
I'm not even sure how stuff like this even makes the news.

When I looked last night there were many many tweets directed at him, to the point that Mark Halsey Cancer was trending in the UK at one point
