    Cliche time: Our season starts here!

    If we can string a couple more wins together, it really is all to play for.


    We're slowly working our way into this season whilst a lot of our rivals (spurs, newcastle, arsenal) seem to be losing ground despite much better starts. Over the past 6 games we've got 10 points, and only city, manU & west brom have bettered that.

    Who knows maybe both 3rd & 4th spot are up for grabs, as Chelsea also to now seem a bit disjointed.

    If we're within 5 points of 4th come January, we have any chance.

      If we make it into the CL this season, I'll eat my socks.
      Oh I don't know.

            Too early to be talking about this. I'd leave it till March if we are still in the running for 4th.

                  Of course mate, IMO though we have to be realistic.

                  If by January we are within few points away from 4th spot and we have made some good signings we be in a great position, but at the moment IMO not a chance.

                    I alwasys thought there was an outside chance and that chance is only getting better. I can't see Chelsea not getting 3rd. But 2points and 4 points off arsenal and spurs who will probably be the main contenders, Why would you not think its realistic.

                    You would hope if we are that close come January we will out spend our rivals to.

                        I don't think Chelsea are as nailed on for 4th as some may think. Don't forget they finished 6th last season, and they have probably the worst manager out of the top 7 teams.

                        As you say, if we get to the transfer window within touching distance, we can then strengthen.

                        We may not be favourites for a CL spot, but we certainley have every chance. Apart from the manchester clubs, there are some very inconsistent teams in this league.

                            We are 8 points behind high flying west brom who are 4th at the minute. Steve Clarke is doing a blinding job for them

                              I agree that i do think we will improve & i also feel Rogers has been very unlucky with a number of things since coming to LFC.

                              Everton have to be considered up there too. But for me we lack consistency and especially our home form is what we have to sort out, West Brom will fade but they are 8 points ahead of us. Whatever way you look at it 3 wins in the league this season is not good viewing, don't care what any other team are doing we have to concentrate on ourselves and our own results, rather than hope Everton,Arsenal & Spurs mess up. Spurs have been very unlucky with injuries, they will 100% come strong IMO.

                              Personally i'll wait awhile and see how we progress before saying we are realistic for the champs league spots.

                                Today's win will have done wonders for the team. There was swagger about our play for 20 mins of the second half
