Where do you expect us to finish?

[Neil Young]

I have no idea where we will finish, but I'll be happy with 5th as it represents a tangible improvement from last year. Anything higher than that will be fantastic.

Fourth or higher: staggering

Fifth: good

Sixth: ok

Seventh: disappointing

Eighth or lower: disastrous

Agree with this

i'd be quite pleased with a competitive 5th/6th place - what i mean by that is, in a way i'd prefer to finish a close 6th over a distance 5th

ie

1st 80
2nd 79
3rd 76
4th 75
5th 74
us 73

instead of

1st 90
2nd 88
3rd 80
4th 78
us 60

no point finish 5th or 6th but being miles away - but if we can go close and come the last 3 or 4 games be in with a shout, then it would be an improvement.


i think city, chelsea and our fav spurs will a be top four - that leaves us arsenal and united going for that last place. despite all us laughing at both clubs recently, they are still strong and will stil beat teams and will be up there.


i guess a lot comes down to a bit of luck - as i've said a lot recently if we keep our 10 key players fit for the majority of league games, then we have a very good chance of making top four.

I'd be pleased with 65 points. 70 or more is incomprehensible to me at the moment.

Actually, scrub that. We ended up on 61 points last season. 70 is achievable. Any more than that will be a big ask.

2012/2013 Rodgers' first
1 Manchester United 89
2 Manchester City 78
3 Chelsea 75
4 Arsenal 73
5 Tottenham Hotspur 72
6 Everton 63
7 Liverpool 61

This is last season's points total, I reckon the league will be a bit more competitive, so if we get around 70 points I think we'll finish anywhere from 3rd. - 5th.

Can we never, ever post that again please

[Resu]

Can we never, ever post that again please

How badly has Newcastle fallen, could be fighting relegation now.

[Madridred]

Don't think so,when Remy and all the rest of the French players back in form they will start climbing the table again

[Rich]

Totally forgot that Chelsea finished sixth

[Shaggy]

Totally forgot that Chelsea finished sixth

And yet still people expected them to challenge for the title last season under RdM/Benitez.

[Lee]

Totally forgot that Chelsea finished sixth

Me too until you mentioned it.

[BG1973]

68 points and fifth. We need to score more goals, or many of these 1-0s will become 1-1s etc.

That points haul from Rafa is depressing me.

[kingfunk]

5th.

[Madridred]

5th.

I hope when Luis comes back, him and Daniel will be joint top scorers

[dizzycat]

If we keep a decent run of form until Christmas, the two games against city and the chavs could be huge in determining where we end up and for our confidence going into the run in. I also hope that most of the games between the top 6 end up in draws (not ours of course) as with 2 rather than 3 points coming out those games the overall point tally for our competitors is reduced.
