Liverpool is probably a couple seasons away from the Top 4, and they'll have a tougher time in a tougher league.


Can't agree with this, all homerism aside. With all of the new managers, this season should be a good setting to get there. We finished 3rd (I think) in the table since January. Decent signings for the back line, and I think we'll easily compete for the 4th spot, and have a good chance at getting it. We're scoring in bucket loads, just gave up too many easy ones in the fall. If that can be corrected (and based on the second half of the season, its well on its way there) I don't think we have any issue getting to 4th.

Bale will be gone, Arsenal won't go on that ridiculous run of games to end the season again. I'm not saying its definite, but we should certainly be capable of achieving 4th. The table is set.

Tottenham without Bale has nearly the same problems to mask as Liverpool does, and would also be masking them without Champions League football. Level playing field.

Fair enough. I just see that Liverpool squad having a Spurs-like year before getting in. They're getting there, though. Rebuild with youth, and there's enough to cover any busts you might have.

What happens with Suarez and the money from a sale will be key. Where will Liverpool invest?

I agree... I think with some clever moves this summer, we can challenge for top 4. Now I believe we are still a couple seasons away from challenging for the league. We have to avoid a bad start like last season... I'm a little concerned with Suarez's ban/possible transfer and Sturridge's injury, that we could fall into that same situation
