realistic expectations this season

We haven't taken advantage of what should be the easier part of the home fixtures, so its going to be a tough ask, but 4th should still be the aim.

With Chelsea in the state they are, this is the best chance for someone to get into the champions league. We haven't taken that chance yet, but its still there.

At the same time...Lovren for a while

Manfrom I would have to say that Spurs look good to make the CL.

However I feel if City get their act together they could romp this league.

United are functional and dont get the hype around Arsenal, positions 2 - 4 up for grabs methinks but I dont think we will occupy one of them

4th and a good run in europe with the later stages of the domestic cups as well.

Cfc fluckiing up has opened the way for 4th, and considering after the next game all the traditional top teams have been played away from anfield then 4th is a solid target.

2nd half of the season klopp should have his ethos firmly embedded, injuries should of cleared up and 4th should be in our hands since all the top teams come to anfield.

Its a massive chance for 4th...it really is.

After the game away to City, we have then played all the top teams away. We need to stay close to Spurs. They are our main competitor for fourth. I am happy with a cup succes.

I wouldn't discount Southampton from the race for fourth. They've been there for a couple of seasons now and fell away at the end. They could stay on this time. Spurs could take a good lead over us in the coming month with them high on confidence, that's the worry. We need players back quickly.

1 thru 3 are all set I think. Its 4th that is wide open. I would definitely have spurs as the favourites

We aren't out of it, but we need to put together a string of wins. yesterday was a major set back imo

Am I the only one seeing things the other way round?

You should pick up a majority of your points at home. we have the hardest teams to come to Anfield, so less chance of getting a good tally of points.

66-72pts

To be honest fellas, talk of where teams are going to finish in early November is far too premature. Liverpool probably have as good a chance of top four as a lot of other clubs. Lots of twists and turns yet.

If we can get fully fit Studge and Henderson back, and no more injuries (God forbid!!) 4th is possible.
