Liverpool 2013-14

Yeah, well played City. They played some great stuff and held their nerve when it really counted. A fucking great season for us though. I feel more optimistic now than I have done in a long while. Getting second when the target was CL qualification is a great achievement.

Couple more drinks now, I think.

YNWA.

Some great performances by Mignolet this season, but needs more help from his defence. See above.

I think BR is here for a while. Right. Who's going to start the new thread?
 
Some good stats in this season. One that caught my eye was that no team has jumped from 7th to 3rd in a season before, let alone to 2nd.

Pleased with the improvement under Rodgers over the last few years. Did 'dare to dream' this season but would have settled with 4th place at the start of the year. Next year it will be interesting to see how Rodgers and the squad cope with CL and the need to ensure (at least) another top 4 finish.

Going to be money spent at City and Chelsea for sure. Big changes at Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs too, although likely not the same budget. Everton and Southampton both have good managers in place so should be solid in the top half/eight places.

lies, damned lies, and ... :p
 
I so hoped Liverpool were going to do it in this year especially. It seemed as if it were meant to be. :(
Take nothing away from City....they and their 'charming' man(ager) deserved it
 
Feel a bit deflated this morning. Not so much because we didn't win, just that it's all over. Although it didn't do my blood pressure any good at all, I enjoyed this season so much. Trying to look forward to the World Cup now - if it's half as exciting as this season's been I'll be happy.
 
Hope we can announce some early summer signings - Lallna would be good for midfield - an experienced premiership defender who will shout and organise (pity Carragher wasn't a two or three years younger - probably would have won the title if he'd been there)

I think Suarez will be off - so two quality strikers needed - one that will compliment Sturridge as he'll now be the main man.

And rumours of a move for Vorm - think Mingy has had it a bit easy this season being unchallenged.

Other than that it'll be interesting to see which if any of our loan players come back, Assisadi has been playing well by all accounts for Stoke, Borini worked his arse off for Sunderland, Wisdom is currently helping Derby to the play off final, Suso and Illori in Spain have had good seasons.

I hope Ibe comes back and can make an impact a la Sterling. And maybe Rossiter will make the breakthrough this season.

All in all we were not quite ready for the title this year - not sure we'll be ready next either, I think we just need to be consistent and aim for top four again and a good showing in Europe and maybe a decent cup run.

I read Real Madrid rumours of a £70m bid for him and no doubt there will be interest but I am not sure if he will go. He stayed through a real low point in his career last season despite offers and seems to have really settled at LFC now. If he went off to a 'money club' then he won't get the playing time he will at LFC, nor will he be part of the CL campaign he was instrument in securing.

That said if LFC got an offer of £70m for him and picked up Lallana for £25m they would still have £45m to play about with :hmm:
 
Suarez tweet..

"Hello everyone. First of all I wanted to thank all the fans for supporting me this year, especially the RED FANS. We did everything we could until the last game but the important thing this year was that Liverpool came back in the Champions League!!! Me and my family want to thank you for living unique moments this year. The work done by my teammates and the entire staff of Liverpool has been incredible and I hope everyone enjoyed this year... Thanks again. YNWA!!!!!!!!"

I dunno but I think he stayed on because he didn't have a choice - we were never gonna sell him cheap, tied him up to a new contract and a huge pay bump with a clause if an offer comes in of£70+m he can consider it. Madrid or even Barca will make an 75 million offer and we'll take it

Suarez gets the Barclays Player of the Season then :) Brenda got the League Managers' Association manager of the year, but was cruelly robbed of the Premier League Manager of the Year by Tony 'flash in the pan' Pulis :mad:
 
Adam Lallana would be a great addition and is needed as a long term replacement for Steven Gerrard and he would be a great fit for the club. Less about places, more about competing in Europe. Gerrard has only 2 max 3 seasons left at that level and quality like his is going to be hard to replace.
Ashly Cole, while still a great player is too old and Its the central defense that needs competition.

i don't see Suarez leaving, if he goes somewhere like Real, they won't have built the entire squad around him, might not even get a game sometimes. Plus he lost it toward the end of the season, looked like he was trying too hard. There are times against Chelsea that he had sight of goal and missed when five months ago would have smashed it into the top corner using the back of his head.

I think he'll go if Madrid offer enough money. Tough decision for him though.
