Dr Venkman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 What do you think would be better for NUFC in order to instill belief in the future of the club though? 5th place or midtable and a cup? I think your season shows more promise that you are going forward. Indeed, even if we don't qualify for CL I think the fact that we fought for it until the last day will have some effect on whether players want to stay or go.

I think your season shows more promise that you are going forward. being objective and generous to liverpool you'd honestly have to say that: we need another season of a similar level (maybe not CL challenge but certainly europe) before we can claim this also liverpool need another season of going backwards in the league before it could be argued they're 100% on the slide like just my thoughts, either could be seen as an anomaly atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It's been two seasons on the trot for Liverpool finishing outside the Top 6. I think they deserve another year but there's more to it than just a temporary blip. As I said before they are better than last year but not immensely so when you take into account their spending. As for NUFC, from the outside you do look good. Your starting XI is easily the best in the league - imho - for any club not in London or Manchester. If you don't sell any key player I see absolutely no reason for finishing outside the top 6 next season, or at least credibly challenge for it.

TheGuv Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 How Newcastle fans would rather finish 5th and nearly make a CL instead of actually winning something which we haven't done in 43 yearsis beyond me like. Anybody under the age of 50 won't remember/know what it feels like. I'd take a trophy any day. I think if I was a Liverpool fan however I would want to focus on the league. Yeah i would too. But they've won everything under the sun. Even if they were going to finish 4th and not have won a trophy it would only have been 6 years since their last one. Must be so hard being a Liverpool fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 agreed on both - i've not seen a lot of liverpool this season but when i have (and reports i've read back it up) i feel they're a good striker away from being a much better team....as Unbelievable said stick a 20 goal a season striker in there and you've got a different animal we've basically had 2 15 goal strikers for us this season otherwise we'd probably have had much similar seasons in the league short story: they're currently about fixable imho, whether they've got the right people in charge to make the right choices is another question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not going to discard the two Dembas influence in your season - far from it - but there's more to your progress than just having more goals. Your defensive record - barring calamity these last two games - is much better for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Downing and Henderson are atrocious, christ. That come back and credit where credit is due it was a good one was however the sign of a cup side. They simple don't have enough quality to maintain any serious consistency (good) in the league with those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 So is Dalglish going to be "let go"/"moved upstairs" at the end of the season because of his FA Cup failure or has the Carling Cup win saved him for another season? I hope the latter is the case, another season of Liverpool failing/imploding would be great to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Liverpool for all their effort in the final 20 minutes or so still looked an awful side to me. Chelsea were dead on their feet and sat so deep but Carroll's goal aside, they created very little in terms of clear chances. They really are a dour side with some awful players. Honestly, not one of their players would get in our side for my money. Thankfully they lost. I despise Chelsea but they have some players I actually like, players like Lampard and for all his fawning, Drogba and of course Ramires, a fantastic player.
