The top 4

[Whitechapel]

Last years run was ridiculous. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. City
4. Liverpool
5. Man Utd
6. Southampton

It's actually in 2 seasons, 3 years was a bit misleading. Still impressive mind.

including this season?

 

[smat]

Harder this season with no Suarez + Europa League but they look like building a real head of steam atm. Uh oh.

 

[Whitechapel]

I'm going make an educated guess and say that it would be 12/13 +13/14 and this season from Jan so far?

12/13 was Rodgers first season wasnt it?

Yes.

Didn't know where to post this, also not sure if it's entirely true:

"Liverpool have only lost 4 league games in 3 years after January the 1st under Rodgers. "

That stat is accurate (3 defeats in 12/13 and just the one last season which was Chelsea at home) although quite misleading as you said as it considers just 6 games of the current season. However, it is worth noting that Liverpool's domestic form in 2015 is great: 4 wins and 2 draws. It has to be up there with the best in the league! I'll draw it up after tonight's games.

can't wait thanks

Points dropped tonight. Really don't know how we weren't able to win. Adrian saved his team at the expense of a red card at the end of the day. Hopefully a few more will be back for Liverpool and Bertrand's return will improve us.

Only really Schneiderlin and Alderweireld who won't help out much in attack.

We're scared to shoot and try to pass it in. We needed to get another striker in January but didn't and that is what will cost us.

Schneiderlin offers a bit more class and creativity in midfield. Whilst Pelle has gone completely out of sorts, but still plays 90 minutes per match due to not having anyone else, but Gallagher returned to the U-21's last week and he's the next best fit striker we have.

Now would've been a perfect time for Rodriguez to return.

Chelsea
ManCity (once Yaya is back, they'll be OK, but they'll lose this weekend)
Arsenal
Soton

Chelsea will end up winning by a country mile. It'll be a tight finish for second, with ManCity just making it against a very strong Arsenal challenge. Southampton will win the fight with ManUtd, Spurs & Liverpool for fourth, just through their better defensive shape and solidity.

Can I use your crystal ball for a bit? You say it like its set in stone. There's still a ways to go in the season and I'm seeing City giving Chelsea's a strong push in the final stretch. the 3rd and 4th spot won't be so easily decided as well...

Lol, just my opinion! It'll probably be wrong, normally it is.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Nice to have quietly crept into 3rd, can't see us troubling City but pretty confident of staying there.

Aye you guys are done now for the season, third will be where you'll finish. That leaves Tottenham, Liverpool and So'ton vying for the final place - gonna be tight!

 

[HarvSFC]

Sure is!

5th doesn't get CL though?

Who said anything about 5th...

I'd be impressed if Tottenham finished ahead of Spurs if I'm honest.

Oops, I've been doing that a lot recently, I meant as you all know, Spurs, Liverpool and Southampton chasing fourth in the remaining games.

Agree. On current form no way united will make top 4.

United?

 

[SALTIRE]

United?

What about them.

 

[Leewilson]

Really impressed with Rodgers this season. Very tough for him after last season where they got so close along with losing their star player and having another top striker injured for the most part. He's learned and he's adapted accordingly. Good to see Ibe being given a chance as well whilst the likes of Markovic and Can etc are slowly but surely growing and improving in this league.

I really hope they get top 4 and if they keep their level up they will, as Spurs don't have enough in depth, United are shaky and Southampton are just tailing off a tad.

Still, for the manager's sake, I hope they win either the Europa or FA Cup. That will be a big step in the right direction for this squad.

He has done well to turn things around. Some "fans" were calling for him to be sacked earlier in the season. His transfer business has been absolutely shocking though and warrants major criticism. Moreno and Can have been good, but the rest have failed to live up to anywhere near their price tag. If he improved his business in the window then Liverpool could possibly be challenging for the title.

Markovic is one who in time I could see being a very good player in this league. You can see the potential amongst the rawness. With playing time and attention paid to his development which he'll get under Rodgers, all the tools are there for him to succeed if he wants it.

Lallana was a bad buy considering the fee mind. Balotelli I can kind of understand. Again, I think Rodgers will learn from that. In his mind, I think he wanted a marquee signing to replace Suarez and he probably thought he could curb Balotelli considering he got a lot from Suarez despite his issues. Lambert as a short term signing was a nice idea on paper that just hasn't translated to the pitch.

But yes, in principle I agree. If he can learn from his mistakes and become more consistent in the market, Liverpool will get another title opportunity in the next few years I reckon.
