      Just as our previous season I'm going to expect the same in the league but with a cup in either domestic competition with us reaching the quarters of the Champions League.

      With the manager we have, we can do many things next season. Few more signings and we can kick some ass. With or without Suarez, we can win the league. WE ARE LIVERPOOL FC.

      Make us proud!

      You had to go one four better than me Billy. ;D

      I'm not gonna expect us to lose mate, I expect Liverpool to win every single game. Therefore expect us to win every possible trophy.

      I expect us to be stronger mentally than last season.

      I expect us to have a deeper squad than last season.

      I expect us to use the hurt of missing out on the league to drive us on to even greater things next season.

      Be in the title race again, and at least get thru the group stages of champions league.

      FA Cup & League Cup, would like to see the youngsters get a decent run.

      If we still had Suarez I'd expect us to win.

      But I'll agree with JD and love another title run come April.

      And a trip to Wembley

      This is gonna be a tough season so it is. Arsenal have solidified 4th, city and chelsea will be hard pushed to finish out of the top 3 so there is only 1 spot left. Heres hoping the scum dont sort their sh*t out too soon.

      Obviously a lot depends on how the Suarez money is invested. In 2009 we expected to kick on after finishing 2nd, we failed to replace Alonso and strengthen the squad. Before anyone jumps in, I understand the difference in having the two cowboys and their debt gone, but the premise is still the same, we need to build, those around us will and if we don't we will get left behind.

      However if the league were to start again tomorrow, I don't think we would have the strength to compete on all four fronts and therefore we would need to prioritise. And yes, I do hope and expect us to win every game we play in, but we can't expect the same 11 to play 50-60 games at a consistent level, and the gap between Sturridge and Aspas is clear enough. I expect plenty of players to improve from last season and contribute in new ways for us, Henderson and Sterling have already been mentioned, but I think with Suarez gone that Sturridge will thrive on being the main man up top. He showed it plenty of times last season when we missed Luis, and I think he will be itching to prove he can carry the mantle.

      Sakho is a player I can't quite put my finger on, he looks to have all the potential and I really hope he can realise that this season. Hopefully some new signings will create the healthy competition to help him make the next step with us. As has been mentioned I think full back is an area that needs addressing, the return of Enrique will be huge but sufficient cover and someone to compete for a starting spot at full back is needed to compete on all fronts.

      I have said this for the past two seasons and both times I have been forced to hold my hand up and admit my mistake... But I can't see Gerrard featuring as much for us this season. I think we will manage him to get the best out of him when we need it most and that may mean playing less.Prove me wrong once again Stevie!

      I fully support and trust Rodgers. This season will be massive for him and he knows that. He will need our support and patience. European football will take a bit out of us, and if there is an odd slip up along the way, that has to be understandable. We get behind the lads, and We Go Again...

      I'm not sure I even answered the thread question... but much like last season I think I might just sit back and enjoy the ride.

      My expectations.....that unless we win every competition that we play in, someone on here will have a moan about some aspect of the team underperforming from players to owners.

      We have been here before with losing great players. I love Luis Suarez as a player, felt proud he was a Liverpool player. But all said and done he is a loss that's for sure, but saying that we only won one trophy since his arrival to Anfield!

      We got 75m for a near 28 year old who stands to miss 4 months of the season. We are in need of a bigger, stronger squad...not too mention a bigger ground capacity. All this needs money and our prize asset has been sold, good business I think so. I am confident of a good season, I am confident we will see more goals from other areas and not just relying on one man. I am also confident we will not leak as many goals this season. As you can tell, i'am confident!  :)

      I'm one of those Reds that numerous other fans laugh at, since ever I can remember I always have the feeling that this/next year will be our year. Romantic notions aside, the head tells me we should be at least aiming for a top four finish, the heart tells me we should go one better in the league next year. Winning the FA cup would be nice and the head says this is realistically achievable plus we should be looking to improve on our domestic cup form under Rodgers. Of course, the squad and team need improvement so it's a bit hard to stipulate what to expect or hope for just yet. As for the CL, I would like us to take this by storm (another perhaps romantic notion), I think Rodgers may have to be a little bit more tactically savvy in this comp, compared to domestic games. It will be interesting to see how he and his team fair against Europe's heavy weights.

      Good thread.

      If anything, we need to win the league this year to make all the 'haww slippy G, haww haww no Suarez + CL games = back to 7th next year rofl' idiots on facebook look like right mugs. I'm pretty confident we'll manage top 3 at least and go further in the CL than most people think.

      Mig
      Johnson Lovren sakho Moreno
      Gerrard Henderson
      Sterling Lallana Coutinho
      Sturridge

      Reina, Skrtel, Flanagan, Can, Remy, markovic , lambert on the bench

      With Agger, Enrique, Allen, Ibe and Suso pushing for places

      Good options all over and a squad with very few weaknesses.

      Who knows, if we can get good money for Lucas, Coates and Assaidi we may stretch to Benatia instead of Lovren or a sensational bid for Isco or Griezman. After all the squad above is based on a 20 million net spend which is peanuts. I do fancy us for top 4 and a cup

      Losing Suarez, an ageing Gerrard I'm worried...... Both at their peak are irreplaceable but the replacements we have in so far don't excite me! We have lost our "goal out of nothing" fear that other clubs have when you have Suarez in the team!

      So we really need someone to step up or one of BR signings to be a class act and not take time to settle in.

      Minimum for me would be top 4
      Cup final

      Champions league could be a bit of a stretch to even qualify from the group seeing as we are in pot 3

      Still feel that while we have strengthened in quite a few areas we haven't quite made up for the loss of Suarez yet. I would like to see one top quality signing (presuming we sign Lovren, Remy etc etc) that lifts us to the next level and gives us a real chance of the title.

      At the moment I see us being in the hunt but slightly behind the other front runners. Not sure we have enough creativity in the side to get the goals we got last season but I think we do look potentially a much more balanced side.

      A lot will depend on the development of Sterling and Coutinho and how Sturridge copes with being our main man up front.
