      Predictions for the 2015-2016 season
      Jun 10, 2015 10:23:03 am
      Made this topic for a bit of fun really. It'll be interesting to see what our predictions are now and then compare them to what they will be at the end of July/start of August with only a week or two until the season begins. We don't know the fixture list yet. We haven't made all of our signings yet. Our rivals haven't made theirs yet either...

      So what are your predictions for the 2015-2016 season now? Will we get off to a flying start? Will Brendan be sacked by Christmas? Will we win anything? Where will we finish? Player of the season? Worst player?  Anything else?

      Liverpool

      It appears all gloom and doom amongst many of our supporters right now but I'm optimistic personally. I think our manager and the squad of players we have are far better than what they showed last season. There are several reasons in my opinion why we struggled last season that I won't bore you with now, but I expect us to do much better next season. The only concern I have is how we will juggle Europa League on Thursday and then PL games on a Sunday.

      I'm very happy with the Milner signing and I'm pleased with the Ings signing.  I don't know why people are criticising these deals because if you could bring them in on a free, would you? Yes. It's a no brainer to me. Ings strengthens the squad and Milner strengthens our first 11. Providing that we do strengthen further, then both of these signings are good ones.

      I think we will make a couple of big signings and challenge for the title but right now we are a couple of players short. We are capable of finishing 3rd right now though so I'lll say we will finish 3rd place in the league. I think Brendan will prioritise the League Cup as he needs silverware and that seems to be the easiest of the lot to win. I also expect us to get through the group stages of the Europa League with a reserve team and then take the competition serious and go on and win it. I think Coutinho will be our player of the season. I think Mignolet will be our worst and cost us a few games.

      So -  3rd place, League Cup, Europa League.   That's what I'm going for.


      Arsenal

      Always finish in the top 4 but never up for a title challenge. They need a forward as much as we do. 4th Place.

      Villa

      Will do better than last season but not by much. 13th place.

      Bournemouth 

      Will shock a few next season because they play some good stuff. Will be in a relegation battle but I expect them to stay up with a game or two to go. 17th place.

      Chelsea

      Will be there or thereabouts but the league will be a lot closer next season.  2nd place.

      Crystal Palace

      Mid table. 11th place.

      Everton

      Will do far better going back to one game a week. 6th place.

      Leicester

      Will be another struggle but I'm tipping them to stay up. 16th Place.

      Man City

      If Aguero stays fit all season they'll win the league. 1st place.

      Man U

      5th. Sh*te.

      Newcastle

      Going down. Even with a new manager their knobhead owner won't back them. Its only a matter of time until they go down. 18th.

      Norwich

      Got a funny feeling they'll be the shock of the season. 15th

      Southampton

      Won't be as strong next season. 10th.

      Spurs

      Will struggle next season too. 7th.

      Stoke

      Can finish anywhere between 8th and 12th. I think this will be a bad season for them. 12th

      Swansea

      Under rated team of the league. 8th

      Sunderland

      sh*te. going down. 19th.

      Watford

      sh*te. going down. 20th

      WBA

      Pulis will keep them safe. 14th

      West Ham

      Bilic will do a  job. 9th


      1. City
      2. Chelsea
      3. Liverpool
      4. Arsenal
      5. Mancs
      6. Everton

      Realistically we will be finishing 6th in the league. Top 4 will make some big signings.

      1 Chelsea
      2 city
      3 Arsenal
      4 Man UTD
      5 Spurs
      6 Liverpool

      There is no way we'll get top 4 this year unless JWH spends big and BR spends wisely.

      I'll eat my hat if either hold up to their end.

      Finishing top 4 depends entirely on us signing a top striker.

      If Ings is the only striker we bring in we haven't a snowballs chance in hell of finishing top 4.

      We won't get top 4 because our defence will still be a shambles. At the moment I think we will get 5th and to the last 16 of the Europa League.

      Too early for a prediction with the transfer window not yet shut.

      The minimum I would expect with the players being bought in along with the current crop is that they are played in their correct position.
      Too much round pegs in square holes last season.
      So a proper plan strategy of how we are going to move forward would be a good start!

      With the amount going on at the club right now I couldn't give any predtctions for the season ahead.

      Let's wait to see who's going to be hired over the next week or so before thinking too far ahead.

      My predictions:

      Increased arguing on the internet between fans. (record levels)
      No one being happy whoever we sign.
      The word mediocrity being churned out like it's this first time anyone used the word.
      Grudge fests between super hard internet warriors.
      Bitterness escalation.
      Fans being happy if we fail, just to be guy that says 'see, I told you this would happen'
      Love letters and poetic comments wrote on forums about Klopp from grown men.
      Carra being the missing link and key to the universe from at least 50% of fans.
      When we lose a game, someone will comment we should of kept Gerrard, he'd be perfect for this game.
      Fashion watch Brendan news, Everyone turns into Gok Wan all of a sudden. But act even even more camp.

      Does he wear glasses?
      Does he regularly have his teeth whitened?

      Exactly, Makes me laugh all the panic about transfers, window is open till 1st of July eh?

      All early stuff is guys out of contract, or in last 6 months etc.

      So any big money moves will happen in a few weeks or after that.

      We have more chance of winning Europa league than finishing top 4 unless we seriously bolster the first 11 this window.

      At the moment 6th or 7th, if we can replace Brendan with Klopp plus make some decent signings then maybe we can squeeze into 4th spot but at the current moment I have very little optimism for the coming season.
