Next season

Many of you will think this, but we can't let the disappointment of losing the final to get to Liverpool. The club will now have to look forward to clearing out the dead wood, and getting towards a proper title challenge next season. People can't dwell on a defeat in a final, even If it is the Champions League. Give yourself hope with the knowledge that for Liverpool, the future is very bright. So I say, roll on next season.

To look forward to next season!!!!!! What will it bring??

After the absolute bitter gut-wrenching defeat to, well lets face it a poor Milan side. I can only hope that Rafa sorts out our striking problem. After a night in Athens at a match we dominated from start to finish I feel our lack of a 30 goals a season man has yet again let us down. We were shown the way by Inzaghi. Even at his twilight years a proven goal scorer no matter how old, if he has a chance or two (cos thats all he had) can hurt a team no matter how much possession they have. With the chances we had on the night we could sorry should have made it 6 European Cup wins , but for lack of that goal scorer we would have.
So heres to the future, to the potential that this team has got (lets just buy the correct players)

Well done lads, You did us all PROUD!!!!!!!

I have to agree with you drawde, but it hurts when you have dominated for most of the game !!   An out and out striker is what we need next season,  we had enough chances to finish this game but didnt, totally gutted but still looking forward, feel sorry for all the Reds that have got to travel back home in misery, i'm sure they'll keep their heads up and do us proud yet again       

get a decent striker ,stuff champions league,lets go for the league title.YNWA

We must keep mescherano in the team!!ke is superb!! do u even c kaka on the pitch??whose kaka?? strikar!!!striker!!! we need striker!!! zenden will surely be shown the door. poor2 performance... but overall the team is great!! next year we will win it again!!

I agree.  Mascherano needs tying down as a Liverpool player - absolutely imperative that that deal is done. 

What's the official line on his contract JD?

Yeah I thought we'd signed him? I can't see him wanting to leave, even though we lost, we got to the final, and outplayed the Italian cheats.
At least 2nd place next sesason I think.. if we get a GOALSCORER in!

Gotta experience the lows to really appreciate the high's, bring on next season.

Looking forward to seeing who rafa buys personally i think we are only 3 or 4 players short of challenging for the league and weve got Luis Garcia to come back he likes a goal or 2 in europe.

We missed little Garcia last night...he would have done the 'Gerrard role' on the night.

Woah 100 posts to me! So soon!!

Still a little sour over the game. I had a hard time sleeping. But alreading looking forward to next season. Not to throw a wrench in everything, but in addition to obtaining a finisher, lets also work on defending in set plays. Its killing us.

I agree there, Garcia is an infuentional player in the team, He's a little terrier and had he played last night just might of had his thumb in his mouth a few times, He is missed by the team i'm sure of that. Oh Hum, Lets see who comes and goes in the summer, Zenden was a poor choice last night, Kwell should have been on from the start when things where looking good'

We have missed Garcia in a lot of games this season, Zenden wot a waste last nite, there will be a lot of players leaving in the summer and i think there it will be intresting in who rafa brings in.

For the first time since the summer of 2001/2002, i feel really excited about next season, with the money we have we no longer have the excuse of 'we couldn't compete financially'.
Predictions for next season
League: 1st
Champions league: semi finals (but i wouldn't rule out another final!)
FA Cup: quaters
League cup: Who cares?!

I have to agree with you Liverbird, It's a long time since I felt we had an awesome season awaiting us. Iv'e wanted it to happen every year but never really believed we had the squad. With what we've currently, got and the funds to strengthen again, I can't wait for next season !

I also have to agree can't wait for the next season and for the players Rafa is going to bring in

missing football all ready  :'(

to all the players leaving, I wish you well and hope your successfull wherever you end up.
to all the players arriving - realise who Liverpool are, what it means to us supporters and play your hearts out !

the future is bright for us - roll on August !!!

I cannot wait for August either, this will be a very very important season because everything is in place to win the league, Benitez knows who he want and the owner told us that he could have what he ask for, our top players are staying. There will be no excuses next season, premiership has to be priority number one.

Never been so excited 4 next season, i think we can win the league and other trophys i really believe we can do it.

One word.....Premiership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Premiership! That's our only aim next season! Wouldn't mind an FA cup and European Cup again like, but as long as the league campaign improves and pushes us further then I will be happy!

stupid question...but when does the next season start....what date August and has the fixture been done yet? gotta work out when I'm coming
