If you look at all competitions over the last year, Liverpool beat Man City, Man U and Arsenal. Of course they *can* finish in the top 4 next year. The reason why their EPL season was so poor was because Carroll was a dead weight up front and they kept losing to teams in the lower half of the table. Carroll seems to be finding a bit of form and a new manager should be able to improve their efforts against the lesser teams. One more quality forward in the transfer window and Lucas coming back and the team will be looking pretty solid. lucy x
If the FA banned 'Stoppage Time' and included all the shenanigans that went on within the 90 mins, then Man Utd would be plaing in the Championship in 2013!
If it wasn't for Fergie (stoppage) time Man Utd would have only won half of the trophies that they have!!
Maybe Kenny had took the reds as far as he could and the new mamager is just what Liverpool needed after all. Still, if it goes "titsup" early on in the season it won't be long before the "Dalglish, Dalglish" Kop chants start ! He will be under a lot pressure (much more than Fergie).
