6th Sense.....

So....my beloved team, Liverpool finished the league at 6th position with 58 points.

That's 22 points adrift from the Red Idiots!!. Liverpool need to win 7 matches and a draw to get the same points as the Mancs!!

That's how bad Liverpool was this season. Initially, I thought Liverpool would be fighting relegation by thanks to King Kenny, to finish 6th after an abysmal start is an achievement.

Now that the Red Idiots has kicked Liverpool off its perch, Liverpool needs to buck up and start targeting for a Champions League placing next season. The team now needs 2-3 new faces. Ashley Young, Downing, Cahill and Shawcross comes to my mind of the potential players that could improve the squad. Clear-out the dead-woods such Poulsen and Cole. Perhaps, the team also need to have a reliable back-up striker something that the Red Idiots always have (Chicarito, Ole Gunnar)

Riena's seemed to be staying so the team now has a safe and reliable pair of hands.

Apart from Carra-hoof and Soto, the defends looks pretty convincing. The two young fullbacks have a lot of promise and if the King continue to develop 'em, we could witness something special.

Lucas has been a revelation in my opinion. Certainly he has improved and the way he controls the play is sometime a joy to watch. Perhaps, he needs to have someone equally good or better to partner him in the middle of the field to dictate the play next season. Gerard to me fits the bill and he hasn't been himself all season for me. The midfield area perhaps need to have a creative wide-men like Downing or Ashley Young to vary the play a wee bit.

On the attacking front, on paper, it looks like the team has a good pair of strikers but it hasn't been working effectively apart from the Man Citeh game. Obviously, it'll take time and next season could be interesting to watch how Andy and Suarez play together. Silently, I would prefer, Kuyt and Suarez upfront as both has bundle of energy and can run until the end of the match....

Every team I think would need a good bench and with the players that the team has now, the bench looks promising, but not as good as Man Utd or Chelski.

Anyways, it has been an interesting season. Roy Hodgson as a manager was a very bad decision and not to mention the owners were shite...

Can't wait for the next season to start though...

Bring it on...
