Assuming the Wirtz and Kerkez deals go through, and we complete the rest of the business we require (signing a striker and a backup centreback, and possibly a DM to rotate with Grav) what are your realistic expectations for next season?
With this club world cup, I really think we've got an amazing chance on multiple fronts. City and Chelsea will be tired which could give us an edge in the league, and Madrid and PSG could be tired which could help with the Champions League.
Klopp's team a couple years ago proved the quad was possible, what are the chances Slot's team could give it a similar go this season?
To be clear, I am not saying that I think we'll win the quad, or that it's even likely - I just mean to say that with the moves we're making in the transfer market, and the impact the CWC could have on our major rivals in terms of going the distance in each competition, I really feel we could give it a right go!

No21 and no7. Thank you.

Think we will win the league again if the new players all hit the ground running.
Our weaknesses last season in the first team where at left back and striker and we look to be strengthening very well in these areas.
You could say as well we struggled at times with teams that park the bus and Wirtz looks to be the perfect remedy for that.
Squad depth was probably an issue as well with Slot not utilising players he didn’t fancy so let’s see if that problem is fixed by the end of the window, I think that’s the main thing with regards to winning more than just the league, our first 11 is going to be outstanding but they can’t go all the way in every competition, rotation is needed, so let’s see if Slot gets more than 11 players he’s comfortable giving minutes to.

My expectations never go beyond the club challenging as deep into each competion as possible. No-one is going to win all the time and I wouldn't even want Liverpool to do that. Be as competitive as we can and see where it takes us.

I don't think it unreasonable for fans to expect the club to compete for all trophies it is involved with, with the intention of winning as many as possible. I imagine the club have similar expectations. The reality, as always, is fairly unpredictable but it should be a fun season.

Easy quadruple!
Quintuple if you count the World Cup next summer when Netherlands (i. e. Liverpool) win it!

Retaining the league is the piority, everything else is a bonus.
Theres only 1 team in the country on our level so if trophies were won on paper we would probably win the treble next year. But this year we lost to Forest, Newcastle, Spurs, Brighton, Chelsea and Fulham. Palace beat City too, anything can happen in 90 minutes.
Focus on winning that dinner plate against palace first and then on to the league.

I think it depends on the rest of the transfer business we do tbh.
I think it's between us and City for the league regardless, as I expect them to be back to their regular level of consistency and probably hit about 90 points, but they'll probably start slow after the CWC, and if we could get our noses ahead in the first few months I'd tip us to bring it home.
Similarly in the CL, I think City, Madrid, PSG, Bayern, etc will definitely have a hangover from CWC, and so I'd expect it to be Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal at the top end of the league stage again. But by the time the knockout stage rolls around, any CWC hangover will be long gone, and it's fair game then. I think it's probably between Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona and Liverpool for me, but it's anyone's guess as to which of those wins it.
I feel like we'll have a similar situation to last year in the cups, where we get knocked out of one early but have a decent run in the other, to the semi or the final, and completely depends on whether the team turns up on the day as to whether we win it. Would love a Mamardashvili masterclass in the final to win us a cup haha.
But if we did manage to pull off a big stiker signing like Isak (and provided he stays fit, which is two massive IFs) then I honestly think we're favourites for both the league and the CL.

If we replace Kelleher with Pesci, Tsimikas with Kerkez, Trent with Frimpong and Elliott with Wirtz that alone puts us in the conversation for a League and Champions League double. Anything else is a bonus.
I would like a striker but I'm more than happy with Diaz as the CF going into next season. I would like a CB but Gomez and Quansah are not the worst back-ups in the world either. I'm also more than happy to have Endo as Gravenberch's back up next season which I never thought I'd say. Grav got tired as the season wore on but that's more because he hadn't played anywhere near that many games for about 2 years in my opinion. Plus he's only 22 and miles off his physical peak performance levels. Endo is sufficient as cover for the domestic cups or a last 20 minute substitution. I don't like rotation in the GK, CB or DM positions as it affects the stability of the side. A professional athlete should be able to play 60 games in 40 weeks anyway.

We'll win the league again, anything else on top of that is a bonus. I do believe we'll do the league again though, I think it's our time to dominate for a few years at least.
10 Jun 2025 16:13:45
Would be happy if we could retain the league, that would be massive! If we could win any of the the other cups as well that would be amazing (especially if it's the champions league)
Assuming we get the players we want there's still a lot based on chance and luck (new players gel properly, luck with injuries etc) but if we can keep our team healthy and playing how Slot wants them to then we could be really strong on all fronts next season!

FPF at first I thought No21 and No7 were football positions ??.
10 Jun 2025 17:04:53
FlyPelicanFly that's the hope, right?
10 Jun 2025 17:21:38
Nice thought Salah. Certainly like some more premier League trophies.
10 Jun 2025 17:54:45
I genuinely expect to win every game. Always have, always will.
10 Jun 2025 18:39:54
#21 would be incredible (not saying that’s my expectation) and anything else a bonus.
After being a fan during the souness management years just to be competing again is amazing enough.

We Will Win.
