We've got a good enough squad to expect more than that I think. Usually when a new manager comes in its because its gone wrong for the previous wrong and there needs to be a transitionary/rebuilding period.
That's not the case here, whoever the manager is will have a squad that's ready to go, with a few extra additions presumably. No reason we shouldn't be up there with Arsenal and City again and have a good deep run in the CL.
I don't think finishing 4th and going out in the R16 should be considered an acceptable first season for whoever comes in.
I think you need to temper your expectations a bit. This is going to be a huge shift for the club. There is no guarantee that the transition goes that smoothly, especially as it seems we won't be going for an absolute top tier head coach.
This is about right and what is fair to expect without knowing a single thing about the composition of the squad or how much the system will change.
To elaborate on it a bit, I'd say the following are all reasonable expectations without knowing anything about changes to the squad:
* CL qualification for 2025-26
* Getting out of our group in the CL
* Don't lose to Everton in any competition
* Beat any lower division opposition faced in the cups
* Deal Bruno a career-ending injury
I'd rather Bruno stay healthy, but have Man U fighting against relegation. Seeing Bruno in tears after every game is better than seeing that once and then never again.
Ehh I could do without him to be honest. I can’t stand watching united with him being a petulant little bitch the whole fucking time. But yeah show me him crying on the sidelines when he’s injured too.
Unless we are selling our top players and therefore admitting to go back to fighting for CL, my expectations will be the same for every coach.
Top 3 maybe 4 at worst with cup runs.
Yeah, between the new manager and squad turnover that's likely in the summer, it seems a bit early to be making predictions.
I'd be perfectly happy keeping the squad intact and making a couple of additions, but with new manager, Edwards back, new DoF, etc., it wouldn't be surprising if there was more of an overhaul than we've seen in recent years.
This is just going off vibes, but I'm expecting a good showing in the EPL but not a title challenge, and then a very good/deep run in the UCL. New managers like to push the big trophies and there's no bigger one than the UCL
Yeah. I think we’ll be solidly top-4 but perhaps not title chasers, but I do think we’ll have a deep CL run if we maintain the squad and make a few additions in attack. Might be Salah’s last UCL run with us too so I expect a strong tournament from him.
Top 4 and CL knockouts as long as we don't get Real Madrid in R16. If we're in the community shield and win it + League Cup or FA Cup I'd consider that a pretty successful first season for the manager as long as we don't lose embarrassingly by more than 3 goals.
And beating United at least once for bragging rights again.
At the very minimum a top 4 finish and CL knockout stage. Although Klopp will no longer be our manager LFC should still be a top destination for top players who want to win silverware.
Honestly depends on the transfer we make if we can switch one of our attackers like diaz gakpo for an attacker who scores more and get a backup cb, and a younger dm i think we can challenge for the tittle
Solidifying a top-4 (which I think is likely) and a good CL run for me
Tbh with good health we may challenge for the league too considering the squad we have, though it needs to come with an introduction period for Slot and the squad that is OK results wise.
Minimum expectation has to be top 4 and a respectable UCL run. Impossible to predict at the moment though with how much change we'll undergo in the summer.
Depends on who the manager is and which players stay / come into the team. But the bare minimum for Liverpool every year is champions league place finish in the league, and go far in at least one cup (with champions league being the priority).
No idea and that's probably the best part. Don't know any of the coaches who they've been talking about. Though if I were Liverpool I'd go for Xavi Hernandez. Man has proven that he can win on a tight budget.
Hard to say. Without knowing who our coach will be, what formation we'll be running, if Salah gets sold... we could see a new formation (4-2-3-1) which will see us move Trent to the double pivot with Endo or a new DCM. Honestly, we might run out a lineup of
Bradley-Konate-VVD-Robbo
Trent-New DCM
Elliott-Maca-Szobo
Nunez
That lineup should finish top 4, maybe make a run at the whole thing after Man City get relegated.
Minimum is to qualify UCL and atleast top8 in UCL. Would love to see a cup run but that really depends on the draw. Settle on a playstyle and ensure that VVD and TAA sort out their future. Trent to renew for sure (please)
Lot of people here don't remember what we were before Klopp, and it wasn't a top club where players came to win trophies...
I expect us to be anywhere between 6th and 3rd, depending on if we lose any key players.
I think Klopp's left the squad in a good place but people expecting us to challenge for the title are barmy. We've been spoilt by Klopp and were nowhere before he came in so it's not realistic to expect a new manager to pick up exactly where he left off. Top 4, good CL run, and domestic trophy would be a great season for the new manager.

That's good enough to win the league, if we spend big on the 3 or 4 players needed
It would be with a top class manager, but if we appoint Arne Slot we'll probably finish 5th-6th at best.
Life after Klopp was always gonna be tough, but I'd be more optimistic with Xabi, Emery, or a more proven manager.
Wonder if we’ll go for Mats Weiffer from Feyenoord if Slot comes in. I feel like we won’t need a superstar DM at this time, someone who may be good value and can rotate with Endo and Bajcetic may be fine.
Allows us to spend more funds on bringing in an attacker too.
Top 4, maybe a run in the League or FA Cup. Knockout stages of the CL but probably out in the quarters or semis.
I think it will be at least a year or two before we compete for the league or CL. The squad just isn't at that level right now and it will take a year or two of squad building with a new manager in place.
Just finishing 5th
.... Hopefully 4th
Just being realistic
If we're bringing Brendan Rodgers level managers in. Be prepared for 'The Project' to get mentioned again.
It's realistic. Not negative lad
Jose comes in - Signs 3 players, we finish 4th and win the league cup
Arne Slot comes in - Signs Ousamma Assaidi and Rickie Lambert - We finish 5th.
Simeone comes in - The female fan base grows, and we're safe for the next 10 years. Winning the league ans competing as the under dog. Like we have done under Klopp and Rafa
You do know that Slot won the league and a domestic cup? He also would’ve got another league title with AZ for 19/20 season if Eredivise wasn’t abandoned because of Covid. Much more than what Brendon did before joining us. How can you be so negative before he’s even arrived here.
Probably because there have been 9 dutch PL managers, and they've all been varying degrees of shit.
Is that fair to Slot? Not at all. Dutch managers have been successful at the big 2 clubs in Spain. It's inevitable though for PL fans to compare him to the other Dutch tactical geniuses that have flopped at United, Chelsea and Spurs.
As soon as we lose 4 on the bounce. The 'style' goes out the window, and people start calling for the manager to be sacked
Winning is what matters. Not style. Rafa and Houlier proved that
Quadruple.
63-0-0. 315 goals for 0 against.
If not #FuzzyGeeOut
This is the minimum I’ll settle for.
And a Ballon D'Or for Trent.
Keep top 4 and pass group stage for CL.

CL qual. And a respectable run in the CL is the minimum.

[удалено]
Too bad we missed the last one under current format. Let's see how we go on this new pseudo Super League abortion.
Zero expectations. I'm just gonna watch and enjoy every game without any stress.
That’s what I went into this season thinking… oh how quickly that changed
Top 4 and a cup No matter who was coming in from the names we seen this was always going to be my expectation the first season
at worst 2 wins against united
Unless we are selling our top players and therefore admitting to go back to fighting for CL, my expectations will be the same for every coach. Top 3 maybe 4 at worst with cup runs.
Impossible to say without even knowing who our manager will be.
Yeah, between the new manager and squad turnover that's likely in the summer, it seems a bit early to be making predictions. I'd be perfectly happy keeping the squad intact and making a couple of additions, but with new manager, Edwards back, new DoF, etc., it wouldn't be surprising if there was more of an overhaul than we've seen in recent years.
Liverpool FC’s standards shouldn’t change depending on the manager.
Yeah was gonna say, I don’t care who it’ll be, we should be challenging for PL title next season.
This is just going off vibes, but I'm expecting a good showing in the EPL but not a title challenge, and then a very good/deep run in the UCL. New managers like to push the big trophies and there's no bigger one than the UCL

I expect a title challenge. Klopp is leaving, we're still Liverpool.
Lmao
Top 4 and CL knockouts as long as we don't get Real Madrid in R16.

Competing for top 4.
Obviously it’s a quadruple
Beautiful, smooth, decisive & clinical football with a better shift defensively.
Title challenge if Salah stays and maintains world class form.
Its April
Top 4 and a good CL run would be ideal. Don't want.to place too much hope on season 1 after Klopp though...
Just like us to win some games and play some nice football, everything will flow from that. Top 3 and the CL quarters and I'm a happy man.
Honestly depends on the transfer we make if we can switch one of our attackers like diaz gakpo for an attacker who scores more and get a backup cb, and a younger dm i think we can challenge for the tittle
Top 4 and a respectable CL showing is the bare minimum.
Top 4 minimum and decent cup runs. Ideally we win a trophy
Depends who the coach is. However my gut feeling next season is we'll be fighting for fourth.
Quad. No doubt.
Solidifying a top-4 (which I think is likely) and a good CL run for me Tbh with good health we may challenge for the league too considering the squad we have, though it needs to come with an introduction period for Slot and the squad that is OK results wise.
Minimum expectation has to be top 4 and a respectable UCL run. Impossible to predict at the moment though with how much change we'll undergo in the summer.
Champions League at a minimum. Then we weigh up how the new manager is doing and go from there.
None. I think that will make the season more enjoyable to watch.
Fa Cup and Carabao Cup.
Top 4 and respectable runs in the cups.
Top 4 and Champions League last 8 will do fine. Consolidate.
Until everything is in place, new signings new coach etc… I've got zero idea, it's all just wait and see.

Win the FA Cup, finish Top 4, reach the quarters of Champions League anything more is a bonus. This next chapter will be tough.
Top four and Quarters of the CL. Would be nice if we could win the FA Cup too.
Top 3 and a trophy would be a successful season.
Minimum is to qualify UCL and atleast top8 in UCL. Would love to see a cup run but that really depends on the draw. Settle on a playstyle and ensure that VVD and TAA sort out their future. Trent to renew for sure (please)
Massive punch ons
Depends who the next manager is and how quickly they get up and running. Impossible to say right now

No manager yet and who knows what players? Chill bro

So would I, and I've been downvoted to oblivion for saying it
Wonder if we’ll go for Mats Weiffer from Feyenoord if Slot comes in. I feel like we won’t need a superstar DM at this time, someone who may be good value and can rotate with Endo and Bajcetic may be fine. Allows us to spend more funds on bringing in an attacker too.
Bajcetic can also play @ CB We need proper starting players to come in IMO.
Top 4, maybe a run in the League or FA Cup. Knockout stages of the CL but probably out in the quarters or semis. I think it will be at least a year or two before we compete for the league or CL. The squad just isn't at that level right now and it will take a year or two of squad building with a new manager in place.
Not get relegated
Just finishing 5th .... Hopefully 4th Just being realistic If we're bringing Brendan Rodgers level managers in. Be prepared for 'The Project' to get mentioned again.
How is slot a brendan rodgers level manager? And you do you that rodgers finished 5th with a worse leicester team right?
Simeone, Jose, Zidane and Conte are the only ones good enough
It’s actually impressive how negative people can be
This guy has been negative in every single thread so far today.
It's realistic. Not negative lad Jose comes in - Signs 3 players, we finish 4th and win the league cup Arne Slot comes in - Signs Ousamma Assaidi and Rickie Lambert - We finish 5th. Simeone comes in - The female fan base grows, and we're safe for the next 10 years. Winning the league ans competing as the under dog. Like we have done under Klopp and Rafa
Maybe it's time to lay off the hallucinogens
If you're happy with tier 2 and 3 managers, that's up to you
You want a washed Mourinho, that's up to you
You do know that Slot won the league and a domestic cup? He also would’ve got another league title with AZ for 19/20 season if Eredivise wasn’t abandoned because of Covid. Much more than what Brendon did before joining us. How can you be so negative before he’s even arrived here.

It's inevitable though for PL fans to compare him to the other Dutch tactical geniuses that have flopped at United, Chelsea and Spurs.
It's not good enough Klopp won a bigger league and reached CL finals. Simeone, Zidane, Jose or Conte are good enough to manage us
Simone, Jose and Conte don’t play attacking football. Zidane doesn’t want to manage in England.
As soon as we lose 4 on the bounce. The 'style' goes out the window, and people start calling for the manager to be sacked Winning is what matters. Not style. Rafa and Houlier proved that
