....but how far can we go?
I'm playing devil's advocate here and I'm hoping for reasoned responses that can back up an argument with more than just faith.
BR is clearly trying to get us playing an attractive style of passing football and as far as I'm concerned we are definitely moving in the right direction.
But, I'm a rationalist and don't yet share GBs all-out optimism. I think BR has proved that he is a good manager. But I want him to be a great manager. I'm not yet convinced yet that he will be.
How would you convince me that he will be?
Moving in the right direction.....

problem is that without CL, we're well down in the queue for being a players first choice.
Has to be foreign IMO
As sad as it is, we have to target mid market wth potential or wait and see who doesn't get snapped up by the 10 or so 'big clubs' ahead of us right now.

I expect 7th and hope for anywhere higher than that.
As for convincing the OP that Rodgers is a great manager, there is nothing I can say to convince you of that. I am not sure he is a great manager (he might be) but its too early to say either way at this stage.
If he has the right backing, he doesn't have to be a great manager, a good one will get us back in the top 4 in time with the resources we have in the squad and the great work of the academy at the moment.

------------------------------------
Most fans don't expect 4th this season. The majority of fans are patient and are hopeful (and increasingly confident) that we can set our targets higher in the seasons ahead.
RAP, I hope the January window isn't too quiet!! We need to address the striker issue urgently. We need to keep upward momentum throughout the season so that we can attract higher calibre players.

F.Luck that sh!,t.
I would be extremely disappointed with an 8th place finish, and 6th would be the minimum I would be happy with.
Im sorry, but a team with a spine of Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Suarez, and the emerging talent of players like Shelvey, Kelly, Sterling, Wisdom, Suso, and even the improving Henderson, with a couple of additions should be doing better than 8th in this league.
