The reason Liverpool didn't win the league

blue, do you think lukaku will be in the team next year,and will you keep torres.

I think people are overstating 'it's the defence'

we won plenty of matches 3-2. 4-3, 5-3 and even 6-3

Did a 1-0 loss to Southampton and 1-1 draw with west brom cost us because we didn't have enough firepower?

our defence didn't cost us a title, we conceded mountains of goals in high scoring wins as much as anything IMO

You can't argue with the statistics - we conceded too many and it was a factor.

Seventh to second, though, is still some achievement and we were 33-1 for the title at the start of the season.

Securing Champions League football?

That was our target! Successful season in my book whatever anyone says.

Kaiser, nail on head.

"You can't argue with the statistics "

I just did

we didn't conced too many

we conceded a lot and just scored more - our defence was rarely a factor in results if you look through the results

^it was certainly a contributory factor and we did concede some bad goals at times. We all know the defence needs strengthening but it wasn't the only reason the title slipped away from us this season.

If I could go back in time to try and change the outcome of this season with £20 million to sign one player.....it would never in a million years be a defender

because what we really needed more than anything was someone much better than Moses to come on and get us a winning goal.

Absolutely Kaiser

I'd buy Stevie a set of longer studs.....

We needed to defend better as a unit - as a team.

That's where the balance wasn't quite right in the matches we needed to stay tight - we couldn't do it.
