So we are losing another 12 goals from the side. Okay some penalties...but i dont fancy ANY of our current players to step up to Gerrards consistency.
At the moment as things stand i cannot see us finishing higher than 5th/6th next year. Those places will be a struggle in itself.
Id challenge anyone to convince me that we are not going backwards rapidly as a club.
Gerrard our top scorer with 12

we didn't let Gerrard go, we offered him a contract and he turned it down

It will depend on who we sign, a striker who scores goals would be a huge help.

I think the top four of Chelsea, Arsenal, City and United is pretty much set in stone for years to come now, I can not see Pool or Spurs closing the gap any time soon.
Surprised they are letting Slipper go, he could still do a job in that squad.

Do you have sympathy with Sterling's position?

I'd agree with this, unless we were to avoid Europa, manage to keep our best players and maybe add one or 2 semi decent players. I think we could do fairly well in the league in those circumstances and certainly come closer to challenging for top 4.

I love how a lot of the Liverpool fans on here have panned Gerrards worth to the team...

Don't worry lads, we're getting Ings on a freebie - indisputable proof of the club's ambition.

Nothing is set in stone in football.

I bow to Souness' expert opinions on all matters football, but on this one, he is wrong. Yesterday, our skipper put in a shift and a half, running, challenging, tackling, legs flying in, just like the skipper of yesteryear. Best performance for quite a while. But, still too slow now. Yes. We will miss him, Jordan H, by his performance yesterday has a long way to catch up, but if we are to break into the top four we need a younger, speedier gem than we have in our skipper.
