Do you want Europa League next season.....

[old skool tom]

If we don't get Champions League by winning the Europa?

 

I think we'd have a fucking great chance of title #19 if we're not involved any euro footy but would accept finishing top 4 & and CL participation next season.

 

Sadly (although it's his finest quality IMO) Jurgen hates losing (even at cards apparently) so we're probably gonna still try to finish in 5th or 6th

[Arl arse]

This Football club must be involved in European competition, it's in our DNA.

Yarp. Let's put all them eggs in one basket. What could possibly go wrong. The EL is boring as fuck anyways.

[moof]

More nights like Utd and Dortmund at anfield? It's a no brainer.

[Crazy Dave]

We're going to have a large squad of players to keep happy so the extra games doesn't really matter.

 

Playing on a Sunday is shit though.

So you think that if we are not good enough to win the EL and qualify for the CL, and we are not good enough to qualify for the EL by league finish, that we are good enough to win the title?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yes.

Yes that's 100% correct.

If Vardy and co were in Europe,you think they'd be top?

If we were in Europe when we came 2nd,do you think we'd of finished second?

Klopp hasn't had a pre season or brought in one of his players yet turned us into a superb side since turn of year

[Bjornebye]

Ridiculous question. 

[Russ Atmosphere]

Kill off the league cup, it's dreadful.

[Harry Squatter]

The group format is crap as there are loads of weak teams in it and they tend to be from far flung places like Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Armenia. The main thing you look for in the group draw is whether you will be drawn against one of these teams and whether the league fixture you have immediately after is a hard game.

 

Once the knockout stages are here it is good and I've really enjoyed the games this year. Plus sometimes if you are going the away matches it's more of an adventure than being in the Champions League as you will probably go the same places year after year.

Again don't mind the league cup but they should get rid of the 2 legged semi final and play it at a neutral venue but not at Wembley as it's a midweek game at the start of January.

Yes I do want the Europa league next season if we don't win the el but I want Klopp to approach it like BR did and blood the youngsters.We have a strong squad and can put out a second team that will do well in the el, league cup and fa cup.

[jimmycase]

Ah, if only football was that certain, give up on the EL, nay, why not give up on the FA and League cups and just go bollocks out to win the title?

 

I think I see a flaw in this cunning plan!

Fuck that, Klopp does not need to approach anything like Rodgers did!! 

[derykw]

Any time LFC do not qualify for Europe it's a failure, not to mention an utter embarrassment.

 

We're not fucking Everton.

[El Dangerous]

Nah, it's the perfect prep for when we're back in the champions league. If we can't juggle the b competition with sustained league form then we don't deserve to be at the top table. Let's not be Spurs about this. We're Liverpool FC, we have a European legacy to uphold.

[RazorBack]

I have looked at the fixtures for WH, United, Arsenal and City. If we win all our games we could finish with 67. WH might get 10 points (draw with United) and finish at 66. Same for United, but I think LEI will beat them and they finish with 66 as well. Then we got Arsenal playing City and Nowrich. First nees a win to secure top 4 and Noreich to stay up. If they only win one they finish on 67. A lot of ifs but could be interesting.. But first LFC have to win though.

I did the same drawn out improbable fixture analysis at half time against Newcastle.

 

We won't win all our games so it's a nice waste of time but unrealistic. Would be made up with Europa next season, it's been good once we got far in the knockouts

But when we do, it's 4-0

[Grinch]

Stupid question.  The Europa league has provided the only entertainment of this season.   We're not good enough for the champions league or winning the pl at the moment, so looking down our nose at where we're at is utterly pointless.

[aRdja]

How grim would this season have been without Europe?!?

[The Golden Eel]

I'd be happy enough either way, both have their benefits

[Dr Nowt]

If you want to be a top club and it not all just turn to shit after one great season, then having the seasoning to play twice a week at the same level is essential. Not to mention being upto speed and experienced in competing against quality European opposition.

 

This season has provided fuel for both and will stand us in great stead for the future, there's no point hoping to go backwards now we're moving in the right direction again. That's before you get into potentially taking another drop in the standard of players you can attract by not being in Europe at all.

[JermainePennant]

Klopp won't get away with fielding weaker teams next season in the league if we don't win and would be well advised to approach the cup competitions like Rodgers did.This season we lost some points after Europa league games where he fielded strong teams, hopefully he's learnt his lesson for next season.
