Season predictions/expectations

I know theres already a thread on season predictions but I want a Liverpool FC specific one.

So, the season edges closer now, not long before kick off, what do you feel we need to be aiming for and what do you think realistically we should be getting.

(P)rediction - What you think might happen.
(E)xpectation - What you expect on a realistic level.

If you can think of anymore general sort of categories I could add just post in this thread

Yeah, Shearer and Hansen with Lineker presenting it.

 

You got some good predictions there, but you don't seem confident about Gerrard?

Thought so

 

I feel i've been a bit harsh on Gerrard to be honest. With him not coming back until some time in September and he has then got to gain match fitness, i've been a bit reserved with my predictions for him.

Now i've written this, he'll probably score and set up loads and make me look pretty stupid.

 

You are expecting a hell of alot from Carroll you guys.

 

We're trying to use facts as some sort of a guidline. Its never that simple but its worth a shot. He scored 11 goals in around half a season last season so we're trying to go with that for now

 

You are expecting a lot from Carroll.
Well you lot are expecting a lot from Chick-pea. The second season is always hard, but its even harder when you are a one-dimensional striker like Chick-pea is.

Man United have a keeper crisis. Baconface paid £18 million for a keeper that drops more clangers than Manuel Almunia and Gomes of Spurs.
