No. They have a spot ready for the winners
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

Is that the same crystal ball that you all used last time round to tell us we'd be lucky to finish top 6? At the end of the day everything you have put down are ifs, buts, and maybes, basically an exercise in confirmation bias.
You have enough problems of your own to contend with: 1 goal away from home vs the rest of the top six, your 2 best players are 35 year olds one of which is likely never to play for you again, a keeper that will leave for Real Madrid most likely.
Yeah, semifinals at least
Considering they've often been a "big game team" since Klopp arrived, it wouldn't surprise me if they end up knocking out Real Madrid or something in the Champions League before losing 3-0 to Burnley at home on the Saturday.
May I be one of the first to tip my hat off to a magnificent Liverpool. The bastions of fair play, morality, hitting the woodwork and net spend, playing a brand of football that the titans of football can only dream of. A front line that contains a player with the whitest teeth in world football - Cristiano who? A defence with the evergreen James Milner and the colossus Joel Matip, who was way too good for the Africa Cup of Nations. Everything was against them this season. Injuries, that offside Valencia goal, the wind, the population of Plymouth, refs, linesmen, the FA and of course fixture congestion. With a humongous 15 games from February to May, the odds were stacked against them. Having all this rest between games and so many days off is actually a disadvantage. "Fourth position" actually sounds like "first position" if you have a lisp. Just imagine how many more Southampton players they can attract with fourth in the bag.
Today I am convinced more than ever that next year will be their year with one of the best and charismatic managers in world football, Jurgen Klopp at the helm. I look forward to all the jumping, screaming, maniacal laughing, muscle tensing and flying glasses on the touchline. The ear drums of the assistant refs won't know what hit them.
Well deserved.

Can see Liverpool doing well in the Champions League, but Klopp is now more than halfway through the length of Wenger's trophy dry spell.
You ok hun?
PM me x
Look at the state of the Liverpool posters in here, just imagine how insufferable they would be if they actually won something.
Most of the things I said are based purely on common sense. You don't have the squad or players at the moment to compete on all fronts, so you will need to pretty much pick two competitions to go all out in. That would be CL and the league I'd imagine.
You wont win the CL even if you do have a great run in it, and if you do go all out for it, it will hinder your top 4 attempts.
Circle.
As for our problems, I'm thinking most of you LFC fans wouldn't mind having the same problems...
They have won the fourth place trophy tbf.
In fairness there were a lot of people that tipped them to win the league after a couple of months, and many of them are the ones legitimately pointing out how much of a fall back from that position this is, and how weak the subsequent celebrations are. It's nice to paint vast swathes of people with the most extreme opposing opinion but the reality is quite different.
Bravo, sir.
Good season for Liverpool, this is the minimum Klopp needed to achieve and they've got there. Now they need to repeat it.
Are Southampton and Crystal Palace in the Champions League next season? Oh God, please tell me they're not. 
The book followed by film is coming soon.
Ban-worthily insufferable.
Need four or five signings for their starting XI and they could be a big problem next season.
A creative midfielder, a left back, a forward, a centre back and possibly a goalkeeper.

Titled "The Journey - From 6th To One Point Off 4th To 6th"
Well you didn't specify who's book.
Feck me, If you strain any harder you'll shit your teeth out.
Next season will be more difficult for them, you cant have 2 games a week running around the way they do.
Squad building is the answer, I guess
This is a thread related to Liverpool so obviously you lot. Remember being LiverpoolTitled "The Journey - From 6th To One Point Off 4th To 6th"
Well you didn't specify who's book.
Dortmund seemed to manage okay TBF.
There will be a lot of toasts to Martin Atkinson in Liverpool this evening.
What happened?
Should have sent Lovren off and given Boro a penalty.
Erm...yeah. Ok...
Tell me about it. Thing is, I'd guess most of us on here are quite happy with them having so many games again as it will hinder them on all fronts. As I say, Klopp has to decide early to be brave and throw the towel in on the domestic cups (at least the league cup), or go all out for a domestic cup and give up a little on the league. Sounds a bit black and white or over the top, but if they don't choose early and stick with their decision, they will just be average on all fronts. Just no point in that for them.
Lets see who they sign and then it may become more obvious as to what they can realistically go for.
What will Klopp decide to do?
Even your guys Carragher and Souness said so.
United fell well short of expectations this season. I don't think even the most optimistic fan can argue otherwise.
Liverpool just about met expectations. With all the hype around Klopp and Liverpool's early season form, 4th should be expected.
With that said, even in our most dire of seasons, we will walk away with a league cup and hopefully Europa league + CL football. Not too shabby, at the end of the day. If we lose the Europa league, it will have been a dreadful season and LFC supporters can rightfully laugh at us.

there's no need for sectarianism on this forum mate
Well done Klopp. Target met.
Liverpool fans though.
This'll set them up for one helluva fall. The expectancy should NOT be high at that club next season.

By no mean a magnificent end, but we (or at least I) didn't expect that to be the case. At the start of the season we were the shittest squad (our fault for years of poor large purchasing or quiet transfer windows). With the state the other squads were in we should be ones finishing one place above Everton.
In our last 6 games - aka the bottle job phase - we got 13 points out of 18. Kept a clean sheet in 5 of those 6 games and saw off a late flawless surge from Arsenal which in all honesty I was not expecting. The relief is palpable. We have just about scraped a chance to improve our squad with the lure of CL football.
