We will finish above both you and your red rivals
Only 2 points above the relegation zone I see. Looks like there's a chance you'll be back more towards your level in the lower leagues next season then.

Doubt you'll even finish above your red rivals, tbh mate.
Rodgers usually reverts to a 4-3-1-2 against teams that play a possession based style such as ourselves. This allows him to press aggressively and potentially force errors that will leave our back four vulnerable. I think starting Deulofeu would be a mistake as he does not track back defensively every time, and having someone to assist Coleman defensively would protect the team when he utilises his ability to bomb forward and play in a cross. Liverpool conceded in their 1-0 loss to Southampton via a headed goal from Dejan Lovren, and Lukaku can do the same if provided with opportunities.
Watching those videos of Deulofeu has inspired me. I'd go with:
----Mirallas---Lukaku---Deulofeu---
----------------Barkley---------------
-----------Barry---Mccarthy---------
Baines--Distin--Jagielka--Coleman
---------------Howard---------------
Think Pienaar and Osman will probably start in reality though.
Let me just say that if Osman gets a starting role I'm downing this bottle of Domestos that lives next to my bed.
He is one lucky, lucky cart.

To those who have put Naismith in the team ahead of Pienaar - Why?
Naismith has been decent this year, and Pienaar hasnt been at his best. I understand this, however what does Naismith offer that Pienaar, even on a bad day, doesnt?
The Pienaar/Baines link-up is the best partnership in the league, Pienaar takes the ball anywhere, under pressure or not, uses intelligence to win free-kicks with his body movement, and can score goals like the one against Hull which was simply sublime.
Naismith, god love him, tries his balls off and is as brave as a lion. He is disciplined and offers good protection to Coleman. But offensively, whilst a decent finisher, cant cross, rarely shows any magic and, for me, is incapable of the same link-up/movement as Pienaar.
Just quickly, this is a genuine question not just a jib at those who prefer Naismith. Just want to know why blues, WHY?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Full team Id go for:
Howard
Coleman
Jags
Distin
Baines
Barry
McCarthy
Kev
Barkley
Pienaar
Lukaku
Simply put- Pienaar/Mirallas been crap. If they play the same as in the past few games we will not win. Naismith is something different. And something different that doesn't stop running or trying. Why not.
