If alonso and masch stay, then I would expect to win the premier league, semi-finals in champions league. If one of them leaves, I doubt we will be able to achieve that. I just want this summer saga to be over already
Let's be honest, not only does next season depend on our midfield duo staying, but also on Gerrard's and Torres's fitness throughout the season, and on the consistency of our fringe players. At the end of last season we saw an incredible change in everybody's game. Let's hope it continues into next season and sets the tone for 09/10.
I expect we'll start off as well as we did in the 07/08 season, and be able to continue the form into the winter. There's even more experience and a lot more hunger now that we've tasted glory, even without the silverware. I can't imagine anything lower than 2nd place next season, and certainly we will be a force again in the Champions League. How far we go depends on how well players like Kuyt, Babel, Benayoun, and Riera play. I doubt any of them will find many games in Premier League play
