Last night was a bit like Christmas Eve; no, not because the Netherlands were facing Australia at the World Cup today, but because there was a present waiting for us in the morning. The veritable wasteland that is the off-season is always punctuated with one exciting day and that’s when next season’s fixtures are released.
Maybe bettering Liverpool’s second place finish last season is a bit of a pipe dream for the time being, but it’s one that we’ll be justified in dreaming. With over a hundred goals scored during an immense run to the upper echelons of the table, Reds boss Brendan Rodgers not only brought Champions League football back to Merseyside, but he brought the belief that the long awaited Premier League title is within our reach.
