Liverpool Odds 2012-13
The Reds have finished sixth, seventh and eighth in the past three seasons so Brendan Rodgers will become an Anfield hero if he delivers Champions League football at his first attempt.
Best Title Odds: 33/1 (Betfred)
Value Bet: 5/1 (StanJames) - to win a major trophy.
If the draws are kind then Liverpool are always going to be contenders for the domestic cups. Last season Dalglish delivered the Carling Cup before reaching the FA Cup Final.
Summary:
Brendan Rodgers arrives off the back of great success at Swansea and the big question is how will he fare at a big club with huge expectations. The football will surely be easy on the eye with the Welshman bringing in old favourites Joe Allen and Fabio Borini for a combined £26m.
Verdict:
Reds fans are wary after what happened with Roy Hodgson, but Rodgers may just surprise a few if he’s given a chance. Fourth spot isn’t out of the question if early season big matches at Anfield go well and spark momentum. Best odds of 5/2 (Betfred) to qualify in a Champions League spot are reasonable.
