I reckon Liverpool can challenge next season, i mean they'd have 4th place wrapped up if it wasn't for injuries. I know everyone has to deal with them but they've had Gerrard out for 2 months or so, Alonso for 4 i think, Kirkland pretty much all the time, Cisse for ages. Kirkland might not be guaranteed first team football but the other three are probably Liverpool's most talented players.
If Benitez can bring in some more good players and some better quality back up, aswell as the team's key players steering clear of bad injury, then they'll at least close the gap.
