Everton will be in the Europa league (if not the CL!) and again that will add strain to their squad. Kinda agree that 4th is about par for us but I don't think achieving it every year like Wenger has is as easy as some people on here seem to think.
Yes but regardless of whether Liverpool challenge next season, they are challenging now and with a squad that is thin. Rodgers has achieved what Wenger has been unable to do so over the past 9 years. The sad thing is we have actually had some very good teams over the past 9 years.

I don't think 4th place finish is easy but I do think we could and should have achieved more if you factor in some of our collapses.

I also believe Wenger isn't using all of his available resources.
