Be better against the promoted sides. Those are three points that Liverpool really could have used. Two of the three promoted sides and Chelsea were the only sides that Liverpool were worse against compared to last season; Hull and Palace proved difficult opposition, although, yes, Liverpool should have taken all six points against Palace rather than just four. Next season's promoted sides will be Leicester, Burnley, and either QPR or Derby.
The "+6" next to Manchester United remains hilarious.

Much better against the top sides – except, of course, Chelsea (sigh) – but there's still improvement to be made about the mid- to lower-table sides, especially away from home. For the first time since 2001-02, Liverpool took all 18 points on offer against the three relegated sides. Yeah, it's been 12 seasons since that last happened.
And, for added emphasis, comparing Liverpool's results in over the course of the season:

Wow. Look at that home form. It's outschtanding.
If we get Lallana, we're doing the double over that detestable little hoodlum at Chelsea. Luis and Sturridge will be dreaming of all the stunning ways he will be fashioning assists.
