  This paper presents a personal point of view on the prospects open for top
quark physics analyses at the LHC with 10 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at 7 TeV.
We discuss the main directions for improvement for the analyses presented at
TOP2011 when moving to a regime where systematic uncertainties are the limiting
factors, and suggest some new studies that become possible for the first time
thanks to the larger statistics.
