Will we finish in the top four?

[Ne Moe Imya]

A bit early to start having a wank about Arsenal losing. They may not have improved enough to see off the PL's in-form team, but it's how they improve against shite like Everton. If they put all of the dross away then they'll still be there or there abouts.

 

Having a wank about it?

 

It's a BAD thing for us that Arsenal lost today. I mean, sure, it improves our chances of finishing ahead of them but that was all but a certainty already. Our rivals for fourth are United, Spurs, and Chelsea. One of the four of us is going to miss out, along with Arsenal. Spurs are the problem, not Arsenal.

 

If Spurs had lost today our odds of finishing top 4 would probably be around 95%. As it is, we went from 91% to 90%. Not a huge drop but also not a move in the direction we want. I think if we win tomorrow we'll go back up to roughly what we were at, maybe add a point or two to that.

Honestly think it is a fight between us and chelsea now.

 

Mancs aren't dropping out because all the dross are scared of them at the toilet and they'll do enough.

 

Spurs are an excellent side have been through their slump and look really strong now after a run of tough looking games.

 

Arsenal too much to do IMHO.

 

So us or Chelsea...well if Conte stays and it gets more toxic then good for us...if he gets jibbed soon and a new man comes in and gets that squad performing as they should then we could be struggling.

 

Any significant loss of our front 3 and we could be in real bother - you don't have Solanke and Ings as your front men in a top 4 team. Also worry about our ability with our squad to manage the extra workload that is the european games when they start up again.

 

It really is touch and go IMO

[moof]

I think they still could, but they took a big hit today.

They were out of the race long before today. Spurs are ahead of us again, though. A cause for celebration?

[Elite]

I think we'll drop too many points to catch the Mancs, Spurs are looking strong and Chelsea are having a slump. It's going to go down to the wire.

We are a couple of injuries away from 4th or 7th

Lallana will be like a new signing.

Like an injury prone new signing with terrible jeans.  But they all count.

Seems fair enough

Proof that some things just can't be unseen.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Annoys me the mancs are second turgid bastards.

[joe_fishfish]

Our game today is fucking massive.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Should win this. Problem could be midfield again, with Lemina and Ward-Prowse they have at least as much, if not more, quality in there compared to us.

 

Edit: Wrong thread.

Just deleted my fence sitting vote and shifted it to the YES WE WILL column, now I can brag about being right on the internet AGAIN.

They just strike me as not really fans of football. They don’t even know it themselves. They probably didn’t play football when they were younger and that’s where it starts. I’ve got a few mates like this. They’ve just fell into it in their late teens early twenties because it’s what everyone else does. They’re more into following the team and moaning and picking fault with things because it proves to themselves they actually know what they’re talking about. In reality they’re just revelling in defeat and being miserable whilst remaining completely clueless. Football is forever evolving and when you don’t watch other football regularly you can’t compare anything. It’s usually a massive red flag for highlighting this type of “fan.”

 

There’s nothing interesting in reading or them writing the same shite over and over again with a different slant on it. Football is absolutely full of cunts like this these days and it’s odd. Everything is black and white and there’s no relative understanding behind it. Klopp might not win a trophy for another 3 years but you know what if he’s got us there or thereabouts every single one of those years I’ll be happy because it’s giving us a chance.

Guest knows.

The gap to Chelsea helps a lot. Seven points. Let’s imagine a bad scenario and we lose to Man Utd and Chelsea, but continue to match Chelsea in all other results. We have a bit of breathing room. It’s not there yet, and we must keep going, but it’s looking positive.

 

Hopefully we beat the Mancs and keep it going and finish second.

Two successive top four finishes is a hell of an achievement given the financial muscle of our rivals. The only thing I feel we are behind them in, footballing wise, is squad depth but that is improving too and will continue to do so with Klopp in charge.
