Top 4

[The Guest]

A loss and a draw and we are fifth and it’s very clearly possible. These websites and odds stuff etc can give whatever percentages they want. Football doesn’t work like that. It works to fuck you over as we all know. That John Moss cunt refeeeing Chelsea today isn’t factored into those percentages is he. He didn’t just have a shocker today he was laughably biased again.

 

I think we are going to scrape through against Roma and it’s going to leave the team a bit mentally drained for Sunday where we will lose 1-0. The last game against Brighton is going to be nervy as fuck because obviously 4th is vital but I also want Salah to bag at least 32 in the league. If we finish fifth it will put even more unnecessary pressure on the CL final.

 

Klopp mentioned it before the game and he’s right. Every game is important which is why he went as strong as he could. It’s a nightmare because every single game is on a knife edge because of the last one.

[Ginny]

Really can’t be arsed with squeaky ass time for a top 4 spot. Should have had it nailed on.

[Baltar]

Can't believe we've allowed it to come to this. To only get 2 points from relegation certs WBA and Stoke when beating either would have all but guaranteed top 4. It's ridiculous. I've already accepted that top 4 will be decided on the final day. Just pray we can do the job and beat fucking Brighton at home. Would be a formality on most days but after our last 2 league results, who knows what we'll do.

[Dundalis]

Think the point is we could have been playing our full reserves this game. Just don't need to be risking our best players, I was absolutely shitting myself when Salah began limping in the second half. That was like thinking chances of both winning the CL and qualifying both done. We just don't need to carrying fatigued players into this game when we didn't have to.

[The Golden Eel]

If we weren't in the CL semis, we'd probably be safe for top 4 by now. All the games are catching up with our thin squad. Thankfully there's a week gap after the Chelsea before Brighton and another 2 weeks before the CL final, should we get there. We'll beat Brighton. 

[The Guest]

We aren’t doing it. I think Hughton is going to have them absolutely fired up for it after the handshake business the last time we played them. Throwing the top 4 away from the position we were in is brutal mainly because it was entirely avoidable. Even today it was back to type with a performance like that. I love Klopp but I really do wish he didn’t make so many horrific decisions in game.

If we throw it away, it will be the biggest bottle job seen in football for a long time. There's no way we should have allowed it to come to this but here we are. Our form has gone to shite so I'm not confident of beating Brighton. They're better than WBA and Stoke who got a point from us so they'll fancy their chances. 

[3 Stacks]

We'll beat Brighton. Hughton's not fucking King Leonidas, he's an average midtable manager. They have zero to play for, unlike Stoke and West Brom. We're the ones that will be fired up, not them. 

[Oh Buoy]

Spurs could drop points in fairness. 

 

Newcastle and Leicester. 

[niallers]

Full week off, light light training, hell for leather against a promoted team then on Sunday. Then 13 days off to fully recharge and get some proper bench players a bit up to speed.

Newcastle and Leicester. 

 

Spurs have lost 3 of their last 5 I think so hope eternal. Bottom line is we are in the same position as last season plus if we win big ears where we finish is virtually immaterial.

[Elite]

I expect our game to be on TV next week as most games are meaningless. I might swerve it if it is, I have gone full Creator Supreme.

[VladimirIlyich]

Hysterical fannies going into meltdown again. The problem lies in the fact that after 12/13 very good players the quality is absolute dogshite. It's something that needs addressing very quickly.

[Elite]

Chelsea are due a draw soon at the very least. Hope Huddersfield can do out job for us.

[Grinch]

So now we're down to one must win game cause our squad is so shit that we can't pick up wins against anyone in the league when changes are made.

 

We should beat Brighton but then again we shouldn't have been in this position in the first place.

 

Firmly on the owners sell to buy policy.

[RobbieOR]

We’re in a European cup final in case some of you hadn’t noticed

[The Golden Eel]

Newcastle and Leicester.

I haven't checked but I think these are two of the worst teams in the league at the minute

[Harry Squatter]

We've had 2 games a week with the same players having to play both since March. On Wednesday we were completely goosed Hopefully the absence of a midweek game will help against Brighton.

 

Luckily they are safe and have no motivation. We still have to give everything in this game.

Is the right answer.

 

Last season's Boro game all over again.

 

Will be tense for sure.

 

Fully expect Chelsea to win in midweek.

[KopOut]

If we fail to beat Brighton and get overhauled by Chelsea & Spurs, and are too tired and / or not good enough to beat Real Madrid - then next season is the one we find out how good Klopp is.

[Kevin D]

Huddersfield will get a point in midweek, I think.

[Curly]

plus if we win big ears where we finish is virtually immaterial.

This thinking and mindset is what got us in this situation.

 

Arrogant and uninterested in the league recently. Like it's not important enough. Inexcusable.

[sir roger]

Can't see any slip-ups from Chelsea or Spurs , we need to beat Brighton & with a week's rest we will do that. Obviously don't want any injuries but can't have any of the CL Final players not having a game for 3 weeks , so go with the full team.

[Vincent Vega]

Huddersfield will get a point in midweek, I think.

I’m clinging to that hope, Chelsea weren’t that good today, Huddersfield have plenty to still play for, and Wagner will hopefully do his mate a good turn.

 

Chelsea also have a pretty poor record at St James Park, so hopefully Rafa can do us a favour in that one as well.

 

I really hope Real Madrid sign Hazard, because they will be pretty ordinary without him.

 

Could have done without this though, it would have been nice to rest a few players next week.

They have nearly 2 weeks rest after Brighton

 

Ok i can understand protecting players from injury due to state of squad...but reality is we have two games in 20 days left - not a big ask.
