What is the cost implications of not winning the PL or the CL, end even possibly miss out on FSG`s holy cash cow; the top 4? With the current and foreseeable squad situation we are more likely to drop out of top 4 than winning the league.

This match can define the rest of the season. If we lose we are probably 6 points behind them, going into a tough period with no proven CB to rely on, and wiithout decent back up for the front 3. While United enter the same period with easier games, and a big and strong squad with no injury-concerns. We simply must win this. Most important match against United for ages. If anyone still think that these fuckers can not win the league this year, they need to get their heads out of their arses quick. As it stands now, they are the favourites for the title along with City IMO. We are in free fall, and we have ourselves to thank for this. Yes, we have had very bad luck, but the best teams and clubs plan for the really difficult situations. We have been to complacent and made awful decisions: Letting Lovren go, not providing competition or back-up for TAA (and most likely not for Robbo either), relying to much on Bobby etc. And the most awful decision of them all, bordering on the criminal: thinking we can survive this without a new solid CB. The big positive is Thiagos return, but it is not enough. Lacking quality CB to trust is not only a problem for the defence, it is a big problem for the midfield too, it creates insecurity, and it stops us from using Fabinho in midfield. Thinking that the midfield will be OK without him and Hendo is hilarious. Not long ago we were the best team in the world. Now we seem to be willing to sacrify that position to save a few pounds. I wonder if the owners have calculated the economical cost of losing our status as the world`s and the country`s best team. It will cost us much more then the extra money it cost to buy in january instead of the summer. I hope that Jurgen`s expressed views on the CB-situation is caused by his loyalty to the owners, and not something he really believes.

A total fuckin embarrasment. Right now we are not among the top 10 teams in the league. But do we need to sign new defenders? Hell, no, let us go out of the cup, forget about top 4 and save the money.

Fixed it for you.

By the way; we need TWO new defenders, not one, as the greek guy also seem to be made of glass.

Brilliant from Aldo, every fucking word. Anyone that disagrees with this need to get their heads checked.

Gini is a key player. Tie him up FFS! I thought Keita had a good game, he was sharp and mobile. I still have hope that there is a monster player in there somewhere. Other than that: great report as always! Regarding the next two games: Klopp has to gamble by playing our C-side against Atalanta. I dont want to see Fabinho, Matip, Robbo, Gini, Sadio or Bobby anywhere near the pitch. Saturday against Brighton is MUCH more important.

Hmmm.. From the Wolves forum: «I like Jota but he is extremely inconsistent, and has some poor finishing and decision making. The game last season where he missed a fairly easy chance but then scored a great goal was a good summary. Or he'll have the most awful game you can imagine and then score a hat-trick next game. On his day he's unplayable, but 9/10 you'll get him running into blind alleys. He is a good player and has done a lot for us, but isn't a top player. One of the players I would say we need to upgrade on if we want to kick on.»

Bobby is a fucking genious. Jota is not fit to lace his boots. Decent player, not a regular starter at Wolves if reports are correct.

Nail on head.

It’s funny, but hearing that we are 23 points ahead of City seem much more comforting than hearing that we can lose it all with 4 draws and 4 losses. It is still the same scenario. As our form is dreadful, I will still say that anything is possible.

In our 7 last matches we have managed two wins, which was both with one goal margin against relagation candidates at home. Dreadful form. Lose against Palace and it will be total panic mode. 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 7 games after Palace? Not impossible. 15.02.20 18.30 Norwich City - Liverpool PL 0-1 18.02.20 21.00 Atletico Madrid - Liverpool CL 1-0 24.02.20 21.00 Liverpool - West Ham PL 3-2 29.02.20 18.30 Watford - Liverpool PL 3-0 03.03.20 20.45 Chelsea - Liverpool FA 2-0 07.03.20 13.30 Liverpool - Bournemouth PL 2 - 1 11.03.20 21.00 Liverpool - Atletico Madrid CL 2 - 3 e.e.o. 21.06.20 20.00 Everton - Liverpool PL 0 - 0

Yes. And that may happen if we lose against Palace. The psychological factor in this should not be underestimated. Having the title to lose after 30 years will cause anxiety and stress far beyond any normal situation.

Lack of will and intensity was not the problem today.

Salah coming on and being shit again was the last thing we needed.
