We'll if we get 3rd, Arsenal are more than welcome to 4th. In fact I'd go as far as saying that would be my preferred option. Liverpool 3rd, Arsenal 4th, City and Utd in the EL, with Utd not winning the EL this season of course. If Carlsberg did the end to the season...

I'm tired of seeing Arsenal in the CL as it's become so predictable at this stage, but if it keeps Wenger in the job (and keeps the 4th jokes alive), I'm all for it.

Everyone here realises we will fcuk it up tomorror right

BorneTobyWilde

I was 99% certain we'd be in 5th place goin into game tomorrow, turns out we remain 3rd .
AMAZING !
A win tomorrow is a huge step towards 3rd place now ! A few goals would be a bonus.

Given hoe competitive the pl is I don't think perennial CL qualification for a few years is overly realistic, not just for us either of course.

Christ I sure hope being in an out of top four isn't part of the long term plan!

I think City and Utd will spend a bucket of money regardless and be a popular destination for all but the most top level of footballers whether or not they're in the CL.

Arsenal missing out could **** them up for a long time.
It could mean losing their best players, not being able to compete with us for targets, and a general moderate sized implosion of the club resulting in them being out of the race for a few years.

From our perspective, I definitely think Arsenal is the one we want missing out.

We should totally throw caution to the wind tomorrow night and try to rack up a score to press the goal difference advantage... :pac:

Am I the only thinking of Crystal Palace here?

I'd say you'll be devastated if we win.

Here's hoping Spurs hammer Arsenal.

Let's buy Defoe.

At 34, we might as well buy Willem Dafoe.

need Spurs to get a result today....

Harry Palmr

Sooner buy Modeste as he's 3 or 4 years younger.

Riesen_Meal

Up to the players whether we shît the bed or don't tomorrow night, it's on a plate for us, have we got the bottle?

There's this other lad. Plenty of grit and quality but a similar underrated shout.

From La Liga.

Think his name is Iago Aspas or something.

I heard he's turned a corner alright

Osmosis Jones

If Aspas knocks United out of the EL then I'll love him regardless of anything else.

We are usually very good at capitalising on others mistakes, ive never been so confident as i will be tomorrow night.

I'd take Defoe in a heartbeat as a backup striker. Need a large squad next season.

Im sure Defoe would bite your hand off for the opportunity.

Iused2likebusts

I always liked Defoe would be a great man to bring on for last 15/20 if chasing a goal.

Osmosis Jones

Defoe's had a good year but I'm sure there are far better players we can bring in, even as back up, over the summer.

I know, it sounds bad but if you think about it........ Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs & Liverpool.

At least two of that 6 have to miss out on Top4 every year.

Plans are all well and good.

Surely speed is a very important part of defoes game and he is at an age where he will be losing that. It is different for older players who rely on strength and height and stay at the top of their game for longer.

We have the backups - Firmino, Origi, Ings, in that order.

We need the starting CF.

Harry Palmr

Firmino is the first name on the team sheet (after Lovren) if you are Klopp

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

I'm thinking...

Spurs lose today, get beaten by United, fall apart last few games az they are wont to do...

We could get 2nd....

EDIT and so much for that idea....!

Fook that my friend.

Defoe has more goals than any of our forwards despite his age and a distinct lack of service.

The very idea of Origi or Ings as being ahead of him in any pecking order is nuts.

Also, let's sign William Dafoe.

I don't think he's knocking Defoe at all. But improving the first 11 is preferential to improving your bench

I'd say Klopp has figured out that Mane is the critical piece of our jigsaw.

You don't really think that?

Its like parallel universe in the liverpool thread where reality is not your friend.

livinginkorea

Well that's that then. Hard to see Arsenal getting back from that.

Mane would be a nano-second later.

Every single result going our way and Spurs still involved in the title race prior to playing United.

noodler

We need that today cos I still can't see us winning at Watford.

Well, it's been said a few times but if we don't we can't complain about not getting Top 4.

I'm more thinking a loss there still keeps us on track if spurs and arsenal do us favours vs utd.

I'm hoping for better of course, win next two and I'd say we are there.

Just nice to know could lose and still be favourites.

It'd be nice to do it without needing outside assistance.

Luckily a loss tomorrow would only be a real disappointment rather than extinguishing all hope.

SuperTortoise

Just seen the rest of the results from today, could'nt get much better really.

Agent Coulson

Good results all round today.

martyos121

After the Arsenal result, we only need to worry about one of the Manchester clubs now, just finish above either one of them and we're grand.

Finish above both and we're definitely straight into the CL group stages. That's the aim now.

murpho999

Great results for us today, great opportunity tomorrow night.

Surely Watford will have nothing to play for.

Utopia Parkway

Couldn't have gone much better for us today. Be criminal if we don't take advantage tomorrow having been thrown this lifeline.

OwaynOTT

Liverpool done well today without having to kick a ball, pity we have to kick the ball tomorrow.
