Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016/2017

The 7 teams directly below us all mess up this round of games. We really do have a chance to make up for last weeks result tomorrow against Watford

Good results all round today.

Yup but I have zero confidence in getting anything tomorrow night

Agent Coulson

It's so close at the moment this could happen.


If 3rd and 4th finish level on points and goals it goes to a play off to see which team get the automatic CL spot.

Great results for us to do, great opportunity tomorrow night.

Surely Watford will have nothing to play for.

Oh if only that helped.

Nothing to play for - check
Top half but not a "big team" - check
Strong centre forward - check
Already beat them at home - check
Monday night game - check

We are absolutely fcuked here lads. I won't even watch it, I know what's coming.

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.

Small bit in me wanted Arsenal to win to bring back #Wengerin but I'll take the lolz on Arsenal fan TV regardless

Two Manchester clubs are bottlers IMO!

But would be funny for me if you didn't gets result tomorrow. Huge opportunity for uz tho

noodler

Yeah if we win tomorrow, we should look at third.

It's reminding me of the 2014/15 run in. Both of our teams were doing their best to throw away 4th spot, dropping points like there was no tomorrow. It looks like it could be a similar situation this year, but I'd be much more confident this time around. Lallana is back now and it's almost indescribable how much he offers to the team when he's at full tilt. Might need a game to get going though, not expecting the world from him tomorrow night tbh, or from any of our players for that matter.

BorneTobyWilde

We thrashed them 6-1 at Anfield. They have won 3 at home in a row.

I'm confident we'll win tomorrow. I mean, i'll no doubt be nervy watching it but i think we'll get the win.

Agent Coulson

I like him as a player but I wouldn't be to disappointed if we didn't get van Dijk.

That £50m could probably get us say two German international CB's like Sule & Tah.


There really isn't a value to talent ratio in the PL at the moment there is a better value to talent ratio around Europe.

Well that was a wonderful day of football. Takes a lot of pressure off tommorrow night.

Don't know about that. If we don't win the game we're back to where we were this morning.

Win tomorrow though and with two home games left after that we'd really have to make a bags of it to lose out on a top 4 spot.

But the pressure is even more on those trying to catch us. And we have very winnable home games... we actually have a great home record even if it might feel like we don't.

Yes we will be back to where we were but an extra game played. Today was supposed to be the day where Liverpool fell out if top 4. I have a feeling they will batter Watford

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.

We're now tied on points, games played, and goal difference with City. We have 7 more goals scored than day do. It's neck and neck, we have as much of a chance as they do to get third place.

I wish people would take this into account when they lose patience with klopp after each point dropped. Right, we're not challenging for the title, but are otherwise keeping good company with Utd, City, and Arsenal, and everything they have going for them in terms of experience, squad, and management.

Honestly Arsenal have spent most of the last 3 months getting the piss taken out of them with 'sack wenger' signs appearing everywhere.
The other 2 after Thursday I wasn't stunned neither could beat the sides 18th & 19th in the league today.
The least we should do is compete with them as they are not very good right now.

That'd be the Australia trip fked! Would be a weird one if it were to happen.

I can't believe we're still in third after today. :v

I'm raging he's back
Ive given him stick in the past but he is creative and seems like Liverpool have been lacking it since he got injured

Osmosis Jones

I'm pretty sure it goes to goals scored if you're tied on points and goal difference.

And if goal scored is the same its a playoff. Low probability of it happening.

Gbear

While we'd all hope that we'll improve against the bottom 10 next season, I think it's reasonable to expect a bit of regression to the mean against the rest of the top 6.
We've done brilliantly with 4 pts against City, Spurs and Cheslea and 6 against Arsenal, with no defeat against the tricky multi-billionaire minnows from Old Trafford (or at least that's the way they approached those games).

You'd expect most of them to be stronger next season and those games were all still very tight.

There's more to be gained against the bottom than there is to be lost against the top though.

OwaynOTT

I think they should just do a play-off like the championship. We'd be a shoe in to get it then, in fact it would be the only way I'd be confident of getting through automatically.
Although if there's a trophy up for grabs for fourth we might have competition.

Great post. The man is doing miracles to be ahead of city and utd. He is making mistakes but learning from them. We have to remember we are not at the top anymore

BorneTobyWilde

Watford 6-1 to win at home, something they have done more than United this season.

mikeym

Thank you Swansea & Middlesboro.

I was convinced Liverpool would be in 5th by now but the 2 draws have been very beneficial.

From now on Klopp needs to treat every game like a cup final.

We need Champions League football.

Klopp is trying . After getting criticism for not shoring the team up when leading late in the game he's started trying to do that .
I expect better in game management from him next year though as he learns the league.
i can't believe we're still in the driving seat for top 4

niallo27

Treat every game like a semi final.

Harry Palmr

Visualise Watford as Arsenal, Spurs or City

I like to pretend I won't watch the game tomorrow but ultimately I will.
If Liverpool are winning well il switch it off and sob, compound the fact of facing work Tuesday.
So yes, treat it like a final

Jose is talking nonsense when it comes to alot of things imo!!!! So glad he never managed us cos I would hate to have to pretend to like him like most Utd fans are doing now.

I highly doubt it. I find it hard to believe any manager would say any player wouldn't make it at the highest level.

Looks like an awful picture made to make Klopp out to look stupid.

"Remember to put in a picture of his book to make it look real."

This quote was not in Klopp's autobiography, and was made up nonsense by a sad Newcastle fan

of course I could have made that up....

Mourinho moaning about playing 9 games in April , despite being Man Utd and spending quarter of a billion on players.

Amazed anyone had to even look up that quote for authenticity!

Come on lads!

Ings (!) Hendo and Mane deffo out with Lallana and Sturridge likely for bench.

Wijnaldum was 20 when he left Feyenord too, so it would have had to have come at some point before then. Really doubt anyone would ever say an 18/19 year old would never make it to the top level, only buyable to be used as a quick fix. Who buys a teenager as a short term solution?
