Hang on.

Crouchy

Hand of Crouch. Please Stoke

ebbsy

Need the rosary beads out now.

Amazing that we dropped 2 points away to Sunderland and 3 at home to Swansea.

Hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be hopeful tomorrow.

Squad depth has really hurt us. All I see is ads for new shirts and sponsorship deals etc but where are the quality players ?

Not with us that is for sure.

Major questions to be asked of Klopp if he throws this away - I think it would be safe to call it a bottle job.

No - one said it has to be pretty or deserved.

Arsenal also doing what must be done.

Are we strong enough?

klose

Huge pressure on the game tomorrow, will we deliver? I have my doubts.

noodler

Haven't been confident since we missed the opportunity last Sunday.

Lots were confident arsenal couldn't take 12 from 12 but that's the two hard ones out of the way.

rob316

arsenal are getting 4th I'm not even getting my hopes up.

we'll do a Liverpool, win tomorrow and draw to relegated Middlesbrough at home.

Very confident we will win two games. We are in a great position with our fate in our own hands. Come on lads, have a positive outlook

Let's just win tomorrow first

Too many snowflakes in the Liverpool side. There, I went full Alt-Right! :pac:

In fairness, it's not like anyone is being despondent for no good reason.

I'm not so sure, it's going to be an above average points total for 4th this year so whoever misses out will probably feel unfortunate.

And imo at the start of the season Liverpool probably had the 6th best side in the league so probably ever so slightly punching to be were they are.

mosstin

Fancy us for a 2-0 win tomorrow.

Osmosis Jones

All on us now, two wins and we've got CL football next season. I just pray Klopp has some new ideas for the game, Bilic knows how to shut him out otherwise.

The bolded part is utterly irrelevant. A rising tide lifts all boats.

I've made the point before - we've been Top 4 since September. To drop out - if we drop out - at the very end of the season would be abysmal on our part. I just don't see how anyone can explain it away as anything other than failure.

Knex*

My pessimism has me thinking Liverpool are more likely to end up with 1 point from the next two games, than they are to actually get the job done and achieve top 4.

The ****ing stress of the game now tomorrow will be insane.

Arsenal lost 3 in a row at Southampton. They win.
Hadn't won at Stoke in last 6 visits. They win.

They'll win their last two games as well. Can't be relying on any more favours.

This is it in a nutshell. If they shut us out - which is a safe bet - you just dont see where the spark ot imagination is going to be...

Plus Milner misses a penalty last week for the first time in decades and mahrez forgets to stand up for his penalty today, still scores and a free out is given.

This is why I'm worried that things are not going out way.

I can imagine a pigeon running across the goal line tomorrow preventing a last min winner for us.

noodler

It'll be our own fault alright.

The lack of subs until it was too late last week still rankles.

shamrock55

Its in our own hands but its a shame thats what i fear

Your expectations are borderline unrealistic if you think this side challenging for CL place near the end of the season amounts to a failure. You can be hopeful yes, and very dissapointed if they do miss out, but don't let that blind you of the reality of the situation and relative strength of the sides you're mixing with.

Theres nothing unlucky about any of this.

We all know what happened in the last three home games.

I know we could have had this wrapped up.....but I like that nervous feeling of having something worthwhile to fight for in the league in the last few games.....

West Ham and Middlesboro.......its not Barca and Real after all. I'm not being disrespectful but we can and should take all 6 points and I think we will.

Up to us to fcuk it up, I'm bricking it...

Tomorrow's game is like a first round champions league qualifier for us now. A pity we couldn't get a bit of luck today but the job remains the same.
On the eve of our biggest game of the season my stomach is in knots at the thought of it but that's fecking great though, it means we're still playing for something. Better than going through the motions like last season. I for one am looking forward to tomorrow, bring them on ta fk!

We'll win 3-1(don't use Augeo's bookie though).

Edit-NukaCola kinda got there before me

I hate pigeons with a passion. Fckers.

Looking forward to WestHam playing out of their skin

More rumours about this Luan chap. Probably all rubbish but at least it's something anyhow. I'm sure we'll be on the verge of signing loads of lads over the summer. Signing them though is a different matter.

jesus_thats_gre

Fully expect for the West Ham result to be a kick in the nuts.

Southampton,palace,bournmouth,burnley,sunderland,swansea are hardly barce or real either are they

Gbear

I'm all for signing more Brazilians, purely on principle.

Good to make a core of them.

Think it worked well with the spaniards under Benitez.

Need a few more Germans though.
Lob in Brandt, Goretzka and Meyer and we're golden.

Lord Trollington

If Sturridge and Lallana start I can see us getting the result we need tomorrow.

If Klopp goes with Origi up front and the same passive crap we've witnessed the last few weeks we'll get nothing from this game.

I genuinely believe it's down the Klopp and team selection tomorrow. Sturridge had to start , they will fear him more and it will send out a signal to West Ham from the off

Your expectations evolve as the season progresses. It's a failure that we haven't learned how to defeat deep lying teams at home. It's a failure that we still look like conceding from almost all set pieces. It was a failure not to recruit in January.
We know the strength of the sides we're dealing with but they've underperformed woefully for the most part and we might not be able to take advantage of that in spite of giving ourselves a head start.
The most galling thing were we not to make Top 4 would be that most of the blows that were landed on us were self inflicted. Leicester never once let the "relative strength" of their opponents stop them from achieving their goal last season. When you're given an opportunity as we have this season, you take it. We still might but, again, it'll be a failure if we don't.
