Giroud could be huge for Chelsea if he delivers the goals.

Don't think it is. We have a chance, somehow, to finish second. And Utd lost.
That's a win win really.

Great round of fixtures from a Liverpool perspective. Would have preferred a United win but feck it, United losing is never a bad thing either. United, Chelsea and Arsenal losing and Liverpool winning. Not bad at all. :)

I'm alluding to a deadline day signing but of course karius could be huge for us if he scores lots of goals.

Spurs will be full of confidence Sunday - Be happy enough to draw really -- but it's set up for a cracking game.

Thank god we're at home

Spurs played well but Utd opened the door for them by playing Pogba in a midfield two leaving a sluggish Matic (who had played virtually every game this session) to try and project their defense.

We'll be playing three in midfield and they'll be a lot more energetic and dynamic than Matic and Pogba.

Bring them on!!

Some of the Utd fans had 'goosebumps' pre match about the line up they were playing.

After the match they can't believe such an attacking side was picked.

Funny old game!

Hopefully spurs press high Sunday.

All the BT experts have Liverpool dropping out of top 4. What a joke, Rio, Frank Lamp, and Wheeler Dealer Harry all think we have no hope.

They all don't want Liverpool in the top 4 either

You mean to say former Man Utd, Chelsea & Spurs employees see them making the top 4?
Who cares

Ya, I recommend peeping over the wall from when the teams were announced up until 8:00:10.48 Greenwich mean time.

Glad to see the deadwood elsewhere. Markovic was such a shockingly bad signing. The price we paid for him at the time was very big too. Up there amongst the worst transfers the club has made. 
Be nice to see an attacking player brought in but expecting only outgoing moves.

Still can't believe Sturridge actively choose West Brom to go to. Bottom of the legue and managed by Alan Pardew. The fuck, like?

They're both partial to a naff dance. Adds up to me.

I'm watching match of the day here and I see sturridge through on goals for West Brom. Where have i been for the week.

Had a chance tonight.

But was like a snail going through on goal before Walker made up 10 yards on him. Painful to watch.

Fast forward 26 hours and we are 3rd in the league.

More deflection.

More spoofing.

More ****e.

I know, it still makes no sense to me.

The team is awful, bottom of the league, creates few chances, usually penned back for the whole game, and their only positive spark of late is the return of Jay Rodriguez - direct competition to Sturridge's game time.

There were tonnes of clubs that would have been a much better fit, particularly Newcastle, if he really wanted to stay in England. They actually play okay football at times - better than their players should be really, thanks to Rafa - but desperately need someone in the box to finish. Perfect for him.

Just no aspect of his decision makes sense to me.

Great set of fixtures for us, Spurs our only rival getting any points and we're still 2 points ahead of them and they come to Anfield next Sunday. If we win that game then we'll be 5 points safe inside the top 4 regardless of all the other results in that round of games.

Conte will be pulling his hair out, which is a shame as it cost a fortune .

Were other teams in for him? Perhaps it was West Brom or stay at Liverpool. If that was the case, perfectly understandable choice to join them.

He turned down Newcastle anyway, and there was word of other teams he picked West Brom ahead of too. West Ham was another anyway.

Rafa and Newcastle would have been perfect for him I think. They moved on and got Slimani after Sturridge turned them down, which I think is still a good move from Rafa, but Sturridge would have been perfect for their style of play.

He scored plenty for that side too iirc.

I hate that nickname Fun Bobby. Please pour some pîss on the person who thought it up.

The bedrock of my FF team is De, Gea, Jones, Azpiliceuta & Alonso of Chelsea and Bellerin from Arsenal. Got absolutely slaughtered this gameweek. Delightful.

Sturridge seems to be a confidence player so I suspect he wanted to play under an English manager in the run up to the World Cup. Pardew will indulge him, we know Rafa very much wouldn't.

Woke up this morning in the vain hope that we made an 11th hour swoop for someone, but then of course reality kicked in.

Spare a thought for Mahrez though, he has a long 5 months ahead of him with players and fans that dont like him.

I wouldn't imagine they will have much problems it be no different then coutinho in the summer really.

I guess ye are all looking up rather then down now after last night's results going to be a fun run in to the end of the season.

Still think pool will beat spurs the weekend at home. We made them look A lot better then they are.

We beat Spurs and we are in a very strong position to cement top 4 place. Chelsea look to have come off the boil and Utd are still trying to figure out their best players and position.

We could sneak it this season.

I would take a draw as it keeps us above them. But I do think we can beat them. Just like against City, we have a bit of revenge to dish out.

As well know, Liverpool can beat any of the big sides. It's the relegation candidates we end up losing against

I think he mentioned he was happy to go there to be close to his family. I assume his parents and stuff as he is from that neck of the woods iirc.

If he can get a run of games for the rest of the season and score a decent few goals, he will either get klopp interested or else he will have a few clubs sniffing about in the summer. But right way it gives him a great chance for the world cup if he stays fit.

Yeah for sure ye can beat anyone,, for what the midfield lacks in quality it has in attitude that will help in so many games but where ye will come unstuck is with an injury or fatigue if he get into next round of Europe that will be another 2 weeks of 2 games a week it's not possible for a team to keep up pressing like that and play twice a week continuously.

I really think Chelsea will be the team to miss out but I also wouldn't be surprised if conte is gone in the next few days and a manager comes in and gets them firing again as usually happens that's what we need to be weary of.

Any of the four teams from 2nd to fifth have major flaws it's just how each manger deals with them that's going to decide who gets in and who finishes fifth.

Utd were comedy gold last night. Nice to see them put back in their box.

Careful now, we'll be seen to be coming out of ours if certain threads are to be believed.

After 25 games we have 50 points.... 2ppg. It's looking like 76 points might just get top 4.

I'd be fairly confident we can get 2ppg from our remaining 13 games TBH if salah keeps filling the onion bag. 7 wins & 5 draws gets us there

It's difficult to know if coutinho will be a significant loss results wise for us. I'm hoping & thinking he won't.

7th. Regardless of the result, both ourselves and Spurs will struggle to finish 7th. Or 1st.

End of Jan last year... played 23 & had 46 pts

8-10

Up 1 pt after 25 games

Last season after 25:

1 Chelsea 60pts
2 City 52pts
3 Spurs 50pts
4 Arsenal 50pts
5 Liverpool 49pts

This season after 25:

1 City 68pts
2 United 53pts
3 Liverpool 50pts
4 Chelsea 50pts
5 Spurs 48pts

Strikingly similar situation 2nd - 5th
