This is to those who are saying we’re now going to miss out on the top 4, I know that yesterday was a disappointment and we’ve all had a bit of a kneejerk but you’ve suffered a massive over reaction, we’re still in the driving seat and we’re still likely to qualify for the CL.

Whilst there are no absolutes 75 points will probably be enough and that’s only three wins away. Arsenal have three games in hand but they’re against a resurgent Leicester, Spurs and Utd, they’re not going to take 9 points from those games so they won’t catch us unless we collapse.

Utd are away for 4 of their final 6 games including City, Arsenal and Spurs, they also have to suffer Palace and Allardyce enjoys few things more than getting one over Mourinho, they are going to drop points. City will probably finish above us but third or fourth is much of a muchness and that wouldn’t bother me. We still have work to do to get top four but it’s work we’re should expect to manage.

Agreed. Very frustrating but let's move on. Hopefully Lallana and Hendo and dare I say sturridge are available in the coming games.

yes, we have to move on, one game at a time, Hendo I think will not play again this season, Sturridge won't get much game time, Lallana will play, but for me, we are playing for 4th or 5th place, do Klopp and the team have the bottle to make top four, or have we blown it, when it comes down to having to win every game, its much more difficult .

Well done Putney. A good post that displays a sensible perspective.

Good to see an uplifting post, still quietly confident that we will get top 4, united have several tough games left and also have europa league which will affect their league form hopefully. Top 4 is massive for us as we will be able to attract much needed quality players especially in our defence who are making their best effort to derail our top 4 hopes.

I think United getting to the UEFA final may see them playing weakened teams in their last couple of games which may help us out in our quest 4th place. I think we need 10 points from 12 really, yesterday was a big defeat for us really, very frustrating.

I'd feel more confident if our last 4 games were against Chelsea, Spurs, City and Utd.

Those are the games where we come out of the traps fighting from the first minute. They also give us more space to play.

When we play lower teams we start at a poor tempo, passing endlessly from side to side and never get into the game until it's too late.
