This is actually a huge game today, a win would pretty much guarantee a top 4 finish. Even if Chelsea won their next 3 games (including against us) they'd still be 2 points behind us going into the last game of the season. let's hope Mo can add to his tally and really pull away from Kane in style.

Also can the keyboard warriors stop bitching, you've turned this great site into bloody loose women!

We played crap tbh. Fair play to stoke they defended well. Applause to pieters he kept salah at bay very well and zouma was a beast for them. Still don't see chelski catching Tottenham never mind us. ahh well bring on Roma.

We looked tired. And clearly, the players have an eye towards Wednesday night and Roma. Seems like the same procedure as last week - minimal damage and no injuries (unless TAA has something serious) .

Spot on, Ra1969. No injuries and we did not lose, top 4 still in our hands, I'm chill with that. Nostadamus, I respectfullydisagree. What was terrible about that perf. esp. under the circumstances? Our boys did not play well and that much was obvious BUT what would you have had Klopp do? Sub in the injured players he had, to change the game? Start players Like Lovren and Robbo who clearly needed a blow cos they have been evaluated by the staff? Play Mane who was rested as a precaution (who we missed dearly today)? Sorry, I may not be happy with the result but your post lacks any perspective and context of any kind. N by the way, top 4 is still in our hands and so is the CL semis so there's that. Also, the ref denied us a stonewall pen AGAIN (like last week) so is that Klopp and the players' fault? Again, no context at all. As for me again, the biggest positive here is that a) we did not lose and b) we have top 4 still in our hands and c) NO INJURIES cos when Hendo went down I crapped my boxers.

FatBoy, Pieters did not play Salah very well at all. If he did, why was he trying to rip the shirt off his back at every tyrn? He did that ALL game and the onbly reason he kept doing it was cos the Ref NEVER sanctioned him. Please, let's be correct here. Pieters was cheating all game and the ref let him get away with it.

It's not all doom and gloom just yet, 3 points to get, we'll get them, once we get past next Wednesday we'll be more focused. Sure WB and Stoke, not great results, it happens it's football, think of the positives instead of the negatives. We're almost in the CL final :) our players are mostly fit, thank god, that to me is a massive bonus after today. Get Roma dealt with and then focus on Chelsea next week. Oh and, please Swansea, beat them for us today!

Come on Swansea 👍

A point is not a terrible result to be honest. Stoke are scrapping for their lives.
Chelsea still have it all to do.
If we’re going to have a poor performance then I’d prefer it was against a poor side like Stoke than a team like Roma.

Exactly my thoughts too Ron. Chelsea are under much more pressure then we are, it's ours to throw away in the end of the day, we'll be fine imo.

Regardless of whether you have red tinted glasses or are doom and gloom I think we can all admit the last 2 league games have been poor performance and result wise. The team we see play against Roma and City twice is not the same team we watched play last 2 (or Palace) . Top 4 could have and should have been sewn up by now. It was only a week or so ago people were saying we will get 2nd but now we have to get a result at Chelsea to allow us to rest players against Brighton if needed. This season has been incredible but it could still fall apart. Let's not start shooting people down for airing their opinion. Huge game this week and hopefully Swansea can do us a favour tonight.

I would agree with Jayden, there aren't many positives to take from the last 2 league performances! you're definitely grasping if it comes to "at least noone got injured"
Bit worrying that some of the fringe players don't look able to slot in, and as much as i like ingsy, i'm not sure waht you get from him over someone like solanke or even woodburn who though young is a bit more creative! let's hope we don't cock up Roma!

Jayden, no one shooting anyone down and saying we were poor in the last two PL games is stating the obvious. The rest of us just choose to take things in context and look at the bigger pic. in our judgment of events and not go all knee jerk and petulant cos we did not win a couple of game and banging on and on about the freaking obvious. I knew that based on the obvious circumstances with the massive injuries we have and the need to rest a few plahyers, we may or may not win today and unlike many others, I was not surprised we did not win even tho, I was still disappointed.

For me today more than anything, we did not lose and most importantly, NO INJURIES. Hendo going down almost sent me crapping in my pants. That is for me, the main thing cos like it or not, we have put ourselves in a position to be in control of our own destiny regardless of what Chelsea do or don't do. 3 points in the last two games and top 4 is ours. Even better, if Chelsea even mess about and not beat Swansea, top 4 is sealed, end of story.
Like it or not, it is what it is. Yes, we should have had top 4 sewn up but guess what, you take the world as it is and not as you would like it to be. CL is where it's at for us right now and if Salah was to miss a gaping goal, I'd rather it be now and not vs Roma. Again, no red stinted glasses mate. Just perspective and context. I'm sure people can understand the difference.

We'll beat Brighton. Of that, I'm certain.
The main focus for now though is Roma. Winning that match comes with a confidence boost.

Br totally respect your opinion mate and I do enjoy reading your comments. You say I have stated the obvious by saying we were poor but your argument is no one was injured. Which is you "stating the obvious" there has been no knee jerk reaction from me My opinion has not changed all season. Our front 3 have been world class and have almost carried us to where we are. When 1 is missing we are not the same side. I'm all for resting players but I do not understand why both our right backs played, yet our left back didn't. Why did VVD not need a rest and Lovren did. Why was Hendo risked when we know he has his injury struggles. We were in control of our own destiny to finish 3rd this morning now we are in control to finish 4th. It's not all doom and gloom but what is wrong with being critical of today's performance. There's nothing wrong with being honest and saying it how you see it. Also your "take the world as it is" is hardly an argument. You could literally just say that if we got relegated. But it hardly means anything or makes sense to the argument.

Not bothered with what Chelsea do. We are in control, not them and if we either take a point at the Shed or beat Brighton, top 4 is ours.

Jayden, I never said you made a knee jerk reaction so there's that. Also, there is nothing wrong with being critical of today's result. What I was sayin was that on this thread, someone called the manager and the players "Terrible" for having such a perf. Really? Terrible? That was what my initial post was about hence, my disagreement. I said that the perf. was not good. That does not remove from the fact that the circumstances we are currently facing is knife-edge stuff so you look at things broadly instead of calling players and the manager who are currently giving their all, in a wild CL ride terrible just cos we did not wing some stupid game vs Stoke. Had we won and Hendo or Salah had done their ankles. do you think I would give a hoot if we had won?

As for why some players were risked and others were rested, you are aware that these players are evaluated by the sports scientists and physios who track their game time over the season and are evaluated to see who may need a rest and who can be risked, right? See, this is why I don't talk about such things cos I actually know how they work. If you do not have the info the coaching staff have on this topic, then you are moaning for no reason hence, I don't do it as it is pointless. You're going to have to trust the manager on these matters, I'm afraid.

Also, I am not interested in talking about things/ situations I cannot change. We all can moan about "lack of depth or if one of our forwards are missing, there's no one to replace them adequately", till the cows come home. Our injuries came in quick succession and there is NOTHING that will change that. We have the hand we are dealt and we go with it in the hope that we will hit paradise in Kiev and top 4. Love your posts as well, Jay. God bless.

if we win the Champions League, do we qualify for next seasons Champions league?
I am asking this, cos it could all come down to our last game V Brighton,
it will be very very close, its 4th or 5th, both Spurs and Chelsea will win their remaining games,
we will just have to win our last game,
just to mention that we have had this season 8 early kick offs, more than most,
and guess what, we have won only one,
I mentioned this early kick offs for us, and all I got was, its the same for both teams,
in my opinion, its another ploy from the FA, to stop us,
what we need to do is improve the squad, to be playing games with Gomez and Moreno as our full backs, and then we have no game changers as subs,
players like Ings are great, but we don't get many goals,
so mr Klopp, start spending some money, and move on a couple more players who don't belong in a top four side .

just to finish off, its all about getting past Roma, then beating Brighton, then we can celebrate .

Br I've had to re check the thread and have literally only just saw the comment saying manager and players were terrible. Not sure how I managed to miss that first time round. Now your original post makes more sense to me and I back track with my shoot people down comment. I am also extremely glad that Hendo and Salah weren't injured but they were still risked and I think so should have been Milner and Roberston. Top 4 is in our hands but this morning top 3 was in our hands. I would love us to win the CL but our record in finals is not great and if we get there we will face 1 of either Real or Bayern who are absolutely top class. We have to go full strength against Chelsea and if we lose that then Brighton game will be more pressure than any other game this season. It just feels like we always bloody do it the hard way. But I suppose that is part and parcel being an LFC fan. YNWA.

{Ed001's Note - Robertson was injured and was only fit for the bench, Milner was not deemed fit enough to start and play on Wednesday. He had played a few games in a row with no break and he does run himself into the ground.}

Jay, see what Ed just posted there as to why some where risked and others were only fit to be benched? Like I said, if you don't have the inside scoop on players well-being before games, you will just be getting worked up for no reason as to why this or that player did not play or could not play. This is why you don't fret over such things as there are reasons why certain players play or don't play.

As for your post, I agree that top 3 was a target but personally, I'm not bothered cos apart from PL money based on where you finish, CL footie is CL footie cos the 4th team go straight into the group stages.

As for us playing the CL final or not, I again, disagree. A CL final is premordial, IMO cos we have worked too hard, broken too many barriers, sweat and blood to get to where we are, a strong position to make that final. We will be the envy of all of England should we make it. Now can we win it? We will have to get past Roma first and see what happens. YNWA!
