Not much evidence lately to suggest that we're capable of doing this, but I am going to say that if we win our next three matches (Fulham away, Everton away, West Ham home), we'll be top by the end of April.
Significant point to note is that City would have a match in hand at that point but Arsenal now have Wolves away, Chelsea at home and Tottenham away. That's a tricky run on the back of two defeats and a draw in their last three matches; I reckon they will slip up somewhere there.

RR - I think the West Ham game is also away, so 4 away games on the trot - very difficult to get maximum points from those. In fact, I think we have the toughest run in of the top 3.
The one for me is Everton, because I can see them turning us over next week, especially if we play like we have in the past 3 games.

RR, West Ham is away.

Villa away is also tough. They're going for top 4. I just fear that even if we win all of our 6 games, which is a massive ask, we will still fall short. That's why losing to Palace was gutting.

Not beating United. Drawing with all the top 4 sides. drawing with Luton and countless others.

I can't see us winning many of them unfortunetly. it feels like that that time we lost six in a row. We look dead oN our legs.

Love the optimism lads but it's done now I'm afraid, the United game was always going to be the one and for whatever reason we blew it. Maybe it's Klopps bizarre choice to go back to slow down Pep ball, or the fact the forwards couldn't finish. Same with the Palace game and that was the final nail.
Still been a very good season with an entire new midfield and to win the cup with the kids shouldn't be scoffed at.
But once again City are too strong, now u could point to the VAR in the Spurs game, not getting pretty blatant penalties against Arsenal or City but lifes too short.
Fingers crossed for a minor miracle tonight in Italy, the team is capable of it but as he's already admitted I'm not sure the manager is anymore.

I'm worried about Fulham away. They always seem to give us a game. In our last 6 games against them we've only won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1.

In some ways I was hoping that city would win last night but now they only have the league to really focus on I don't expect them to mess up. Very frustrating but I still think we've done brilliantly to keep on their heels. We really are just a consistent striker short this season, needs to be addressed. Hopefully new tactics might resolve that under a new manager either that or we can unearth another Salah-like gem from somewhere!
Different topic, I wonder if the likes of Madrid would still be interested in Haaland given his all round contribution this season. My guess would be no.

I love how when things go wrong for us Pep gets the blame, though no one was praising him when we were winning every week. The only person to blame for tactics is Klopp.

Time for Klopp to let the brakes off and full throttle heavy metal football again geothermal full backs rampaging down the flanks for width and bin the hybrid full back role for good
Up the pool.

Geothermal full backs? That may well be an autocorrect issue but I love it! ?.

Have people seen how majority of teams are setting up to play against us.
Its extremely hard to play heavy metal rampaging football when the opposition put 11 men behind the ball in 30 yards of space and you've got 75% plus possession.
City and Chelsea didn't at Anfield and both nights we looked exceptional. Then we go up against a Sheff utd and Palace and look a different team.

Jesus lads, wouldn’t want some of you boys in the trenches ?. I know it’s difficult and we’re going to need a degree of luck but let’s not chuck in the towel yet ?♂️. Anyway, ebbed if we can’t win I still want that second spot ?.

Wishful thinking I'm afraid mate, we're not winning the league, we can hope but it's not happening and we all know it.
I just wish to Christ tactics would be changed but that's not going to happen. We're pretty doomed this season. Gutted but there's more important things in life. We move on.

No! Salah not u too, you're the king of positivity on here. Don't listen to me I'm just a cynical grump haha.
There is always hope, maybe just a fools hope.

I’m not saying that we’ll win or not, but, we have been to Atalanta in a Champions League game at their place and pumped them for five goals with no response in recent memory. So it’s entirely plausible that we can do it again. We’ve nothing to lose but going for the jugular.
17.) 18 Apr 2024
18 Apr 2024 17:00:32
I can’t see where our next Goal comes from never mind Win ?
On a serious note I hope we give it a good crack tonight.

I agree with jk23. We have always struggled against teams with 11 men behind the ball. ( wasn’t that the reason we got Thiago? To unlock defences ) there is not a team out there I’m wary of we have had a wobble and most of you are saying it’s game over, klopps finished he has run his course . Think you need to remember he turned us from doubters to believers. In klopp we trust.

AAR91, there's a method in my madness mate lol I'm always wrong so if I say we won't win it, we probably will :) - we can hope mate.

That's a good point, JK. We can't press teams that don't have the ball. But when we have it we need to move it quicker, use more of the pitch and try and pull teams out of their shape. When Salah, Diaz, Gakpo cut inside- without a fullback overlapping- it does my head in.
It's the same with players having an extra touch or look when we are building attacks.
I think we've also suffered because the front three have been weaker with their backs to goal. Diaz is no Mane, Salah has been injured and out of sorts and it's not what Nunez is good at. Nunez is a big lad and his hold up and link up play does need to improve.

we would struggle to win a raffle.
Klopps clearly checked out mentally, no way a teams form could turn this bad, we've fallen off a cliff.
It's like they've given up.

Excellent support. Just may as well not bother playing the remainder of our games.
Do any of you even go the match?

Secure top 4.
If you win the league - brilliant - but others would have to capitulate.

18 Apr 2024 22:21:50
Have you watched the games cooler? Or do you think anything that's been said is unjustified?
Or do you think it's the forum that's causing us to not be able to pass the ball in the final 3rd?

We won the game. Not by enough goals, but it’s a scruffy win hopefully it builds some momentum for last few games.

Taking off my red tinted glasses and based on the way we are playing, I think we finish third or 2nd at best, we aren’t playing great atm or for a while now .
Loved to be proved wrong but I don’t think I will be.

What are the odds for us to misss out on Top4. 6 games to go. 11 behind spurs, 8 behind Villa. 4 away games. I can't see us winning anything tbh.
31.) 19 Apr 2024
19 Apr 2024 07:31:24
Sadly I'm a bit worried about top4, we could realistically drop a lot of points if these performances continue.
I thought we had a bit of chance for 2 trophies this year, now we have to worry about CL places.
32.) 19 Apr 2024
19 Apr 2024 09:31:05
That is what's concerning me dean, if we continue playing like this we won't win an arguement, imagine if we didn't get top 4? that'd be disastrous.
33.) 19 Apr 2024
19 Apr 2024 09:50:20
Unfortunately we just don’t have enough players playing well. Mac carried us for a good while, but he needs others around him to contribute. If Klopp goes for the same starting midfielders we will drop even more points.
34.) 19 Apr 2024
19 Apr 2024 10:40:51
realistically spurs are 11 points behind, so even with a few expected losses, i would really hope we can be awful and still get top 4.
Otherwise that would be disaster!
35.) 19 Apr 2024
19 Apr 2024 13:03:51
I called it after the FACup debacle.
We wouldn’t win anything else and we’d be in a battle for top 4.
Got loads of abuse for it. ?♂️.
