Klopp needs to set off a rocket under their arses at HT

Ederson has to save that, fuck me.

Good shout

Early goal here would be splendid

And that should be that

Maybe they could rebuild it brick by brick in a different part of the city?

I get the fact that Burnley seem to have the bit between their teeth but them transforming from one of the worst sides in the league into Europa League form for the last 10 games is unbelievably unlikely. From struggling to pick up a point a game to averaging about 1.8ish a game simply isn't going to happen, they're shit and at the bottom for very good reasons. I can accept they could well play a bit better and improve but not to the extent that some are suggesting. We're not safe yet but we still have 21 points left to play for ourselves. Even a paltry 4 or 5 from 21 would almost certainly be enough. The numbers are massively in our favour and we're in a position every single one of us would have gladly accepted on Boxing Day.

3. Clinical stuff

What time will they sack Lampard if they lose again today? I'll go 3.45pm

I'll price it up on PP I might even learn to read things properly while I'm at it

I don't think a fan outside of Norfolk gives a single shit about Norwich going down, same could be said of Fulham coming back up, it's simply not a story as it's happened before and people expected it. Everton going down would be huge, the scale of it, the surprise of it and the possible consequences to a genuinely massive club. Said it before but they remind me of us back in 2009 and it wouldn't surprise me if rival fans act exactly like Villa fans did for their (horrendous) run in.

1 more win needed. 2 more means we can throw the last game and relegate Everton. Which would be awful obviously.

That could well be the worst half of football I've ever seen from an entertainment point of view. Might and go and paint the garage for the second half.

Liked the sound of this (and blatantly copied it) but couldn't find it so I priced it up on PP and it's nearly 60/1 on there. I'd cash out and place it on there mate

Strongly fancy a draw tonight actually but so do the bookies by the looks of it, just over 2/1 in most places when it's generally much higher

It's the fear of being leapfrogged in the last few minutes of the entire season that's got people on edge I think. Losing at Burnley and dropping into the bottom 3 on the final day is a truly horrific way to go. Thankfully the chances of this are pretty remote imo

Lampard is fucking clueless. Fight, battle, work hard, fight, work, battle, fight. Cunt is taking them down

Imagine if Iwobi had screwed that shot wide like he normally does...

Can see Everton getting another 8 points maximum from their fixtures and that's assuming they actually beat decent sides at home. We may already have enough tbh but I think just 4 or 5 more points absolutely seals it. 538 have us at 5% to go down. We're used to being pessimistic but the numbers favour us strongly right now.

Scoring 2 pens and still losing late on like that is exactly the type of thing that happens to sides that eventually go down. Gold plated examples of shooting themselves in their foot tonight.

We have 7 games before that one to ensure its a dead rubber for us, if we lose the lot then I'll be panicking. But we won't

Pickford's slice led to that

2-2 in the PFM classico. Hard and low, just how Dyche likes it.

It's not the fact they got both of them given tonight, it's the fact we've had a dozen similar/better claims completely ignored this season. Others get them, we don't.

I don't think it's the defeat as such that's got people riled, it's the manner of it. The undefeated 3rd quarter of the season raised expectations of fans and Howe rightly got praised to the rafters for the results and performances but today was as bad as it's been under Bruce. The drop-off in effort and organisation was pronounced and a blast from the bad old days which suggest Howe is still a million miles away from cracking it consistently. Today was shocking but that's 3 losses off the bounce now and questions are rightly going to be asked of Howe and the players and they need answers. They all need to take the rough with the smooth and respond on Friday
