Karjala Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Is there still an advantage to finishing 3rd rather than 4th concerning the Champions League? Does 3rd guarantee it, and 4th require a qualification play off first? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I think the thing that is making me a little nervous is Liverpool have two very winnable home games before we next play. If it’s down to 3 points before we play Arsenal, then pressure is a funny thing. Hopefully it’s just a case of us all being a massive bunch of fannies.

I said midweek that if we beat Villa it's over. We've beaten Villa, and I don't think it's over. That's with us regularly being in the Champions League since I've supported the club. I can't imagine the pessimism I'd have after suffering through Pardew, Bruce and Ashley. Edited May 1, 2023 by Froggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one for conspiracy but it’s crazy how var decisions in Liverpool games are every game and only ever go one way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Liverpool have got away with it re decisions against West Ham and Spurs, that usually catches up with you. Their defence is hardly water tight either. I think they’ll beat Fulham but Brentford isn’t straightforward and they’ve been poor away from home at times and have Leicester and Villa away still. I think we’ll be fine but the longer Liverpool hang around it’s natural for people to get nervous. Beat Arsenal and it’s almost done and dusted to be fair.

I think we’ll be fine but the longer Liverpool hang around it’s natural for people to get nervous. Beat Arsenal and it’s almost done and dusted to be fair. They play Villa at Anfield. Their two away games are Leicester and Southampton. I mean, I’m 100% sure they’re going to win every game. The question is simply can we pick up 7 points (ideally in the next 4 games so it doesn’t go to the last day). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Am I right in thinking a win at home to Leicester and away to Leeds, plus a draw anywhere else and its ours? I do think Liverpool will win every game till the end of the season, so we need to do our bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 7 points would do it, providing Brighton don’t win every single game (which they 100% won’t - they play City, us and Man Utd). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Longstaff being available for the run in is big for me too as he makes a huge difference in that midfield and gives the option of Joelinton in other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically beat Arsenal & Leeds and we just need a point from the final 3. Would be an amazing position to be in. I can see Liverpool winning all their games, but not massive wins. 11 less on GD, so 6pts could do it on GD if we don't get humped and Liverpool don't do any humping.

The Prophet Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) I'm still pretty confident Liverpool will drop points. The law of averages says they can't defend that badly for another five games and not drop points. That said they do carry more luck then any other side in the division.

1892er Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 We'd have to capitulate badly in the last games. Something I just don't see these players and EH doing. Our mentality is a different animal nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Some of my best experiences were following Toon in Europe. Zulte Waregem in Gent in 2007 was fantastic. What a day that was. Bruges in 2012 was incredible. We took over the whole square. Local police said there were 12,000 Toon over. Absolutely hyped for more European football next season.
