  1. 1. How likely are we to finish top four this season? 0 = nee chance, 5 = can’t call it, 10 = nailed on marra

This is ideal IMO.

 

This team needs to be forged in fire and have the experience of leading, having pressure and winning with our destiny in our own hands.

 

One day we could be in Arsenal's shoes, with Man City breathing down our necks - and this kind of experience could be helpful. Even if the equivalent is the refs escorting Liverpool into our wake this year [emoji38]

I was on about the other day 🙂 You are getting worried… 😆

I’m not worried just an acknowledging the risk.  Liverpool are legit a medium risk and could go near perfect.  European and cup football was killing their squad. 
 

But I’ve maintained since the Brentford game that we will comfortably get enough points to secure top 4 regardless of the form of others. We face 4 genuinely bad teams, unless Frank is sacked Chelsea are another bad team.  And then Arsenal and Brighton at home. We could get 16 points and finish 3rd.

I think if we win tomorrow night and beat Saints on Sunday it’s almost put to bed this week.

Just saw this on redcafe's top 4 thread:

 

Spurs were done last weekend and Brighton are done today.

And if the Scousers put together a run to finish 5th or 6th, it will be fecking perfect. Thursday night football for all those magical Anfield European nights.

 

:lol:

I'm with TCD on this one.

 

Liverpool can't be discounted, but they've given themselves a lot of work to do. Their best run this season has been four wins in a row and they look incredibly shaky at the back.

 

Even if they if they defy this season's inconsistent form and put up 72 points, they're counting on us to drop another eight points.

 

I think both sides will drop points in the remaining games when we least expect it.

We win our next 2 we are 12 points clear of them before they kick off against spurs. That would be massive.

 

On top of that, we'd only need 2 more wins from 5 with 2 home games and Leeds away to come. Even a point tomorrow isn't a disaster imo, think we'll win at least 3 home games and beat Leeds away.

They are nervous. Being out of the title race and a morale boosting win against Chelsea might bring them back to their normal level. 
 

Or they could just collapse.  

Agreed, they may have been more vulnerable for the taking if they were still in the mix. But by the time they play us they could be completely out of it and might be relaxed to play a good game. 

 

Or....they will be completely broken and go on a horrendous run.

Think Arsenal are done now. There for the taking for the rest of the season.


The manner of that defeat will be hard to take, complete non-contest. They have a derby v Chelsea on Tuesday then us. St James will be fully radged up again and I don’t rate that Holding at the back for them, he changes their whole play.

Aye. Confidence aside they are so weak with Holding and Gabriel as their defensive 2. Was it them 2 last season?

The biggest threat is the refs, it’s been proven again tonight they are doing everything to help Liverpool.

 

Expect serious refball in our next few and hope like vs Brentford and Forest we can overcome it.

Injuries permitting that is. 


That’s the thing. A Bruno injury (and by all accounts he’s nursing an ankle knock) means draws or worse instead of wins. Until Liverpool drop points I’ll worry.
