Decky Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Today's result doesn't help my confidence like. If Klopp has gotten a tune out of Liverpool again we won't get 4th and will probably be a good few points off it. Its sad but when Liverpool are like this they can win every single game. I'd hardly be expecting us to catch Man Utd. All we can do is win our own games and push them both though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as we get a player like that which we will at some point, we're laughing. True, to an extent. Bit of a gulf between attracting a player like that mind and trying to survive half a season with 2 strikers, one of whom is hopelessly out of form and fitness and the other desperately needing time and games to acclimatise.

Optimistically though, if this is Liverpool's form turning a corner, it could just as well mean that Man United's will too in the other direction - their form has relied on some pretty once-in-a-lifetime form from Rashford.

Liverpool have been like this all season tbf; beat Man City, score 7 away at Rangers then lose to Forest. Lose 3-1 and 3-0 to Brentford and Brighton after 5 straight wins. Been unpredictable all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FA Cup is won by a team that doesn't qualify for Europe then yes. If the FA Cup is won by a team that does qualify for Europe then it's Europa League.

Geogaddi Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) We don’t want that conference league bollocks like, if we aren’t getting 4th or Europa League we are better off finishing like 8th or whatever it is that means missing that daft competition.

Given our form this year it'd be a massive ask of us to close the 8 point gap on Man Utd and go on to finish above them. If it happens though fucking brilliant.

If one of the Manchester clubs wins the FA Cup (which is likely…) then 5th and 6th are EL and 7th is ECL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 As much as I'd love Brighton to win the FA Cup, we really want a top 5 team to do it to make 6th a EL spot instead of that Conference League shit. Even that though will move to 7th then won't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Conference League. Could get to the latter stages without playing our strongest team, would be a chance to boost our UEFA coefficient, would get us into the routine of having extra games, would be very winnable.

Aye, you could get to the last 8 of this with your eyes closed. Top 4 is still on like. Massively. There's no way we can go 14 more games having this many chances and not scoring it's just not possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have visions of him having a Papiss Cisse like end to the season from his next start and qualifying for the CL on the final day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'd take Conference League over nothing. We don't know what way the season is gonna go next year. We could be a bit off and sitting around 8th or 9th, or maybe the European spots stick to the top 5. CL could be our path to qualifying for the EL the season after next which could be important for our progression.

Jaqen Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 We can't be turning out noses up at any sort of European football like, it's not like we are Champions league regulars and winning trophies all the time.

TRon Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Ok coming down a bit now, I hadn't realised ManU are 8 pts ahead of us. Fuck, how did we let that happen? Still, any team that can lose a grudge match 7-0 must be vulnerable. Arre they just genuinely shite? This question must be asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tbh, our lot should take some heart from Liverpool's performance and general uptick. They looked hopeless about 5 weeks ago and were on their own barren run in front of goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
