Klopp saying after the game we'll finish in the top 4 if we deserve it. What sort of defeatist BS is that?

He's basically saying if the boys step up to the challenge then they'll get into top 4 and deservedly so, otherwise they don't deserve it, as it should be.

I'm with Klopp on that one, they're not desperately hungry for success and validation anymore, now it's more about sustaining this level.

If it looks like this group can't do that then he'll rebuild in the summer.

Yeah he's basically just stating a fact really. Your league position after 38 games is really the end result of what you deserve. I think a rebuild of some order is on the cards.

[Morbius]

At this rate we'll be lucky to get into the Europa League, could be the new fangled Conference League, imagine the ignominy of that

Away days in Malta and Iceland here we come!

Bring back the Intertoto Cup?...

Said it before and I'll say it again... Missing Europe totally would be a blessing when LFC are trying to recover from this. Thursday night football is something they don't need

Leicester won the league in 2016 with no Europe iirc

I'm not disputing the accuracy of the statement as much as why say it at all.

It was more the c'est la vie attitude I have a problem with.

Can't we cut the horse toothed genius a bit of slack by remembering English isn't his native language Pat... Go on... Let him off

Depends how the season ends

Admittedly, I don't have a clue about football, but do enjoy watching it. But this topic has certainly provided some fantastic knowledge over the past week, or so, captivating indeed.

[Morbius]

Fascinating finish now for the top four after Chelsea winning at the London. Chelsea have the tougher run in on paper with West hams appearing the easiest. What a massive game the United match becomes for Liverpool now. Lose that and I think top four has finally gone

Kai you did me like a kipper, I wouldn't be shocked if your devious Dr Evil type mind planned the whole thing based on the Harry Kane rumours just to catch some poor sod who was too impatient to click the link

I'm glad Villarreal did Dinamo now

Oomph that's below the belt!

Ouch, this really hurts my man-feelings. This was supposed to be our year

I'm not Dr Evil but you got off easy there, Dallas is still trying to get back at me for making him Google about Women With Physical Disabilities.

But if and when my evil plan for world domination takes effect, you'll be among the first to pay the piper, whatever the hell that idiom means

Do I detect a slight you not digging my sense of humour and that I wasn't ACTUALLY calling you evil

Was just saying there are far worse pranks than disguising a Youtube link with a BBC one.

Idk what I'm saying half the time, just the first silly thing that comes to mind usually

[Trader Pat]

I have the sound off on the tv and when I glanced up Jamie Redknapp, MIcah Richards and some other bloke are chatting away, I just know they're talking rubbish....

Does that make me telepathic?!

After the drudge of Man U v Leeds I hope the cup final is as good as the budgets of these two teams suggests.
Oh dear, if thats not a jinx, I don't know what is.
Anyway. Fingers crossed.

[greenmark]

What a joy to hear real fans in the stadium. I imagine if/when we get back to full capacity its going to be bouncing. Can't wait

[Kai]

Hopefully Spurs can pull it off, anything is possible with Kane and Son on the pitch.

Not looking great though, is it?
Foden is a pest and sterling looks pretty motivated. City lucky to still have 11 on the pitch though. Strange refereeing decision on Laporte/Moura.

[greenmark]

This is looking like extra time. Rats!
