Match Thread : Man Utd v Liverpool

[Crimson Dynasty]

We don't know that about Arsenal. City and us have Luton and Pakace at home before they face Villa next. They have never taken a race to the last day as some of our current squad did twice with City. Very determined display by them yesterday but they still have Spurs and Utd away. Their derby is as much of a lottery as our games with Utd and their record at Old Trafford is shite.

We still have Champions' League-chasing Spurs, the Blue shites (and you KNOW they'll show up for that one. Particularly if their Premier League survival depends on it, which it will) as well as Champions' League chasing Villa away on the last day.

Do you have confidence in us taking those 9 points after today's display?

[Crimson Dynasty]

If they do they will have won 18 of 19 or something, in which case you have to say "fair enough" even if it's through gritted teeth.

Still think they have a draw in them somewhere, particularly around the Champion's League fixtures.

All we can do is keep winning games. We have players coming back, which helps.

Arsenal won't have Jota in their final games.

Will we?

And even if we do, will he be fit enough to make a difference?

You've seen just how much Salah is so far out of form since his return from injury.
Robbo too.

Perspective!!

We've lost our advantage to a team that wasn't going to make top4.

Kind of like Man City (who are behind us) losing to Wolves?

It happens.

Arsenal and City are streaks ahead of us when it comes to quality on the pitch and tactical. We normally edge it with grit and determination… didn’t see any of that today.

I didn’t expect us to win the league at the start of the season and I don’t expect it now. CL qualification is sorted barring a catastrophe, league cup won, EL still a possibility. It’s not all doom and gloom.

[HLOGI]

That's the truth though isn't it. We are not as good as our position suggests. No one had us down for a title challenge this year and yet here we are. Still 7 games to go. Do I expect us to win the league, nó, because I don't think our squad is good enough.
But do we have a chance, yes. It's gonna be a nervy few weeks but at least we are joint top instead of fighting for 4th place like last year.

My sentiment as well. This is a beautiful plant surprise. So I am enjoying it for what it is. If they pull it off in my view one of the greatest achievements. These players just don't look world beaters but they don't lose games. So individually and collectively they have strong mentality. And Jurgen and his team of course. But I think psychologically many of those individuals just look like calm individuals. Don't know but maybe Liverpool have a strong psychological team. Look how Quansah didn't go to pieces after that mistake.

Glad you're keeping calm Sid it helps, just ask Quansah.

Curtis jones gives mainoo so much time for his goal

He wasn't fit to start, or frankly speaking, play in thsi game IMO.

Mainoo wouldn't have had that much time or freedom if that was Endo.

I understand the frustration with Endo on some of his play leading to his getting subbed out, but if he was still on the field, I strongly believe we are walking out of there with a 2-1 win.

We'll find out one way or the other very soon - only 6 weeks or so left.

Klopp has the option of Tsimikas or Gomez at left-back if Robertson doesn't look right. Salah still scoring and assisting even if he isn't at his best. Núñez assisted today too.

A Quansah error was costly, as was a lack of killer edge.

But we could have been down to 10 let's not forget - Kelleher dives for that Fernandes shot and almost reaches it, when he was outside the box - automatic red card and almost inevitable loss.

Its Arsenals hands now. lets see hope they cope

[Jenson78]

28 shots 7 on target, 12 shots off target. Pathetic. There is no way were going to win every remaining game, along with our worst goal difference.
Home to Palace Win, Away to Fulham Win, Away to Blue Noses Draw, Away to West Ham Lose, Home to Spurs Draw, Away to Villa Draw. Home to Wolves Win.
We will now finish third. Bottle Jobs Squad 2023/24 take a bow.
