We haven’t seen football this lacking in any sort of cohesion or energy since the Owl

We could be third

I think back to how late the goals were in the (possible mistakes incoming) Fulham and Leeds games - think those were 96th and 97th minute concessions, with both matches turning from wins into draws.

Those 4 extra points we could have would be really bloody useful just now.

C'est la vie.

Yeah it stings we dropped a few having Marma in goal in place of Alisson too despite ppl knocking the best keeper we’ve ever had

After 30 games played -

Distance from 1st - 21 points (we were 19 off, with Arsenal having played an extra game, so 2 points worse off) - a pretty disconcerting gap. For context, Houllier was replaced by Benitez for finishing 30 points behind the eventual League winners.

Distance from 4th and 5th - 2 points behind Villa in 4th (we're a point better off, though no celebrating it) and we ourselves are 5th - 6 points separate 3rd from 6th, up from a 3-point gap between the cluster.

Distance ahead of 6th - we are somehow a point above Chelsea - it's hard to believe they're worse than us. A win for Brentford v Wolves would take them within 2 points of us, so they may have a late chance of a Champion's League spot if the likes of ourselves, Chelsea and Villa continue to splutter.

Indeed, unless things are rescheduled, our last 4 League games are European make-or-break games, with us due to play Man United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brentford back-to-back in something we may end up calling "Monstrous May" depending on how it goes.....

This was a week that will be remembered for a dire performance against Tottenham and a failure to find ourselves level with Villa and 3 points off third. A huge opportunity wasted and boos at Anfield, heaping further pressure onto the Galatasaray fixture, the away game against Brighton and the away trip to the Etihad for an FA Cup quarter-final against Pep Guardiola's Death Stars.

Slot has to go 433 now and make minimal changes and get the press and counter press and shake and patterns back and get in some form
