Next 5 League games...

[Darkon]

Finishing 4th in the league or having a glory night in Europe by winning the Europa League...

I know which I'd prefer...

Ideally yes, I'd rather have the EL trophy and 5th/6th right now, but looking at it realistically right now I reckon we have a better chance of 4th hence why I think we should prioritize that way. FA Cup and fourth would do me quite well

Looking at our limited squad ability wise right now, we need to rest somewhere, and I think the league would be the wrong place to do so right now.

If you refer to it as the UEFA Cup then you feel much better about yourself wanting to win the thing.

I think now everybody is up to speed and we have a settled formation, our squad is pretty strong.

I fancy us to smash Man Utd next time we meet.

Owe them a good going over...similar to what we did to Arsenal last year!

10 From West Ham, Everton, Spurs and Southampton is a pretty brilliant haul, especially given we've had Europe, an fa cup replay and an exhausting 120 min game at Stamford Bridge in between all those too.

Yup, that is not an easy run of games at all. All teams that in and around us in the league and a local Derby.

I'm sure Carra said the other day we've only lost 4 games from Jan onwards since Rodgers has been in charge.

[BigChief]

Excellent haul, just what we needed to put the sh*ts up everyone around us. Now to home in on that 3rd/4th spot proper.

My one worry is some of our players are beginning to look mentally jaded. Hendo, Can, Markovic. We could really do with Lucas and Sakho back asap.

**** it, let's take a look at the next five league games (up to the 11th game of the season) -

Chelsea (A)
Man City (H)
Huddersfield (A)
Cardiff (H)
Arsenal (A)

So going on the assumption that all other rival games are a draw (e.g. Spurs vs Man City) and we draw against Chelsea and City but beat Huddersfield, Cardiff and Arsenal, we'll be 2 points ahead of Chelsea and Man City after 11 games.

I think we can beat Chelsea, Huddersfield, Cardiff and Arsenal but we'll get a draw against City. 13 out of 15 points is excellent for me.

How do you see this panning out?

I don't buy into this jinxing bollocks, contribute or ignore.

Touchy ****er

[Charly]

If we get 13 out of 15 we will win the league.

How do you see this panning out?

If you looked at each game in isolation, you'd fancy us to take 3 points in each of them. It's just hard to imagine there won't be a slip up somewhere along the way.

Chelsea- Not convinced by them. If it was at Anfield, I'd be expecting a comfortable win. Salah could have a field day against Alonso if Sarri doesn't play Kante deeper to help him out.

City- Record terrible against at Anfield, lost last 6 and very rarely win here. Guardiola fears us and fears Klopp, so that has to give us a psychological edge. Anfield will be buzzing and in a fair contest (no dodgy officiating) I expect us to win.

Huddersfield- Expected Wagner to give us a tough test last year with his inside knowledge on Klopp. If Klopp was United manager, I'd have accused Wagner of rolling over for his mate and upping his game against their rivals. An easy 3 points surely.

Cardiff- 3 points.

Arsenal- If we played them tomorrow, it would be a banker 3 points. Emery might have stumbled onto a winning formula by our match though and make things tricky. Hopefully he's still trying to turn Cech into Alisson when we arrive.

Verdict- 15 points.
