The Race for the Top 4 2017

FFS. If Mane had been more available than he had been this 'race' would have been a cake walk.

Every team in our situation can moan about similar. I agree we've had more than our share of niggles & long term injuries though

The Race for the Top 4 2017

Fantastic weekend so far. It's in our hands again.

I hope we don't screw it up.

I so much want 3rd place.

The qualifiers you need to go through with 4th really mess up preseason.

[Fredo]

It's not been a fantastic week end just yet. To make it so, we need to win tomorrow.

[Myo]

It's in our farkin hands lads! Let's not screw this up! Game on!

[BigChief]

Chelsea and City have been utter cnuts. At least City are in the **** too now. Hope Spurs win the league and City draw with Middlesborough next.

City have got themelves to blame for not putting Utd away. Next they have a re-determined Palace who (themselves being cnuts) have got themselves right back into relegation **** thanks to living off the victory against us for the past week.

Listen to the newly-minted Dejan. He will assuage all fears.

Dejan Lovren insists there is no shortage of motivation in the Liverpool dressing room ahead of the run-in, declaring: "It's the final four games for the Champions League."

He told Liverpoolfc.com: "We are focused on our style of the game – we want to attack, we want to score goals, we have something to reach for.

"Mentally, we have to be prepared for the game, even though it's not like playing Manchester City, where you will find motivation without any big reason.

"We have a big reason – it's the final four games for the Champions League."

For Lovren, though, the only important thing is how the Reds approach the game.

"It depends on us, I would say, not on them. We have something to play for, but not so much them," he added.

"For them, it is comfortable and they are safe, but we have something to reach for and this is the key point. We know what we need to do to grab a place in the Champions League.

"It is a must-win game. Of course, it will be difficult – they are in the middle of the table, have done quite well, have good players and don't have pressure.

"But sometimes with pressure it can maybe be better to play because you're more focused on the game."

"I always believe. I believe in the team and I believe in every single person who believes in us," he continued. "This is the most important thing.

"I think we would deserve it at the end because of how well we've done for all of the season. I am pretty sure we will see each other in the Champions League."

What's your prediction mystic fredo?

[Kenneth]

We need to see some real signs of motivation on the pitch tomorrow after the results today. Dropping points is one thing but a lethargic performance would not be acceptable.

Christ Dejan shut the **** up. What is it with our players are their dumb ass interviews - Lovren and Lallana in particular.

I'd prefer he do his positive talking on the pitch.

It would be great to get back to banging in a few goals in a game again. Remind a few people of what we are capable of and put some psychological pressure on City. At least we have hit something to play for in the run in. Long term I'll view this season as one of wasted opportunity and lack of ambition from the owners again

I think we will. Can see us stuffing Watford and kicking on from here.

What's he on about? He's overthinking this already, I sense a clanger coming up.

Why?

[dizzycat]

Same as under our good season under Rodgers, a single decent player or two in January could have made a massive difference.
