Top 4 finish (four out of 6)

[Fierce]

So we need a draw at Brighton to secure 4th, but a win could see us take 3rd?

[Fuzzy]

If Spurs draw at home to Leicester.

[Snigger]

Either way no more play offs for CL so only difference is on the income.

I think that we would have had 3rd place tied up now and have been battling man utd for 2nd were it not for our CL run, even with the injuries we have. Our current team is IMO 2nd best in the league. But the squad is lacking quality when first teamers are out and we don't have the numbers to cope with 2 games a week.

We have the best manager. In terms of quality of football, we've been pushing City (I don't necessarily think we have the second best team, but we are getting there). Utd do have a better squad (strength in depth). We've lost 5 games - City, Utd, Spurs, Chelsea.... and Swansea (we also failed to beat Utd and Spurs).

Lemar has been fairly average of late

Southampton should be all over him

Then we can use our special payment system when he's proven himself.

A big thank you to Conte for resting his best players in a must win game

What a silly ****! He just gave us the option of a draw.

Clearly he's wants a trophy and doesn't give a **** about Chelsea's CL qualification!

[Helios Creed]

Agreed

Our squad was thin anyway and with injuries picked up (and the sale of Coutinho) its thinner

We also look physically knackered and to me its been telling that when it gets to 60-70 minutes in the last few months we have dropped off the pace. A few times it hasnt affected the result

We've had a weeks rest and it would be nice to think that was enough but my feeling is come 70 minutes we will be running on fumes again and without the ability to make changes theres always that risk as with West Brom & Roma that we will concede

I said a few weeks back that despite many of us thinking the defence needs addressing again, the midfield and forward positions look equally if not more in need of an injection of bodies as the current back up players arent anywhere near the quality required. I wouldnt be adverse to Klopp spending the vast bulk of his money on forwards and attacking midfielders again

Our game is all about pace and pressing/work rate and with no options on the bench and a tired squad, the work rate drops. We are also screwed if someone gets sent off. We don't have a less energetic Plan B.. Hopefully we win on Sunday and then are refreshed for the final.

Lawro got the top 4 right but had us unbeaten

Pedantic but we can still finish ahead of Spurs.

[RedReet]

2nd and 3rd on 97 points.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

To be fair, that's based on a game by game basis and not a prediction of the table pre-season.

It goes to show how good City have been that they're still likely to beat 99 points

Is it mathematically possible for the top 4 to only lose 3 times between them? My brain hurts trying to work it out

You can't play yourself!

Yeah definitely, why not? Highly ****ing unlikely of course
