    To be fair - this performance is no different to the last couple. The difference is, we got what we deserved.

    There is nothing special about Palace. They are fighting relegation. They are no Chelsea or City. When teams come to defend, we have no solution.

    We are now under huge psychological pressure for the last few matches. Watford luckily are not fighting relegation and should be easier for us.

    We may need 8 points or more. This defeat will cause even more damage than points lost if it has a big effect on our team's morale.

    Precisely. We were cack in the first half against Stoke, but they're pants too, and Ford and Firmino got us out of jail. Against West Brom we were equally dire, but they were somehow worse than Stoke. Even then, they contrived to miss a gilt-edged opportunity at the end that would have seen them earn a point. The ****ing cows came home today, with the the roosting chickens and the bastard Provident debt-collector - has Jurgen blamed injuries yet?

    Benteke could only prove his point because we hand him his chances on a plate. At 1-0 up, we should be tight....play a less expansive game.....not be cut open with one pass.

    A sh*t defence will never win the league. It'll struggle to get us top four ffs.

    And don't get me started at the lack of pace. Lol

    Can't wait to see Lovren up against even a half-interested Troy Deeney. Oh wait, yes I can....:emoticon-0107-sweat

    I want Lovren gone in the summer, he's ****. The odd good game doesn't cut it. He's flaky and he's rubbish.

    We've blown it now.

    Utd are in full flow and frankly I'd back them to pass us despite who they play.

    City are a bit **** at the bavk but have blown the lesser sides away lately and the one hope we will have is utd do them Thursday now.

    The harsh reality is city can pass us out with one win in two games in hand and utd need a win and draw.

    4th is now out of our hands due to poor concentration and ability to take good positions. We are now in the **** and only others **** ups can help us.

    Not surprising. I called it as the crucial game and klopp clearly outlined it as such asking for crowd to help the team.

    Looks like 5th now.... we really need city to beat utd well Thursday to stop that and for all our remaining opponents to basically not care anymore.

    Does anyone here think utd on a roll are going to be stopped by city who just ****ed it v Arsenal?

    I don't see a utd win helping us as even if they do all it means is city can still take 4th off us.

    About all we can hope for now is 4 wins and city beat utd.

    Sorry about that, girl. A double bereavement if you count our CL chances then. <rose>

    Jurgen said in the post match interview that we dominated Palace.

    Ehh? We may have had 80% possession and pass theball across the park and tried to penetrate but we had fewer shots on target than Palace.

    I will get worried if Klopp is starting to put a rosy gloss on a performance when none can be seen or deserved.

    Still think 3 more wins is enough to get top 4. Annoyingly, we've dropped 5 points just froM Bournemouth and palace at home.

    How can we not dominate and punish these **** teams at home?

    Our attack needs to boosting but emphasis has to be on defence and midfield this summer.

    Cheers, donga. Best man at our wedding and my husband's best mate died of bowel cancer a fortnight ago. Went to his funeral yesterday. Been awful. My poor fella's heartbroken and I've been crying a lot.

    Only if we don't drop any more points, and I wouldn't bank on that. Soton pissed on us in two LC legs, and even if 'Boro have nothing to play for I can see them wanting to put a show on for their loyal fans. Even Watford, with the deckchairs out and all, will at least put themselves about to see what happens. ****, even Andy Carroll might be up for a few crosses against that back four.

    Everyone is blaming the defenders i blame the system as the primary fault. We leave big holes exacerbated by the the fact there is a clear instruction to the defenders to step in and win the ball.
    better defenders would help but if you don't have organisation and a relevant system for them you will struggle.
    see Souness & Evans teams for confirmation.

    PS **** **** ****itty bollocks

    Very sorry for you both. Take care babe. I'm going now as you've just reminded me that there's worse things than Lovren and Can. Think I'll walk the dog - lovely, lovely evening here in York. Just know I'm going to bump into my United-supporting next door neighbour and his boxer though...

    Look at that squad! Even with their multiple injuries the mancs can put out a competitive side. When we rely on teenage academy players to dig us out of the ****, we know we are in trouble.

    Yeah we will probably as we look a goal a game max right now.

    The only thing in our favour is none of these sides will have a thing to play for by the time we meet.

    Watford and West ham can destroy us easy though like palace today but so could West brom so....it's really down to desire.

    The issue is looking purely at form... city have anot average run in. Utd is their hardest game and after that... well they might draw a couple I suppose.

    Utd was hardest but now you look at it and say jesus they have the form to take city and arsenal min and prob then can afford a draw with spurs. It's in their hands now.... if they do that nothing we can do will stop them.

    All we can do now is hope.
