We need Pool to beat United and City will then still officially need a point out of our game to wrap it up. Pool beating United also greatly increases our chances of finishing above the Not-so-special One.
blimey so your enemies enemy really is your friend after all . Strangely whilst we are keen on winning at the toilet your motives never crossed our minds . Personally think we may be quite cautious as it is more of a don't lose game rather than must win for us imo.
Nah, go and stuff them. There are three teams who play proper football this season, us, you and Citeh. Possibly 4, you might just include Brighton. Go and show Jose Fekking Bus Conductor how it should be done.
From our 2 games against them, I'd recommend going at them. Their central defenders and Matic don't have great pace and their full backs are really wingers. What Pogba is, I haven't worked out yet. Despite their record of goals against, defending isn't what they do best. You're better than them. Take it to them and I think you'll get a decent result.
i'd love us too but for all his reputation Klopp does sometimes go with a more cautious approach and I wouldn't be surprised if that is what we see. Having said that since Coutinho was sold we seem to be going with an approach of not being so gung ho and relying more on the front 3 with less support than previously and it's not like we've stopped scoring. PS deffo 4 if you include Swansea since "the happy one" took over
oh i hope so as i really really don't want to lose to that lot but like most footy fans i get a bit bipolar re my club and veer between "we are the best ever" & "you lot ain't fit to wear the shirt" . Think our fast break threat may be stifled somewhat as Jose probably saw Chelseas performance last night as irresponsibly cavalier.
Win all your home games + never lose away = 2 pts per game. Or 76 pts in total. That is usually adequate for a top 4 finish. Only the current top 4 are on target for that. So on that basis : 1. Man Utd need the 3 pts more than you do. 2. Play reasonably disciplined, but not so it kills your natural game like Chelsky did yesterday.
I said a while back you would be the team we won't catch. You have the easiest run-in on paper and while it hurts me to say it you've played the better football overall. We've reeled Chelsea in and now need to set our sights on United. If they lose to you and City we should be able to move above them - as long as we get good results against Chelsea and City. Personally I'd have indescribably more pleasure from finishing above United than above you. To finish above them, Arsenal and Chelsea would be magnificent.
cheers we can be great to watch ,particularly for a neutral ,but part of that is knowing that at any moment our defence may go AWOL Hopefully we are getting on top of that but far to early to be sure of that. Where as you are a more rounded team in the sense there are no obvious weak areas .
I hear the copy/paste keyboard sounds of the above going onto Sissockos' official social media accounts.
