  4. What pisses me off is that WBA will get relegated anyway, and we've lost to them for nothing!

    We really need Chavs to beat 'Pool tomorrow.

    Absolutely embarrassing performance. Poch ****ed it big time with that formation.

    BobbyD and Hoddle is a god like this.
  6. We've got Newcastle and Leicester (both home games) to come.

    We need to win both to ensure 3rd spot (assuming 'Pool lose tomorrow).

    You want to lose 4th?

  9. We could have gone third in the table, and we bottled it.

    Sure, we not quite in the same "bottle" league as Arsenal, but we still bottled it, today.

  11. Of course not.

    It's a risk, I know, but I think we should be going for that 3rd spot.

    Pochettino completely ****ed this one.
    Why switch to a more defensive set-up against a side that's always going to sit back?
    Kane's still not fit and he's getting picked every week anyway, so it's like playing with 10 men.
    Awful performance.

    Top 4 is comfortable for you. You have a guaranteed 3 points and will rack up your goal difference next weekend!

  14. Poch is obviously playing Kane (probably at Kane's insistence) in order to give him a chance at the Golden Boot.

    But it's not working, because Kane simply isn't fit enough, and he really needs to be rested.

    Poch needs to be big enough to bench Kane and make it clear to him that he's not playing him because (a) he's not properly fit, and (b) the team is more important than Kane's 3rd successive Golden Boot.

  15. Agreed.

    I think we are safe for 4th.

    But I'd be pissed off if we don't get 3rd.

    He's not going to get it anyway, because he's injured. It's not even subtle.

    If you were playing anyone but us I’d worry you’d even get 4th. You’re lucky you have the easiest fixture going so be happy with that

    Yeah I wouldn't be too sure about that, mate.

    But if Chelsea beat us all we need need is to beat Brighton.

    You're better off wanting us to beat Chelsea mate.

    Liverpool need 3 points for guaranteed CL football, assuming Chelsea win all their games.
