    If we don't get at least one win from our last 6 games then we will deserve to go down but I don't think it will happen.

    You never meet a poor bookie.

    Look at our odds and Fulham’s odds.

    Until it’s mathematically impossible, it’s possible. End of.

    Fulham will have to win 4/5, having won 4/33. We might lose most of our remaining games, but Fulham aren't going to double their wins for the season in 5 games.

    We need to play both halves, just the once.

    Leicester won 7 of their last 9 to stay up in 14/15.

    This match should be about 5-3.

    Defending has been dreadful. Finishing has been even worse.

    Liverpool have to sack Klopp. Tactically clueless.

    That’s right, isn’t it?

    West Ham has been handed an incredible opportunity here. Beat Chelsea today and they'll have an excellent chance of making CL, particularly as Chelsea has a massive fixture pileup between the CL semis and the FA Cup.

    If Liverpool finish in 6th in the league and fail to qualify for Europe next season and well as not picking up any other domestic silverware, does this this make Klopp Liverpool's worst manager in recent years ? The demise of Liverpool this season has been very enjoyable but I always felt last season's success was more akin to Leicester City's than anything permanent.

    The manager who won their first league title in 30 years alongside a European cup is their worst manager in recent years?

    I'm going to say no to that one. Think you massively underplay how good they've been for the past two seasons prior to this one.

    I was very much being tongue in cheek.

    I was being ironic.

    Enjoy Liverpool's demise whilst you can.

    Yeah, it's a bit tough to blame Klopp for the bit where they've played half the season without their top four CBs.

    Though at the same time, I've little sympathy for a club of those resources choosing to start a season with just 3 senior CB's. Especially when two of those (Matip and Gomez) have shown themselves to be injury prone.

    Definitely, though Klopp made noises about wanting a CB over the summer...he just didn't get one.

    Do we/should we care about Sheffield Utd v Brighton, tonight? If Brighton don't win, they will remain below us, but are we sufficiently far above both Fulham and WBA not to worry about relegation?
