Match Day Thread West Brom v Liverpool

8th is the new 1st

 

Ermmm no.

 

If we had won 3-2 sorry.

 

8th sucks a bit, but if we had finished 7th and had the last Europa place, it would have been the early qualification stage right?
Which would mess everything up with pre season tour, not being able to play home games till mid august etc

 

Yes - but if we win on Wednesday - which everyone seems desperate for us to do, hence the no interest in the last few games of the season and 'saving' players - doesn't that put us in the CL and hence the qualifying for that, so what's the difference?

Glad to see the back of that League season, it was crap for us overall with flashes here and there of positive vibes.

 

Bye Martin Skrtel. Good luck for the future.

 

7th enters Europa really early. Winning EL gets you into group stages if the CL winner is gauranteed a group stage via league position which both Madrid teams are n

 

Him and Bogdan, and sorry also Benteke. £32.5 million was a big ask and he hasn't lived up to it

 

And if we don't win we go into nothing, I suppose, or is this play-off idea with West Ham still on the cards?

 

Ffs this is chasing the silver lining in the extreme. A Europa place is a Europa place. It is a sign of improvement. Finishing 8th instead of 7th last year, is an improvement and a sign of progress? A league cup final? Don't think so.

 

None of it matters anyway. All comes down to Wednesday

 

Klopp: "The counter attack with Christian, not sure that he could pass, but from my POV he should. We could have won, but a deserved point."

Didn't see the game but this made me lol!!

 

The only sign of improvement is us not getting a 6-1 drubbing like we got last season, that and Lovren suddenly being kissed by the Gods and Allen suddenly becoming all that; Origi coming to the fore, Firmino coming to the fore, Sturridge (when he could be arsed) being class, but the pros outweigh the cons by a heavy margin and though it hasn't been all bad, it hasn't been all good, either.

Skrtel = ****; Mignolet = ****; Bogdan = ****; Lallana - average; Benteke - average; Hendo - average, and I'm sorry to say it but Coutinho has been mainly below par.

The **** have to go and they have to go now. The average might have a chance; God knows if Coutinho wants to stay, anyway.

 

And if we lose Wednesday, what then?

 

Who would take him?

 

We got to two finals with an absolutely dog ****e squad and a good manager gets to fill a bin....

 

Yup, all or bust. No play off thing

 

It has been a poor season - but there have been mitigating circumstances. We have plenty of reasons to go into the new season with a lot of optimism.

 

Roll on next season. It'll be our year. We'll ****ing smash'em!

 

Pulis: "Before the game people were talking about Liverpool playing their second team, but that team was worth £69 million."
