Handed goals to arsenal and utd in the 2 away games and terrible set piece goal conceded against city at anfield, Allison slicing his kick out in the air for city's goal in the away game. Uncharacteristic stuff that could prove costly in the end.
Was thinking about this thread in the last few days. Caceido hasn't done much, while Endo has been a revelation. We over achieved when we were without Alisson, Trent, Matip, Robertson, Bajcetic, Thiago, Jones, Salah, Jota. The solution to the problems? Klopp.
Still believe its there for us. Few players coming back just at the right time, Arsenal and City having tough European games to deal with. Roll on the next 6 weeks its gonna be some ride
I think if we won our last 6 , it would be enough. A massive ask obviously given our current form in front of goals. Might be either too optimistic or delusional but think there is a slip up in city. Looking at their next 2 fixtures, they have Brighton away up next who have 12 days rest (hard to know if positive or negative) and Forest away after that. Forest have Everton next weekend and if Forest were to lose that, they would be badly in need of some points. Hopefully their crowd are up for it as much as they were against us a few weeks ago. As they say, not over till it’s over and still plenty to play for.
We also need Arsenal to slip up. We should be finishing the season strong but we look like we look like we've run out of steam. More games is not going to change that. It was in our hands and but we couldn't hold on. Game over, man. Game over.
Based on what we have seen lately we need to regroup, draw a line under what's gone on the last 5 weeks and go again. I can't see us win the League but if they did it would be up there with the greatest achievements of the Club. There's been a lot of talk of how good a squad Klopp is leaving us with but I think it is overhyped. No player who left was any better than they were under Klopp, in fact they were a lot worse. I fear it might be the same for this group of players. Klopp made them more than the sum of their parts, they overperformed to get us where we are now but looks like they've run out of steam. Can see Arsenal dropping more points but can also see us dropping more points.
The killer is I can't see City dropping points in any of their games and they're the ones in the driving seat now.
Arsenal have surprised me so far on this run in, I really thought they'd have dropped away but they look like they're going to run it right down to the wire. It's probably best for us to have 2 teams in the hunt as it keeps as much pressure on City as possible even if it proves fruitless in the end.
If Arsenal beat spurs sunday and with the goal difference I can't see us finishing ahead of them. Bournemouth United and Everton left after sunday. They win them handy IMO.
