There is little chance of Liverpool missing out on top 4 in my view. I just don't see either Arsenal or Man Utd winning 4 or 5 games in a row and pressurizing then.

Man Utd have much better chance in the Europa league where draws are less damaging .

Funnily enough, i can see Arsenal winning enough games. It's what they tend to do end of season.

Tho if they do that, i don't think it'll be Liverpool who miss out, i reckon it'll be city.... or at least, that's how I saw it till Mane got injured. It's all that bit tighter now.

The Championship truly is a tinpot league.

LFC without Mane are a laff.

I apologise Liverpool fans as everytime I declare any certainty about Liverpool they have a poor result. Interesting that Arsenal will overtake city and (probably) Liverpool if they win their games in hand. Nothing I have seen from Arsenal this season suggests they will, other than as you say they do every season!

[Wooderson]

LFC will bottle it.

Keith Stroud and his team have put out a statement acknowledging their mistake. Blimey, not often that happens. 

[ThomThomDrum]

Liverpool dropping those points tonight is typical pool this season.

Good midweek for Arsenal in the end. Would have been better had Spurs not had their comeback.

I certainly am beginning to struggle to come up with a scenario where Spurs mess it up like usual, it's obviously going to happen still but I'm just not sure what the catalyst for it will be... 

[eastynh]

City are strange as hell. Been far better than Chelsea in the 2 games yet managed to lose both some how. 

I will reserve judgement on Pep till after next season. The defence he inherited is nothing short of shambolic. Yet his decisions are utterly baffling. At present though he has not impressed me this season.

Good to see Kompany back. As predicted Jesus is back for easter. We have all the top teams out the way now so should secure a top 4 place and a cup semi final to look forward to.

Big summer ahead for Pep and he has it all to prove.

even with Mane I doubt last night's result would be different. It wasn't at that end of the pitch that were the issues for Liverpool last night.

Still, other results in the midweek games means it's not a worry, yet.

The stat that LFC have conceded more goals than Boro has put me off my cornflakes.

Not as bad as Bournemouth scoring more league goals than united.

Klopp is like that guy/woman in the office who joins the fantasy football league and just picks players they have heard of. Best record against the top 7 because he sets his team up to play against them, he did a fantastic job of shutting out Lukaku and Harry Kane. Its almost if against teams such as Hull or Bournemouth he's going meh? never heard of them.

He doesnt have the players or squad to deal with teams that are happy with a point.

Far better in both games? Really?

[The Nal]

Boro and Sunderland done then. West Ham right in the shit now.

Dunno? Coutinho seems creative enough for me to break down stubborn defenses. It was more a point though that he definitely changes his tactics against the top teams. He dropped Lucas back and put him and another midfielder on Kane as far as I remember and it worked a treat.

Don't see how. 2 draws and we're safe. 

I would laugh were we to drop though - it might do Brady's waistline the world of good.

Its the eternal gadfly being an LFC fan. Beat all around you near the top and lose against Swans, 'Ull, Burnleh, Bournemouth. Gash.

Owners need to spend a few quid and get rid of the 17 year olds off the bench.

Safe on 35 points? 5 defeats in a row? Playing Swansea next and Palace have a game in hand?

Defo need to spend a few quid but that doesn't always work as we've seen at Utd. Assume they'll open the cheque book with a Champo League qualification though? 

Right?

Palace still have to play Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Man City, and Man United. 

There is only one relegation place 'up for grabs'

They win so! Hammers could be safe now going on those fixtures. 

Assume everyone around the globe wants to see Sam go down.
