ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[davek]

4 of cities next 6 are at home mate, only an away trip to watford and boro, can't see them drpping points in any besides the manc derby really

United are strange, rashford and martial have really given them a new impetus up front, thought theyd draw at best vs burnley, the way they handled that game is ominous for the rest

City, Spurs, Southampton and arsenal away for United looks tough though.

 

[maccavennie]

Suarez, Coutinho, Mane, Sturridge, Lallana.

Saurez - no one else wanted do touch him with a barge pole as he'd already been down for biting
Coutinho- great singing for 8m. A player with potential, a great player he was not.
Sturridge - lol greedy beaut left City for dollar, was barely used at Chelsea and the rs took a punt for 12m
Mane - great signing
Lallana - I'd say this season is the first time he's looked like a player worth anywhere near 25m. Good player. Great player though? nope.

You sure do like Liverpool though mate that is for certain.

True Dave, but I thought Burnley would be as well.

 

[Wat Tyler]

City win in midweek will do. Need Liverpool finishing 4th and United winning the Europa League in my life. My heroin.

They'd both be in the CL.

 

[Chunky Frankfurter]

Dortmund fu wished 7th on 46 points klopps last season, year after 2nd on 78 points, this season 3rd on 56 points with 4 games left. Yeah mate they fell off a cliff after he left lol

He won two German Leagues in a row, spending much less than Bayern and finished second twice. A German cup and some super cups, runners up in Champions League.

Dortmund fans still worship him.

Why ? r/s would still go in CL

 

[MikeH72]

Why ? r/s would still go in CL

Spurs finished 4th in 2012 didn't they, and didn't get in because Chelsea won the CL. Isn't it the same for EL now that the winners get CL?

 

[The Rhino]

City, Spurs, Southampton and arsenal away for United looks tough though.

That's what will do it for them. Can only see them getting wins at Southampton and maybe Arsenal. Realistically I can see them:

City- draw
Spurs- loss
Saints- win
Arsenal- draw

If you factor in 2 of those being games in hand I can just see Liverpool pipping them by about a point or 2. That's why Watford have to atleast hold them to a draw imo if Utd have chance of nicking 4th. Ibra is a big miss

 

[Chunky Frankfurter]

Sturridge is finished, mane is injured, lallana is a crock and coutinho wants to go barca

That's not the point. We're talking about great signings. Would you turn down those players for us in the last ten years?

Mane is injured, for now, but had a very good season and in team of the year. Lallana isn't a crock and Coutinho may want to go to Barca but was still a great signing. He'll also still be there next season.

 

[paultheblue]

he had a nightmare last season with Dortmund where they were in the relegation places for half of a season. He ain't won anything with the rs yet and if he doesn't next season I think he'll be under severe pressure. the fans have to blame someone so it's either they try and get rid of the owners ( again ) or get rid of the manager.

I'd also say Conte, Poch will show themselves as better managers and Pep, Jose and Wenger have shown time and HD again and will do again that they are better managers and given another couple of seasons I think Koeman will prove to be the better manager.

Just my opinion of course as an Evertonian and lover of togger

It must be terribly confusing for the poor souls being the greatest team in the world they aren't supposed to lose football matches.
I'm filling up for them here

I'm crying and shaking mate, crying and shaking.

still same deal with CL winner i.e. if Leicester had won it then 4th would lose their spot & go into europa.

if United win Europa then they go into CL & if outside of top 4 we have 5 in it, however if they win it & finish in a Europa position then we lose 1 of the europa entrants i.e it doesnt go to 8th place

You sure do like Liverpool though mate that is for certain.

But you wouldn't turn any of them down at Everton, eh?

 

[4737carlin]

Might go to the last game with Arsenal needing to win to pip them to 4th

 

[mccole]

Lpool's run in is the weakest but it those teams that turn up and do them.

Lpool have 66pts with City - 2 games in hand (64pts) United - 2 games (63pts) and Arsenal (57pts) 3 games.

4th isn't their just yet.
