Just had a look at the current EPL table after this weekend's matches. 7 points separate Liverpool from 3rd place Saints; 5 points from 4th place United; 4 points from 5th place Spurs and 3 points from 6th place Gunners.

So keep the faith, Reds are still in the mix although it is going to be real tough but I believe Liverpool still have a chance.

Saying that, it now looks like the matches against Spurs and Saints are now 6 pointers for Liverpool, must game wins.

And that is rather worrying. We had been relying too much on these two. We needed Sterling's speed and Coutinho's trickery and vision. Everyone one of them Kena tackled and fall down in a heap my heart stops a beat. Hope they stay healthy for the rest of the season and BR has some kind of backup plan if Murphy's Law happens.

3rd and 4th will be a fight to the wire...I dun think is a failure if we ended up 5th or 6th...

now every game is important...look at Man City really miss Yaya Toure very much...he and David Silva is the dynamo of the team...

This season no team talk about being 1st and 2nd liao...
14 more games to play...

Still waiting for saints to drop off from CL spot.

yes...but if they keep winning then they deserve the spot...

Perhaps, but I think BR would still have to deliver a cup either FA or EC if the Reds fail to qualify for next season's CL, failing which I think the board may be under immense pressure to give BR the boot. This would be a pity because I think the present shape of this Liverpool team is slowly but surely coming together, just need another real sharp goal scoring striker, another proper defender and GK as well to complete this 'puzzle'.

fully agreed...if a team like MU dun qualify for CL then that is really a failure...a marquee coach...with expensive line up...

just look at Chelsea...keep virtually same line up and added Diego Costa and some utility player...see what happened to them...running away with the title...

Liverpool added too many players and took time to name best 11...so we are suffering beginning of season...

The owners have told BR that he needs to qualify for the champions league as a minimum requirement. Anything less than that is not acceptable . BR also knows that he needs to fight for the champions league spot if he wants to keep his job at Liverpool .

Having watch the Spurs Vs Arsenal game , I must say I am really impressed that the Spurs players are really on fire now. They are finally beginning to gel as a team. They kept a very tight midfield and love to press the opposing players a lot. There are 3 players that Liverpool need to look out for Kane ; Mason and Rose. Liverpool need to keep it tight and tidy and also play a pressing game. Hope the lads will continue to fight for 3 points.

1st and 2nd spot no need to think about it anymore. IF Liverpool can qualify for the Champions League will be a great boost. It is gonna to be a very tight race.

Fabregas aint no "utility player" bro, he is a top class AM facilitator. Personally cant stand Mourinho, but got to give him due credit. He sure knows how to buy top quality players who appear to seamlessly fit into his team from the get go. Cuadrado also looks to suit the bill as well. Also amazed at how Mourinho has assembled such a strong quality team while balancing Chelsea's financial books at the same time!

But i certainly agree with you on your take of United. LVG may have bitten more than he can chew this time?

Lucas set for spell out... so are we going to concede goals?
Kane is on form and high chance to score against pool

EC? Don't think pool can win it with a manager like this!

Lol...soton is just too consistent unlike pool managed by a genius ! even our star player RS also reluctant to put his sig on a contract ext!

[bochapsing]

Lucas is out. Bad news.
Ideal replacement will be moving Can to midfield, but to break down the defense partnership which has been playing so well is not a good idea. Unless Lovren has drastically improved his form while sitting on the bench, like Mignolet earlier.
So I guess it's more likely to see Allen coming in to partner Henderson.
Another interesting decision is will Ibe keep his place at RWB or will Markovic be recalled?
Or either one to be pushed further up to the front 3 if Coutinho is out?

oh dear very worried and concerned by this and other injuries to Sterling, Coutinho and Lallana!

Still keep the faith, must win game tonight at Anfield against Spurs. Hope Liverpool's 12th man Kop can make the difference. Come on you Redmen, walk on.

interesting lineup by BR and no Raheem Sterling................

Jordan Ibe in front of Markovic on right side. hmmm...............
