Race for 4th

[Ombudsam]

Just seen the table. How the f*ck are we still in this?

 

C'mon lads it's there for us. Let's show them what we're about!

[Epic Swindle]

These are s****.

[Rimbeux]

Arsenal's start, Chelsea's middle. Logically Arsenal, or rather Van Persie, might be due a dip or injury. Chelsea might just click, but there is a lot going on there. We just need to score

[RafaShanks]

We just need to sort ourselves out and we'll be in contention.

 

Spurs have a tough 6 weeks coming up in January including a visit to Anfield.

 

Hopefully we'll get a few new faces that know what to do in front of goal.

 

And Stevie is hopefully back for the rest of the season.

 

We can do this!

[Epic Swindle]

Gerrard is key, you add his magic and a good striker to the current lot and the foundations are there. Don't think we'll get it but there's so much football to play.

[Sion]

We get 25 points from out 9 remaining home games and its ours to lose.

They key to finishing 4th is being boss at home.

Unfortunately I can't see it happening.

and only letting 3 teams finish ahead of you. We cannot underplay this lads.

Buy a proven goalscorer in the January window and we have a real chance, but as it stands, I see Chelsea and Arsenal as more likely to finish above us.

 

I think the top three places are already gone - one of three from us Arsenal and Chelsea for fourth.

 

January window is crucial.

We'll get about 15 points at the current rate.

It's the message Kenny should be relaying to the owners. We've been average at times but we are still in it. Get a few in next month and we can get on a run.

 

Chelsea, Spurs and arsenal all to come to Anfield too.

[RafaShanks]

We play Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs all at home with only both Manc c**ts to visit.

 

Our defence is sound where as Chelsea and Arsenals are more than suspect.

We have 10 remaining home games, not 9. My bad.

So make that 27 points needed

9 wins

 

We'd be on 31 + 27 = 58

 

So out of the ten away games left, 4 wins would get us probable 4th.

Some post Christmas bravado here.

 

Unless something really drastic happens and we start scoring goals and playing like we should, we'll not be in the hunt for 4th.

 

I cannot see the owners spunking out a ton of money on new players unless we offload a few.

 

Having watched our last few games, we are going to struggle to find any consistency until we start scoring early goals like we did at Villa. We scored early and then were able to play without pressure.

 

Our best winning run in the league is 2 games, that's not good enough.

Well we currently already are, so you're wrong there.

No it's not. It's looking at the table and seeing that despite wasting so many games we aren't far off.

 

And adding that if we could get our act together it's do-able.

 

Not bravado at all.

FSG are very intelligent businessmen - they will be fully aware of the repercussions of finishing outside the top four.

 

You may as well finish sixteenth as fifth - the thought of the Europa league fixtures on a Thursday night turns my stomach and brings back horrible memories of Hodgson.

 

That is why I fully expect another big spend next month - I can see Suarez bending the ear of Gaston Ramirez, and hopefully some top quality striker will be recruited too.

Nail on head here for me.

[Nebraska Red]

I hope you are all correct, but having watched us play lately, I'm dubious we can make the much needed improvements to our play and add a couple of players.

 

I reckon Kenny needs to shake things up a bit selection wise and tactically. Who we are using, and the way we are using them, is not working at the moment.

 

Leave the defence alone, other than maybe play Kelly instead of Johnson, but shake up the midfield and forwards.

It's strange to think we are within touching distance. It's probably (and sadly) more likely though that Arsenal and Chelsea will have a decent run of form before we will.

 

I think the only positions in the current top 6 that will change by the end of the season is first and second. But I sure as hell hope that I'm wrong.

[Farmer's Tan]

i am convinced we are better than both Arsenal and Chelsea, we will get 4th if we get a goal scorer, matter of fact we will coast it with a couple of match winners.

[CarraLegend]

January window could be key, like today for Arsenal if its not Van Persie its no one, Chelsea need a quality striker and a midfielder and we need a quality striker aswell.

Hopefully Torres stays poo during the ANC or ACN or whatever it's called. I think we need a Lucas replacement as well as a striker mind. We needed one even when Lucas was fit. Not because Lucas isn't high quality but we needed to be able to replace him high quality.

still no news on Mayweather's dad
