We could do with them staying in the CL
Maybe...but I don't think it will matter.
Arsenal has a pretty easy schedule in the Prem.
They're getting Saka back after the international break too.
Spurs? Arsenal?
I hope they play Saka a lot, the idiots.
Go read the other games thread for Arsenal Chelsea. No way they catch us.
There’s an international break then we get a weekend off. Time to mentally and physically regroup and win 5 games and that’s the title.

Hope so. In which case we should bounce back hard after the break.
We'll be fine. But this is why loads of us were really worried about our prospects if Arsenal had got the gap down to 4 or 5 points. We've been crap for ages.
Ironic that if we were still flying we'd have resented having to stop now, but the break could turn out to be just what we need.

Southampton post match
PSG post match.
All the same things stick. Overplaying some of our key players when we should be looking to give them fewer minutes on the pitch. Mental fatigue has kicked in as much as physical. See the goals we conceded in our last 3 games. Pretty much all of them were brain dead. Subs come on and make an impact. Then they get lashed back on the bench. Then we have to turn to them to try and make changes.
The slow starts. Fuck right off. We gave teams confidence by not blasting them out of the water then chill the rest of the game. We just seem to let them grow and then we go back to Klopp’s worst seasons where we concede the first goal 70% of the time.
Obviously disappointing, but if you'd offered me where we are right now back in August I'd have bitten your hands off. And I think, with the possible exception of City, any other team in the league would have done.
City would have bitten your hands off in October though.

I have a lot of time for you, but I hate this mentality
What you'd accept from an unknown future is one thing, but living it surely is different? We've got to a final, topped the CL group. To give those 2 things up in a week for no real reason other than a managers stubbornness and a poor mentality is unforgivable.
Like, if you said "in march you're going to shag Margot Robbie" I'd be elated. It gets to the end of march is turns out that yes I'm still shagging Margo Robbie but could have been getting rimmed by zendaya (but didn't as I was too focused on Margot Robbie) at the same time, I'm going to be a bit disappointed when I find out
In spite of everyone being all "oh what a super duper squad we've got"; we should have strengthened in January as this drop off could be seen from space.
Mcconnel and morton should have been used more. They might not be good enough but they won a fucking trophy last year

So, you're jealous about me and Zendaya then? Is that it? She says Hi, by the way.
I get what you're saying, and this time last week I wanted it all too. But it turns out I can't have it all. But I want the league, and I want the league more than anything else - back in August, this time last week and right now. And we're going to get it. So whilst I'm pissed about how things got derailed this week, and particularly that all that remains for us this season is to wander over the finishing line in the Premier League before playing out a few dead rubber games, I'm still going to go ape shit when the title is confirmed. And I don't give a shit that it's the only trophy the players will be waving from the top of the bus along the Strand.
Newcastle will probably have a parade tomorrow. And the city will go fucking mental. Because they won the League Cup. Whatever.
I watched Arsenal play today and I have to say they are not great. They struggled to overcome a very ordinary Chelsea.
Although as I said sometime ago it is down to us, we should not be worrying about what others may or may not do.
Three wins and two draws should do it. 4 wins a draw too.
West Ham
Spurs
Palace
Should all be 3 points at home.
Leicester away should be another 3 points.
Everton and Arsenal at home should be draws at worst.
Brighton and Fulham away again should be draws at worst.

Spot on !
Far too many shoulds for my liking. We both know it never works out that way.
Should've beat Plymouth, should've got through PSG after taking a 1 nil lead back to Anfield, should've lifted our first trophy of the season today after Newcastle were missing 3 key players.
Predict the outcomes and see what you come up with. I’ll bet it is along those lines.
By time we both play again they have Martinelli and Saka back though*
Martinelli was replaced today after an ineffective display. Saka will have to be eased in.
Still down to us.
This is getting silly. We're 12 points ahead with 27 to play for.
It would take the biggest collapse known to man to lose it from here.

Playing once a week after we get through the next two. Fatigue won’t be an issue.
He's just returned from a lengthy lay off, our players are playing like they've just returned from a lengthy of.
Hopefully we'll have enough ability to recover some form. I'm sure the players will look to put right a disappointing week.
Let's say we draw with Arsenal, that means we need 13 points from the other 8. Say 3 wins and 4 draws and a loss.
And that's if Arsenal win EVERY other game.
In all likelihood 3 wins from 9 will be enough.
