Nah, we'll drop some point along the way, we always fuck up these chances, Leicester are set up perfectly to hurt us with their quick counter attack, and Swansea and West Brom always seem to give us trouble. We need to do well here, and we have a chance, but its not going to be easy, but I am glad we haven't got any of the top six around the short breaks of the Christmas games.
Yes, it'll have its difficulties BUT yes, we defo have a chance of getting there by the end of the year. Whatever our deficiencies, others have as many or, in a lot of cases, even more. If we play to our potential (and I fully accept that's what we have to do now) we firkin well *should* make top four by the New Year or shortly after.
If we can play like we did last night till the end of the season with good injured players coming back into the fold... Top four or even better is possible...
But then I remember the Palace game...
The league is very very open this year, all the teams more or less are capable of beating each other, one reason why one of the best things about the way Klopp is getting us to play is that it truly doesn't rely on just a single great player it's got the whole team causing mischief...
This could be a cracking season to be a Liverpool fan which considering where we were at the start of October is a hell of an achievement.

I struggle with the prediction/points lark. Lose/draw to Swansea/WBA and all of sudden Leicester and the Barcodes look difficult fixtures. Then, far from 15-16 points, we end up with 7 or 8.
And the first one back to the drawing board wins.

I'm confident that we'll now, slowly, start to become more and more solid, and turn those draws into wins, as Andy says. However, we're only at the start of that road, not the end of it, and we're far from being a team that can look at ANY game, home or away and simply expect 3 points for turning up. The past three games have shown that we can beat AND lose to any team, anywhere.
The answer to the question is 'nah'.
Funny that - I got a few cheeky messages from my Arsenal friends - I remember one season where they were at the top at the start of the year then a certain team came of age and took them apart and held onto number 1 until someone had a slip. I think right now with every match there is great expectation and hope because we can all feel that this BIG FUCKING GERMAN bloke is on the brink of changing our minds to BELIEVE we can go and fuck everyone up. I love that feeling I and I can't get enough of it - his honesty regarding team performance especially after Newcastle made me warm to him even more. Some people are saying the Gengen has slowed down a little - but I don't think he is going to let it slip.
Go down in points? You can lose points now?
No, you've heard of dropping points, haven't you, and losing points to rivals, haven't you? That sort of thing. So we'll go past Spurs, say, and then go behind Spurs, etc.
Hope this clarifies.
Phew, that's a relief.
Doesn't matter sure we are winning the league aren't we?
Shame that we cant seem to win those tight games at the moment. We'd been in the top 4 now if that was the case.
Draws against Norwich, Soton and WBA and losing to CP at home.
We play every top team at home in the second half of the season and then lesser ones away, maybe that will suit us better at this stage.
No easy games though, obviously.
I think we'll miss out but be right up there until the end.

We'll make Top 4. A few dicey results here and there have done nothing to neuter that believe.
I'm basing that on ; Klopp, January transfer window (we will get 1 or 2 for sure despite the downplaying at the moment), we will have got by far the tougher half of the season out of the way (based on which teams we played at home and which away), new players settling in and most importantly the tactics will start to become ingrained and second nature.

Top 4? Yeah, why not. It's gonna be a close one so everyone should hang on their hats!
In a season as topsy-turvy as this one, it would be daft to write our chances off this early.
Well this thread is looking sillier by the game 🙁
How depressing from manager of the month to total melt down in 3 games.
Hopefully we can get back on track against the table toppers.

I actually want Leicester to win the league, only so that I get to laugh at all the big money-spending 'mega-clubs'.
Imagine the sh*t we'll get then. We would have zero excuses for being rubbish.
