Rodgers has no more must-win games. 4th is impossible, and only a fuck up of epic proportions would prevent Europa League qualification. Might as well wheel out the youngsters and tinker with formations along the way.

Wait, why?

Swansea/Bradford getting a space means only 5th gets EL qualification this year automatically I think? I might be wrong, they might have changed the rules, but I always thought the EL places were 5th/FA Cup/League Cup, with 6th and 7th getting the places if teams already in Europe won the cups.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Are Liverpool still in the FA Cup? Time to focus on that and the Europa League perhaps.

Oldham mun

 

[PowderedToast]

Probably. You do seem a bit deranged.

lmao

what constitutes as a good lucas performance? is it because he completed a few passes? cos he sure can't press, or attack, or tackle..or do anything

am i living in BIZZARO WORLD

No you are just being a cunt. Go and have a lie down or take a walk outside.

 

[Gareth Bale]

David Moyes is going to love this.

Poor Fry. Even that 16th place team beat WBA.

Yes. Lucas won a load of tackles today. He was good. Stop having stupid opinions.

 

[Wilbur]

It has been noted. And it will not be forgotten!!

We have European pedigree, the Swans don't. We graced the Intertoto Cup...the finest of all competitions! Arshavin made his debut against us for pitys sake. Pedigree

:lol

I guess I just think Swansea could put in a decent performance in the EL, at least play well in the group stages. You'd probably go out in the first round, but I suppose the money might be worth it!

Don't care who wins really, just delighted its two clubs who normally don't win much.

My fucking GF :lol

I tell her about this Tweet I've just seen. Someone lumped £100 on Baggies to win at 8/1. I'm trying to say where do people get the bottle from etc. her response;

"Might have been a scam. I saw it on the news."

Do I try and explain or do I just give her a hug and say, yeah you're right.

Explain it while giving a hug to minimise damage.

 

[Sane_Man]

The one saving grace of Liverpool being shit is that the period of pain following a loss is significantly shorter than when we were decent. 1 hour tops.

Oh well, Black Mirror time. Don't let me down, Brooker.

It's The Office I think.

The way he shoots it is a lot funnier than the outcome.

Such a cool game! Admittedly, I've not played it half as much as I should have this weekend. I'm on it tomorrow morning though, Wes and TC also have it.

Their only real competitor for 5th is Everton. And if a big team wins the FA cup, then 6th will be up for grabs too. Swansea will return to the mean (even if its the higher end), they've been inconsistent all season long.

edit: oops forgot about Chelsea being in the mix. Either way, missing out on EL isn't a big deal. CL or bust.

One of Arsenal/Spurs is going to miss out on 4th and finish 5th, so really Everton and Liverpool are fighting for 6th.

 

[sohois]

I think he meant that Arsenal aren't going to compete for any of the top positions. At least I hope he meant that.

Right, forgot about that. Oh well. Missing out on EL isn't the end of the world.

Except for last season.

But go easy and don't look into their trophy cabinet, otherwise you may feel dull.

Exactly. It has such a huge influence on which players can be brought in. We really need to get into the top 4, it's an absolute. Because either us, Spurs or Chelsea are going to dip out and for whoever does it will be a disaster.

The key game is the match between us and Spurs at White Hart Lane. We must not lose that game.

 

[Sviatoslav]

So does Rodgers get the axe when his team has a worse season than King Kenny's?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Even Liverpool has won more trophies recently than you. Even if you don't count the carling cup which is hardly a real trophy.

 

[dc89]

I'm super jealous of Arnie and his chocolate Nesquick

Oh and Wilbury and Willkiller - :LOL

Whoever is responsible for buying Borini should get the axe.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rodgers gets quite a bit of slack from the media considering. I think Rory Smith mentioned this in the past.

 

[Wilbur]

He shouldn't. Should get at least another season, preferably two. If things aren't looking up by then, then maybe they'll make a change. I think he should get at least two more.

The key game is the match between us and Spurs at White Hart Lane. We must not lose that game.

Yep. Think if you win or draw, fourth is yours. Lose and its Spurs'.

 

[TheFeedingHand]

just saw the Liverpool - WBA result, ROFL, what happened?

 

[Sviatoslav]

But go easy and don't look into their trophy cabinet, otherwise you may feel dull.

Liverpool has never won the Premier League. Arsenal has never won the Champions League. Liverpool has never won the Emirates Cup.

Arsenal wins.

 

[Salvadora]

They are not playing in the Champion's League.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I still haven't seen anything from him. Really can't see what type of player he's meant to be.

He's young yet but for sure it hasn't worked out this season.

 

[Wilbur]

Liverpool has never won the Premier League. Arsenal has never won the Champions League. Liverpool has never won the Emirates Cup.

Arsenal wins.

:lol :lol

 

[Kyoufu]

Liverpool were Bayern.

WBA were Chelsea.

The rest is history.

 

[jtb]

Kenny spent 100m+, didn't he? Meanwhile, Rodgers has been trimming the wage bill and, 15m on Joe Allen aside, spending pretty shrewdly. He won't get the axe. Hell, missing out on EL might even give him a chance for a legitimate push for 4th.

Exactly. It has such a huge influence on which players can be brought in. We really need to get into the top 4, it's an absolute. Because either us, Spurs or Chelsea are going to dip out and for whoever does it will be a disaster.

I still think Chelsea's managerial uncertainty will be a big question mark through the rest of the season. They missed out on 4th big time last season and another league collapse isn't out of the question. All things considered, I'm actually pretty pleased with Arsenal's position. We're doing better, relatively speaking, then we were at this point last season. No RVP, but the team seems to be clicking decently well. LB remains an issue (thank fuck Santos is gone for good), but lose to Bayern and 4th place will fall into place.

Spurs will probably finish ahead of us though. They've got a real strong core of players, even if Adebayor is doing his usual shit-second-season routine.

 

[Meier]

So does Rodgers get the axe when his team has a worse season than King Kenny's?

That would be unfair. They're playing well, they just need further strengthening in a few positions. Clearly should have cashed in on Skrtel or Agger in the Summer though...
