Good morning.
So I see all the pundits and opposition fans dismissing us for top 4.

I think this is very premature. It is tight as ever, and you have 3 teams fighting for 4th position. But does everyone really think Liverpool's run will get worse and worse? We have only the league to fight for, whereas other teams have champions league, fa cup etc. We will be playing once a week. Klopp is bound to get it right. I think this dip in form will be good in a way, as it will give Klopp clear indication of what needs improving.
Also, it reminds us all how weak our squad is and how good of a job Klopp has done to bring us in this position. It also would be great to see a grandstand finish.
If you look at Uniteds and Arsenals last 4-5 games, they have tough opponents. We play teams that are not competing for in the top 4 and teams that are far away from the relegation zone. Teams that are basically in no mans land, and I think this could give us an advantage.
Also do you think maybe it's time to bring in Wilson or Ojo, just to add some width and hunger into the side?
I think top 4, even top 3 would be achievable just think it is really premature to write us off. Top 4 positions can change every week.
Thoughts?
Top 4 Predictions

Not for Rangers no.
If you feel that we have this huge advantage because of five less games so be it.

We're top scorers!
You honestly think that we should be scoring more? This is what you're telling me? That the top scorers should score more?
I just want to be clear on that.

Be clear on this.
Your strikers are not firing.
Firmino who you claim to be the main striker has 8 goals in comparison to Lukaku who has 16.
So the takeaway point would be you need a more clinical goalscorer to improve to the levels you need to get to.

Are there any European competitions you could exit after playing 5 fixtures?
I'll save you using any remaining brain power, no there are not.
You are aware Liverpool are also not in Europe.

No retort to the strength in depth comment?

This is worse than Wolves at Anfield now.

The squad isn't built for Europe on purpose
FSG "Hello Jurgen, we would like you to come and work for us at Liverpool"
Klopp "I would love that, give me a bit of information on the aims of the club"
FSG "Can you build a squad, but not a squad for Europe, we don't want that"

You alright? Normally a double pot is a sign of but four?
I'll leave you and your tin foil hat to it I reckon but just to be clear we're top scorers because of the way we set up. We don't use an out and out striker set up because Klopp likes to create overloads in and around the box.
When you've learnt the game, and maths, come back and maybe post five times.

I'd love to think Klopp would get us Top 4 but the combination of lack of serious investment in players (I accept they've invested in infrastructure - stadium) and Klopp's own errors in respect of January and the situation with Sakho leads me to conclude we will fall outside of this.

Naaah. We are too scorers and the goals are spread throughout the team. Lukaku has 16 but how many have his teammates scored?
This season our issues have been defensive not offensive.
