Yep. It has to be Fabinho for that one if Klopp has any sense. Expecting a loss anyway.
It’s purely down to the other 3 matches and if we can win those I think. Got to slog our way to 66 points and then pray for the Leicester and West Ham collapses.

Becker back to his best, win the next one and confidence will grow. Won't hold my breath though

I thought Williams did well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
at what exactly? idr him doing anything other than standing in the cb position and looking extremely slow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At being a centre back in a premier league game where we kept a clean sheet. He's just turned 20.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah i dont think he contributed all that much to the result or clean sheet. as i said idr anything he did, did he even win a challenge? he didnt make a mistake on the ball and was in position most the time, got bailed out a few times. lack of pace and turning circle of a bus.

good performance from mane for me, one of the few who put in a shift worked his backside off was the one winning the ball in the 90th min for thiago goal too.

I think Leicester pick up 3 points for the remainder of the season, they'll easily beat spurs but lose to United and Chelsea.
Means to finish above them we need 3 wins and it comes down to goal difference.
Could go to the wire.

Williams was a 4 for me. We got away with it today due to Ali being in superb form. Williams has no pace, and his reaction speed to situations is also miles behind.
Id play Origi cb over him.

If I were looking at tha game for paper ratings.
alisson 7.5/10 would be 9/10 except his kicking was terrible
trent - 6/10
roberton 6/10
Phillips 7/10
Williams 5/10
fabinho 6/10
wijnaldum 5/10 if ever going through the motions needed a poster boy this was it.
Thiago 6/10
mane 6/10
jota 6.5/10
Salah 5/10 cant miss two one on ones and get a rating.

thats not happening.
in the end we can hope 66 will be enough but its either 69 and a fair chance on GD (which needs massive improvement), 67 and looking for a lot of luck or its hoping we get 7th.
Leicester have 3 rotten games. they could lose 2. but the first one is utd reserves. If they win and lose 1 then thats 69 points and we need all 5.
3 draws would be lovely.
Anyway the most important thing is we have our own games to win and we need to get on with it. Our record is WWWDDW. thats not too bad
