We've also still got atleast 2 fixtures for EL, and are missing a lot of players. Rashford and Martial are going to have to shoulder the offense for the stretch run here.
This weeks Manchester derby might be for top 4. I say might, bc it's been declared over like 10 times this year. I've personally said there goes top 4 for United about 5 times and yet here we are.

I guess on the bright side, Liverpool's only opponent with anything to play for is Boro. The gap already looks too big for them to close, and they still have City and Chelsea to play. Their fate could easily be decided before matchday 38.

Even if United win the derby, I'd still say Liverpool and City have the inside position for the top 4 given the fixtures left.
If United win on Thursday they'd be tied with Liverpool with a game in hand and 2 ahead of city. But we've still gotta travel to Arsenal and Spurs and the Arsenal and Spurs games sandwich the 2nd leg of the EL semi so there's possible squad rotation in one of those unless somehow we get a big result in the first leg of the semi.
Even a set of great results down the stretch (beating City, drawing Arsenal and Spurs) still requires Liverpool or City to drop a game down the stretch. With Liverpool we've had the points advantage, but with City unless the dropped points are a loss, it would be goal differential and we're basically even.

Really think it was only between Hazard and Kante. The fact that they play on the same team is just insane.

Yeah I agree with all of that.
Re Derby, I meant if we lose that's top 4 gone. Sorry wasn't clear there.
I think Arsenal are beatable. Spurs is gonna be tough. Really just depends how the fatigue sets in. Being down a few key players with so many games is tough. Not like you can rotate roster players into EL or Spurs.

The stat I've seen about Liverpool only conceding 12 goals to teams in the top half and 30 to those in the bottom half makes me sick. And they play 3 bottom half teams.
I don't expect CL qualification at all, honestly.

After the Watford game we will know.
Southampton have proved they know how to play is and so have West Ham.
Boro is Boro.
They need 3 at Vicarage Road or it could get ugly.

Liverpool always have quality home kits. I'd say I like the current one better though.

Eh...I'd say along with 08/09 those at the nicest home kits they've since the induction of the PL. 08/09 are still my favourites...god what I would give to have an authentic 08/09 home Torres kit.
I had the exact same with the long sleeve with Torres in the back. I gave it to a former collegue once he transfered to Chelsea. I was mad.

I had one with Babel. Didn't work out too well. And when I was going to buy a Sakho shirt he didn't show up for training, so I probably won't curse any player by buying their stuff.

It's still New Balance, so gross. Old man shoe companies should not make kits for serious clubs. It's impossible to truly screw up a Liverpool home kit, but god has NB had some disasters on their other kits IMO.
