Well having not learnt anything in the last three seasons you can only hope fourth time lucky at Anfield.

Predictions for the upcoming games with our rivals?
I'm usually pessimistic, and quite wrong at predictions, but here goes:
Tottenham 0 Man U 0
Liverpool 2 Tottenham 1
Tottenham 1 Arsenal 1

Last season we had the best defence 4 good full backs best 2 center backs in the league, Dembele and Victor where gods, Ali was shit hot, this season only Eriksen, Kane Verts and Son have kept there form. Our full backs don’t look nearly as strong, Sanchez started well but recently has struggled. Hopefully Moura will add more creativity and Victor, Dembele and Toby coming back we will get a rhythm and our form back.

4 into 3 now given tonight’s results. If we don’t win tomorrow it might be 3 into 3. COYS

We simply must get something in the next 2 games. Lose both and we will be 8 points behind 4th. That's quite a mountain to then climb.
It being us I've no faith we are going to do it this week. I obviously hope I'm ver very wrong.

It's also good to let them score one or two, so to give their fans false hope during the game. That would make the ultimate defeat even harder to swallow. I'm a sadist.
Will be very interesting tbh. Poch got it totally wrong against City. Tried to go toe to toe which ended in disaster. Unfortunately I feel he will use the high press. It could work but much more risky. Also slightly naive as the low Block has shown time and time again way to beat Liverpool.
Two wins and a draw would be excellent and would set us up brilliantly for the season run-in. All of the teams 2nd-5th still have to play each other therefore will take points from each other. Liverpool have to go to Chelsea and Man U. Chelsea have to go to Man U. Those are weeks when we will have guaranteed opportunities to make gains. This is very much still in our hands, which is great taking into account the issues we have had with Wembley and our injury problems.

Arsenal have to go balls out for the Europa League IMO and they do have a good chance of winning it which should hopefully hinder their Top 4 chances. Tonight is massive, a win would really give us some much needed momentum.

Maybe a tough run of games is what we need. It is probably not true but I get the impression every time we have a break, international, end of season, even a week or so off and we come back lethargic. Usually when the games comes think and fast we look sharper, more focused. So this is my way of building up my optimism for what lies ahead

Five points off second. When you consider our current form, the continued progression of Lamela and Wanyama toward full fitness, the imminent return of Toby and Rose, and Lucas to be added to the mix you have to be optimistic. Massive two matches coming up now.

Just avoid defeat on Sunday and we're set up nicely. Fancy Chelsea to miss out rather than Utd or Liverpool, very erratic form this season.
