We just came through 3 fixtures with 7 points, 8 goals, 5 conceded - when in the corresponding fixtures last season we picked up 0 points, 3 goals & 8 conceded.
(H Bournemouth, A United, H Brentford)
After today we're 13 points ahead of what we picked up from the same games last season - a new high.
Prior to tonight we had been on +11 points until we lost against Chelsea.
When you look at our remaining 16 games (which we got 30 points from last season), to get 30+ points and ending up in the mid 70s should be enough for top 4.
First 22 games have been worth 1.95 points per game. Over 38 games that would be 74 points, though actually think we will push a bit closer towards 80 points.

Definitely wouldn't say nailed on. West Ham win their game in hand and they're only 5 points behind!I think 4th is nailed on tbh - No way Villa finish above us and the others behind are all over the place.
We should be catching Woolwich and aiming to win all those 6 point games in the run in.
Everyone back match fit in the next few weeks why not
But Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle are all quite capable of putting down 30 odd points in their remaining games.
Don't forget how many sides fold and mentally go on holiday when there's nothing left to play for after around 28-32 games. Our final 6 games are against sides that will all likely be scrapping for the league title, European football and relegation.
(To be honest you could extend that to our final 9 games.)
They are exactly the type of games those teams won't want to be playing a fully fit Spurs in though - I think we could get on a run if we are fit and healthy by then.
West ham? No chance mate

Though it doesn't suit our media tag, we actually have a pretty good record of getting over the line for top 4.

Too early to call.
But I do think 3rd or just possibly 2nd is possible - but obviously means we need to win more than those surrounding ourselves, probably averaging more than say 2.2 ppg, or circa 11 wins over last 16 matches. Just have to see
The state of the refereeing decisions in favour of liverpool last night.
Chelsea should have had 2 pens, and Liverpool got one for a near identical foul to one that wasn't considered a pen for chelsea.
May as well forget winning the league, like the year of Leicester this title will be gift wrapped by the referees for klopp now

Nailed on mate....Son, Biss and Sarr to come back and Maddison getting fitter.
West Ham aren't running us down and Villa look gassed.
This. Media, neutrals, refs, all want Klopp yo win so they will get free points. That pen last night was absolutely stonewall. Criminal that VAR said no.
Spurs to win Saturday. Woolwich to win this weekend.
Liverpool lead reduced to five points. Has to happen. All that matters is the gap between us and 1st place. Winners mentality
On paper one of the few fixtures we can go into expecting Liverpool to drop points. Let’s see what this woolwich lot are really all about.

If we win on Saturday, we're going to be in a healthy position by the end of the weekend regardless. A woolwich win would put the cat among the pigeons though. Especially as we have two very winnable home games afterwards.

(Assuming Chelsea game 23 Feb is postponed.)
It’s their fairytale.
The Klopp swan song.
He’ll be portrayed as a David fighting off the Goliath of Pep and City, bringing football home to a city, “that loves and knows their football”.
a draw is better as put pressure on both of them. liverpool will run out of steam anyway. hopefully they go far in europe.
I just think they need to lose. The only position we need to worry about is 1st place and the gap being as small as possible.
Liverpool having a 5 point lead is far better for us than a 6 point lead due to their GD.
I would rather they lost now than go into a run of winnable games on a very long unbeaten run. Put some doubt in all their minds.
And I have more faith we will beat woolwich at ours than we go up to anfield and get 3 points.
Draw up there would be a great result for us. Win there hopefully would go down as being truly historic.
Time to believe in this team. I trust this manager 100%. Big month coming up. Have to recreate the form we started the season with. 26 points out of the next 30 would be a real statement.
Burnley and Sheffield Utd are last 2 games. Won’t be fighting relegation, they will be down.
No chance, I watched their match directly after ours and it wasn't exactly night and day but we havea way to go before we match them, their attack was relentless - like a bunch of hungry animals just bullying Chelsea, doesn't look like they're gonna slow down anytime soon.
