Carragher needs to try and be a bit more subtle with his propaganda. Trying to ramp up the pressure before the Villa game...

One game away from a crisis? We're already in the crisis!

So the Prem is pretty much done now. Unless we turn things around against Newcastle it'll likely be another trophyless season.

    There is a lot of football to be played and we still have a match against Liverpool, albeit at Anfield. Our attack looks too blunt though and this would be one of our worst season with respect to injuries. Even if Liverpool falter, I just can't see us taking advantage. Liverpool have dropped points recently and we still couldn't close in.

    The project isn't making sense
    Not signing a striker or attacker in the summer and not doing it again with Saka and Jesus injured.
    Relying on Partey at RB even though that experiment has failed multiple times.
    Subbing Sterling on for Martinelli in a game you have to win.
    The slow ponderous football , maybe not this game but overall this season.

    title rice is definitely over. even though there's lots of points up for grabs, we're locked in to playing the same way for the rest of the season, which means results like today's will keep happening.

    Difference is that Liverpool aren't prone to losing games this season. They grind out draws or destroy teams. We're not winning every single game for the rest of the season so we should admit the league is over. It sucks because this was our best chance in the last 5 years but it is the reality. Liverpool could lose their best player and still grind out a draw.

    The club has little ambition. They are happy for top 4 being BAU.

    I do agree that the Kroenkes care less for success than fans, and less than Arteta and the players.

    I would dispute the idea they care less than other owners. They’re likely more than happy that we’re back to being “respectable” and they’ll certainly be happy with CL footy. More than that, it’s just icing on an already massive cake for them.

    The money we've spent the last five years, largely without CL football suggests ambition. Whether we've invested that money efficiently or not is another matter.

      Ambition to get CL footie. As soon as we get it they revert to type. They got a huge 13 days in front of them otherwise what’s the point?

          We've only won more than 2 matches in a row twice this season in the EPL. Our consistency is not good enough.

            Claudius and potentially 4 points further off the top, so a 6-point swing. Regression.

              Claudius no we are potentially 9 points behind in Feb if Liverpool win their game in hand.

                Claudius So what are we now - two points behind where we were last season after the same round of matches?

                Maybe, but we ended last season with 1 loss and 1 draw over the course of the remainder of the season and still missed out. You reckon we can put that kind of run together again?

                    Points and position aside, it’s clear this team is floundering.

                    Getting back Ben White won’t be enough to kick on.
