Good shout. That will be a tough game. If we was to lose 1 I’d say it’s most likely gonna be the Brighton game. Think they’ll go for it straight from kick of and being at home they’ll have the fans behind them.
Race for top 4 | Finito.

Thursday against Brighton away.
I think we’ll see West Ham rest players that game. They’ll be safe and would have played 6 games in 2 weeks. They’ll rest players for their Euro semi final imo
The same as I said. A lot of people are confident we’ll beat Brighton. I just think they’ll be our toughest game left.
The FA cup semi gave me no added confidence in us getting a result. They dominated us for most of the game. Add to that they are at home and we are so shite away. I’ll be shocked if we win. Expecting to be dominated again. It’s just a question of who takes their chances.
I also said that
Got a lot of stick for it aswell. Was Much more end to end according to a lot of people.That’s because you’re wrong. They had spells of nothing possession at the start of each half and that was it.I also said that
There was even United fans in the match thread making excuses as to why they weren’t dominating us for feck sake
Not sure what you watched mate. They had 61% possession in 120 minutes of football against us when the scores were level. We needed De Gea to make some big saves to keep us alive in the game.
They dominated possession, had the better chances and if it wasn’t for de gea we could have easily conceded a couple.
I think Chelsea are probably out of the race now after that result!
Brighton were slightly better in the semifinal which is reflected in the stats and the chances each team had. xG was 1.36 for Brighton and 1.26 for us after 120 minutes.
I worry about us in away games though, we have given up a lot of chances against almost all the top 8 away.

They won't be safe by the time we play them,
they'll almost certainly be on 34 points which will leave them still looking over their shoulder.
If they're gonna rest players they'll do it tomorrow night away to City as they'll probably see that game as unwinnable. They'll be targeting us at home as a game they can win, with our patchy away form and not being totally convincing defending set pieces. Trust me, they ain't gonna rest players for us!
No.
Yes, sorry. Mixed it up with our 72 points for beating them if they go on a winning streak. Highly unlikely. I hope we lessen Brighton's theoretical chance tomorrow.
Even if we lose 8-0 tomorrow , Brighton are finishing no higher than sixth (if they're lucky).
So Brighton apparently battered us in the semi.
Its like people expecting us to get battered against someone and when that doesn't happen they still cant let go.
Going by some of the posts here in recent weeks there's no team we wont get battered by..

Liverpool get pens for blatant dives and people think it's crazy that others think they'll win all their remaining games.
Really not liking this at all. Win tomorrow night and my confidence goes up a bit but not so sure. We have to be on the full 90+
I'm a bit worried.
What an absolute joke this Liverpool "win" was. Refs should be held accountable
Liverpool won’t go away. Games vs Brighton and West Ham will be big ones.
Probably too little too late. It’s a good job the scousers didn’t pick up their form earlier.
How fecking annoying are Liverpool? Sick to death of them. The sooner Klopp and Pep go the more the League will level back out.
gotta assume now pool are gonna win out. Luck and the refs are just too much on their side. If only spurs hadnt spurred it up wouldve been irrelevant. Take care of our business tomorrow and should be all good since brighton are prob the toughest opponent we have left. You just know teams like chelsea gonna raise their game when they play us.
United have broken the trust that the fans had since getting hammered by Brighton, Brentford, City, Liverpool, Leicester just in the past couple of seasons.
We also do not have any focus on keeping the ball and passing it around and attacking. We invite attacks and take the foot off the pedal just after scoring and start the second half badly after a bright first half.
So it's fair for fans to expect to be hammered by all teams. Even though Brighton DID NOT batter us at the Semi, they are a good team who can absolutely batter us and they have done so previously.
They are also at home and we are without our best defense, we are without a proper striker, we are unable to score goals.
No point worrying about Liverpool. We just need to make sure that we pick up 9 points.
Yeah didn't expect them to go away. Brentford (H) Leicester (A) Villa (H) Southampton (A) they should win all those games giving them a end of season total of 71 points.
Not worried at all about other results and I expect Liverpool to win all their remaining games. We only need to win three more games out of six though (and hope Brighton don't win every single one of their remaining fixtures).
Here come all the usual panicky pansies after a Liverpool win 
we'll be fine folks.
we'll be fine folks.There is a bit of hope for the Leicester game at the King Power... But then you remember their star striker Wout Faees will be playing.
I still can't believe the man literally smashed two goals into his own net
Jammiest. Team. Ever.

People keep calling liv lucky but I don't call favourable refreeing and unfathomable VAR non-interventions lucky. It will carry them to a top 4 place as one of the most least deserving teams in recent memory.
Even if we just win our home games and we'll be fine, and we'll still likey win at least one away game aswell.
Liverpool are also nailed on to drop at least 2 points against one of Villa, Leicsester, or Brentford.

No ones panicking... Just saying we have to get the required points because they're probably going to win all their games.
It's not fair to expect us to be battered by every team. That's just silly. Reading your posts one would think we're in a relagation zone.
Liverpool's worst (Klopp's dreaded seventh) season
vs
Utd's best season in a while
Next season should be good.

Especially if they keep getting one dodgy decision after another. It’s stressful enough being in a top 4 race against your biggest rival but when you are against the FA and every referee in the league it makes it that much harder.
They really are an extraordinarily fortunate bunch, aren't they? Surely it cant last. Also, I think that those who acuse us of being conspiracy nuts regarding referees are largely wide of the mark. Its doesn't have to be illuminati and horse's heads in the bed to see that pressure from home crowd and Klopp's media presence puts pressure on referees to make decisions that suit Liverpool.
Liverpools spell between beating us 7-0 to Xhaka pushing their player to awaken them is what's gonna cost them
