Liverpool defeat Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford

Good match, some nail biting moments for Liverpool fans. All good in the end though, still a slim chance to make a CL spot.

1. Yes, got there in the end but there's some real problems with the

Right side of the Liverpool defence. Man U relentlessly attacked that side and got through way too many times for comfort. I don't find Phillips inspiring to say the least....

2. Slim chance? Pool are now odds on favourites after we shit the bed versus Arse.

Pool's last 3 games are against dregs. West Brom (relegated and already at the beach), Burnley (only true shot for a bindipper cock-up IMHO, but Burnley are likely at the beach already) and Palace (at the beach already as well).

3 wins puts the scousers on 69 points at season's end as they have a game in hand and are on 60 points atm.

We (Chelsea, on 64 ATM) need to win both our remaining games, both tough (Leicester and Villa with Grealish back) to hit 70. A win and a draw only leaves us on 68.

Leicester (on 66 atm) can edge us multiple ways, even if we beat them. If we beat them but only draw (so we would have 68) or lose (we would end at 67) versus Villa, all they need to do is beat Spuds in the last game, and they have 69 and go over us if we only draw or lose v Villa. They could even (much harder) lose to us but only by a goal, then only draw with Spuds, but if we get crushed by Villa by 3 or more goals, the Foxes go into 4th over us on GD. (Nightmare scenario for us).

3. Well, maybe a half decent chance

Still, the way Liverpool have played this season we've been prone to shooting ourselves in the foot at just the right time. You're right though, they have the odds in their favor. Here's hoping.

4. Here is hoping we win the last two EPL games, lol. Well last 4 (the FA Cup Final + the CL Final)
