2024-25 EPL Season

I didn't think we were catching them even with Havertz, but yeah, if they bottle now, it'll be up to someone else to capitalize
 
Oh wow all the guys that Arteta have been grinding into dust are having long term injuries. Who could have seen that coming? Arsenal will be fine. Saka will be back soon too. Havertz will probably be back before the end of the season too. Arsenal aren’t going to live or die by these guys. It’ll come done to how sustainable their set pieces are. Eagles just won the Super Bowl with the tush push.



Arsenal still are in the easy part of their schedule and are not going anywhere. Table could look very different in March

Liverpool will likely drop several points in their next 4 matches, and it wouldn't be a terrible shock if they only got 3 points in those, winning only against Wolves.

Not really, Liverpool can easily afford to lose 2-3 matches, unless Arsenal wins all of their remaining matches, which is highly unlikely.

No. This is still a momentum league. Dropping points to a rival would be a big gut punch, just like it was last year against United. Also with the brutal stretch we are currently in for the rest of the month we need to win early if we want to try to rest guys later. We need to keep this margin into March regardless of how the math currently looks. Things can change fast
 
You shouldn't plan to rest players for away matches against Villa or Man City, they're difficult enough without doing so. I think it's much more important to go on a winning run after the City match (you have Everton at home during that stretch), that way Liverpool should have title wrapped up in early May.

Then you can rest guys in the last 2 or 3 league matches, which could be important if Liverpool are still in the final stages of the CL.

I don’t agree with this. Get points in early. Adjust later if needed. Have to keep operating from a position of strength. A win today, combined with the Havertz news would be very demoralizing for Arsenal; especially because they will think this is a game LFC have a chance to drop in. LFC need to put pressure on and take the belief away; especially after failing to do so against United a month ago. Can’t let these teams hang around with lingering belief

Not taking Osimhen for nothing cost us any chance this year.

Pretty much, but even then our injury list is so damn great at the moment that not even Victor could turn this ship around.

Jesus: Out for the season
Havertz: Out for the season
Saka: Out until April
Martinelli: Out until mid-March

Not even LFC could recover if their team had this level of injuries.

1) This is literally something that Liverpool fans were using as their pre-excuse for Klopp's Liverpool teams for years, because he constantly ran Salah, Mane, and Firmino into the ground. You guys complained about the possibility of it happening, let alone when they actually had injuries.

2) Arsenal have been running guys into the ground recently because they already had injury issues that necessitated it. And Havertz got hurt in a Dubai training session, not while playing his 10th consecutive 90 or something like that.

3) I love that you think you know when Saka and Havertz will be back playing more than our medical team.

Eagles won with by far the best defense in the league, but still put up 95 points between the NFC championship game and Super Bowl. It wasn't just the tush push.

Correct. Klopp didn’t get the financial reinforcements that Arteta did either. Also Klopp isn’t there anymore.

I mean they haven’t been truthful with the injury reports either and bragged about mind games around injury reports (and have done so all season) so I would not give them the benefit of the doubt that they are being truthful either.

It wasn’t but I was using tush push as an analogy to compare to Arsenal set pieces . And Maclean didn’t know what the tush push was so wanted to give an example. Kind of meant as a compliment , was a bit surprised more people didn’t know what tush push was. And I was in Philadelphia over the weekend so was def in the brain
