KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The Next 3 Fixtures

I know there have been a million threads that have said that "we're turning the corner" or " this is the defining moment of the season," so I won't say that these next few weeks are the defining moment in our season, but I think it's safe to say that they'll be pretty important. Spurs at home, Manure away, and Arsenal at home. Tough games.

All of these are winable fixtures, but none of them will be easy. We've beaten Arsenal and Man U already, and I think we can beat Tottenham, but all of these squads are very talented and will not hand us anything. Honestly, I could see us taking anywhere from 9 points or none. If we win them, I can see us pulling into 4th (I don't think Chelsea have the grit to take united), and we'd put some distance between us and Arsenal who are snapping at our heels. If we can rally here, 4th looks very graspable. Will we be up to the task?

Bellamy has been great and our back line has been solid, but there are a few uncertanties that will make or break us. I think it will largely rest upon 4 players to be the controlling factor: spearing, Gerrard, Suarez, and Carroll. With Lucas out, we've needed a DM to hold our midfield together, and Spearing is the only candidate we have. Carra can't do it. Neither can Gerrard or Adam. Jay has the talent, the question is whether or not the young lad can handle the pressure.

Gerrard needs to stay fit. We need his creativity, his leadership, and his ability to control the game.

Suarez set the league on fire when he arrived last year, and he was easily our best player in the first half of the season. However, he started to lag a bit and was not producing goals this season like he was last season. He needs to hit the ground running and brush all this racism malarkey off his shoulder and do what he did this time last year. Score goals, create chances, and run defenders ragged.

Carroll had a poor start to the season, but he looks to be recapturing his Newcastle form. He needs to keep producing goals, because the club has not scored enough. Luis and Craig can't do it alone. He needs to keep up his confidence and a steady run of games.

I can see us beating the 2 london clubs but highly unlikely we can do it at scums backyard. 6 out of 9 points is a satisfactory result for me.

Will be over the moon with 7 points. Do believe that Chelsea will drop at least 4 or 5 in the next few games. Time to steal 4th.

I think we'll slip up against spurs but surprisingly could do well against the scum at old toilet.

The home game against the arse at anfield would be the most winnable.

I'd take that, although really you'd expect us to beat Arsenal and Tottenham at home

7pts would be especially welcome and would keep us in the running for that final CL spot

I think Spurs is without doubt is the hardest fixture. Remember they traveled to city and should of won comfortably, they have goals throughout there whole squad. that said there's no doubt anfield will be rockin' and this 'arry court case could be a distraction.

United Away is alway hard but there's something about the Sh*ite nowadays, they just don't have that fear factor, this is not the united of old. We were unlucky not to beat them at anfield.

Arsenal have the worst away defence I think so you would have to fancy us in this game the only dangers for me is RVP and Walcott with his pace.

Three tough Games but i reckon 7 points would be a good return. This little run of games could define our season.

We can't expect to beat top sides, not even (especially?) at home. Our home record under Dalglish is exactly the same as it was under Hodgson so far, so I have no confidence at the moment. On top of that our league form in general is pretty abysmal this year, 1 win in the last 4 - and that was against a relegation certainty with a habit of leaking goals. And our defeat before that was against the team only just outside of the relegation zone.

Too many people are getting carried away with things lately. Call me a gloom-monger if you want but I don't change my opinions on a game by game basis.

gloom-monger

of the three sides Spurs are obviously the most creative, close down Modric though and they struggle to function, I would put Spearing on him man to man. Utd are struggling to craete any clear chances and I fancy our chances of nicking an away win there. Arsenal are the "easiest" of the three to beat so we will definately loose that one.!

We can't beat top sides? Why not? We beat the scum at home, we beat City, We've beaten Chelsea twice, Arsenal once, and Newcastle once. The only team we have not beaten is Tottenham. Honestly I'm more nervous when we play teams at the bottom of the league, but we can beat anyone on our day.
