We are currently sitting in 6th position and the 5 sides above us look set to maintain the status quo.
So I cant see us finishing season 2017-2018 higher than 6th place and of course that means no Champions League in 2018-2019.
As to what that means for Jurgen Klopp, I am not so sure. The owners seem to like him as a celebrity. Maybe that is the main point of him in charge. He doesn't spend money on players, he maintains the statue quo, jumps up and down on the sideline, hugs the players and gives interesting press conferences.
Yippee.

Yippee. I think Top 4 is possible, Chelsea and Arsenal are not looking great, they will drop points, I can also see Conte walking, he doesn't appear happy at all, Arsenal could lose Sanchez and Ozil in January. Also, Man Utd have a few bad results in them, but we are as bad as those teams, only City have really impressed me, I think they are just going to overpower most teams, but they will get a few surprise results against them as they play so open and will concede goals. Tottenham look good but really rely on Kane, like at the weekend showed they struggled to finish against Utd without him, just our luck to have Kane get injured with 5 mins to go so he hammers us and doesn't play against Utd. January signings for all clubs will be a big impact on who get's top 4, if we can bring in a decent CB with good experience and hold onto Coutinho, we have a good chance at Top 4.

Agree for most of it. Plus, we have already played a lot of hard fixtures during our first nine games. Out of 9 games, we have played 4 of the traditional big 6 teams and we have chlesea left. Away to Citeh and Spurs may be the toughest game this season (may be away to Scum is also as hard, however, due to their park bus style, I somehow expect we can stay undefeated against them even not playing at home).

Our recent history tells us different, we are in a sh*tty position after 10 games with 2 months to go until the next transfer window.
We've been tonked by City 5 v 0, tonked by Spurs 4 v 1, threw points away v Watford 3 v 3, @home v Burnley 1 v 1, Newcastle 1 v 1, @home v Man Utd 0 v 0 and thrown a winnable trophy away at the first attempt getting beat by Leicester 2 v 0!
We may as well say 3 months before any possible new signings to aid our chronic defence because it's likely to happen as the window closes "IF" FSG agree to it and there's also the fact any new signing/s is going to need time to gel.
Our season is over, our fight is for an EL place next season!

Our season is over, our fight is for an EL place next season! The point is we have been pretty cr*p so far, but we are still in the mix for top 4, as are the other expected top 4 candidates, so we still have a chance, as do the other teams, if anyone puts a decent run of form together they can get Top 4, only City look like running away from the pack. I would argue we weren't tonked by City until Mane got sent off, then down to 10 men against an excellent team we were always going to get a beating, as allot of other teams will this season from City.
