I think our next game Vs Spurs is crucial for us. City's being away at OT.
If Man U help us out and beat them, I think we'll push on and get over the line.
It's easy to say 'this or that draw blew it' in hindsight. We can't win every game and when we don't, look at a couple draws and say 'yeah that's when Klopp blew it'.
Scary now that City aren't that many games away from the Quadruple. Tottenham have lost a few recently, so not sure if they will wobble or come out fighting against us, I think we have more desire than them, so we will win, they know they have blown it, so will be hoping they can turn it on in the CL against City, I have a funny feeling they may knock City out the CL, as everyone seems to have written them off, if Kane has a big game, they could do it. Ole has lost a few now, been knocked out the FA Cup, likely to out the CL playing Barca, so I think he will have Utd fired up against City as he will want to show the board he can raise the team to match City. I actually think United have it in them to beat City. I agree, they have a decent chance, I know there is all this that their fans would rather City win it than us, but when that game kicks off, the fans will want UTD to beat their derby rivals, like we did when we beat Blackburn and they won the PL at Anfield. Ole will be fighting for the Utd job at that stage, the fans & players want him to get it, but it looks like the board want to hang on to see how he copes (sensible), so he will have them pumped up for the game as Ole will want to show the Utd board he can beat City/Pep to get the job. Of course United would want to beat City, it's only some fans who have those ideas about preventing LFC etc.

We're playing Spurs at a bad time for them, however this International Break will help them more than us. They've blown their buffer between themselves, Arsenal and Man Utd. Klopp has to re-install the press for our last 7 games, starting with Spurs. If we can re-discover how to blow teams away early then he can preserve players. We won't have a chance in the CL if we continue with the current labored tactics because better teams like Barcelona and Juventus will be on the horizon. Some good news that Gomez and Ox will be in full training soon. Whether they can get match fit in time to contribute is another matter.

I can't see Klopp starting eirher of Gomez or Ox this season, maybe a cameo appearance at most, as he likes to get returning players up to full match fitness before starting them.
City have to play Spurs in the PL, as well as playing them home and away in the CL. There's a fair chance Spurs could take points off them in the PL, thereby helping us out. City also have United away, so could drop there too, and then they've shown they can drop points to lesser sides as well, so it's not all over by any means, unless of course we slip up ourselves. The next big test for us is on 31st March (Beexit day!!! It can't be lucky!##¥><#!!??!) that home game is an absolute must win, so it's going to be an uphill task, given the day that's in it!

And then there's Chelsea too. It's not that we've slipped up against them before either...
