If we do beat Arsenal in game 36 then I would expect the league to be wrapped up after that.

If not then it would mean they've gained 8+ points on us in 15 games.

If Arsenal go past us then I don’t see us coming back from that. Although we do have the Anfield game as a buffer to recover from if it goes pear shaped before that, can’t rely on anyone to do you a favour in those final few games as we well know, it’s all down to you.

Ideally want to go into that game knowing the win will more or less stamp the title win.

Most games played in 2024:

Gakpo - 71
Kounde - 70
De Paul - 68
Valverde - 68
Diaz - 68
Van Dijk - 67
Zivkovic - 67
Xhaka - 66
Despodov - 66
Mac Allister - 66


Probably not ideal for us to have 4 players in the top 10

Minutes played is more important than games played to be fair.

I'd wager Gakpo and Diaz are down the list on that front given they quite often rotate.

International tournament probably but with Gakpo quite a number of his appearances are from the bench or he got subbed off after 60-65

this season
VVD - 3049 mins
Gakpo - 2351 mins
Diaz - 2053 mins
Mac10 - 2283 mins
Dom - 2392 mins
Salah - 2287 mins
Grav - 2549 mins

So with 2 big matches coming up, do you think Slot should rest players for the visit of Man U in order to concentrate on Spurs & Accrington Stanley?

Think United will be tougher than we expect, they are absolute crap but it’s their biggest game of the year

Is there any news on konate

Joe Gomez’s injury is set to keep him out of action for several weeks but Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate are scheduled to resume full training on Friday.

Due a win then, referees are always crap against us we can’t keep using it as an excuse.

Hopefully we are clinical and score a few early on then Oliver can interrupt play every few mins for attention all he likes!

Arne Slot says Joe Gomez out for a few weeks. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley due to train with first team today.

Gomez only a few weeks is great news.

Dare I say we've basically got a full squad to pick from now?

Does anybody think Chiesa leaves in January?

Would feel very Liverpool that the only move in January is getting rid of the only move we made in the summer

We need him for Accrington

We haven't really needed Chiesa and he was always going to take some time to get up to speed, so it's made sense not to rush him in.

At least that's what I'm hoping.

The club have confirmed he's not leaving. Would make no sense.

I think it became apparent quite quickly that they’d decided to take the long term view of him.

Loan fee, loan fee, loan fee, sold in 2028.

We were being "Opportunistic" in thinking that we could get a Salah replacement on the cheap but that will never happen with this player.
