Even if arsenal don't beat stoke this is must win. A draw or loss gives United the chance to get 4th. We can't afford to give them any chance of that with so few games left.

Yep. We simply have to win both games.

He's injured.

Their front 3 is also tiny, the only tall players are their cb's so we really shouldn't get done from set pieces

We will know come Saturday evening. If Arsenal beat Stoke then yes, we have to win.

Id say given Arsenal's fixtures, it is anyway.  I really think we need two wins or were fucked.

Edit - No KH, sorry Im talking shite.  If Arsenal dontwin their next game, a win and a draw is fine.

Need to be brave and start brightly

Mig, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Milner, Lucas, Can, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino,

Don't know who should get that last spot on the right. I'm inclined to say Sturridge should get a chance to start.

I am looking forward to this myself it's a test for the players, however with Lallana and Sturridge available we have more options and creativity than we have had in a while...I can see us scoring a couple here, maybe that's just me though.

If people have a nervous disposition, I probably wouldn't watch this. Cos its gonna be the same again, scrappy, not much good football and hoping we scrap a win at this stage of the season. Its not gonna be enjoyable until the final whistle.

actually would drop Lucas as we are too ponderous in midfield

would have gini, can and lallana
up front coutinho, Daniel and firmino
we can then take Daniel off rather than throwing him on

The teams West Ham have beaten at home this season; Bournemouth, Sunderland, Burnley, Hull, Crystal Palace, Swansea and Tottenham. Add that to the fact they have a long injury list and there's absolutely no excuses if we don't win this game. Time for the team to step up and perform.

Impossible not to score for Liverpool with three strikers overwhelmingly at the front line!!!

Probably the most nervous I have been. At least during the title bid's we had or the European exploits we were generally good and you had loads of belief. The fact that we have been limping since January makes this such a difficult extended period to endure.

Its almost over, thank god.

Same, it's horrible and even worse that it's likely that if we miss out on the CL all 5 of our rivals will be in it! Would be really shit that, as if playing catch up isn't hard enough they'd all have an extra 60m + or whatever it is too.

....but would like to start a few wild cards like Grujic for Gini and obviously Sturridge.
----------------------------------Mignolet

TAA-------------------Matip-------------------Lovren------------------Milner

-----------------------------------Lucas

-----------Grujic-----------------------------------------Lallana

Wilson---------------------------Firmino-----------------------------Coutinho
I'm up for a few wild cards too. Let's fucking go for it, get at them from the whistle and shit these c*nts up! The pace of Wilson on a pitch that big would destroy their defence!

We earned similar to what a CL group stage team earned when we got to the Europa League final, so there is some money in that. It certainly doesn't have to limit us.

Maybe it stops us getting certain players but I think thats a convenient excuse for the club. There is no reason why even if we miss out on CL, it has to be some sort of disaster.

Don't like how Klopp has said a draw & win should be enough.

Wrong mindset to go and try to win a game, West Ham have been poor at home most of the season, Spurs is their biggest game so it was no surprise to see the players lift the game last week.

This is very wishful thinking but i'd start with Grujic & Lallana, Grujic coming in for Lucas, Lallana for Origi.

Lets us put Firmino back uptop and Lallana to the right off the three, Thats bearing in mind these doubts over Firmino are not true.

Confident we can win the game anyway.

If both can walk both would be on the bench at the very least? There is only 1 game left after this one.

On the flip side, Lallana and Sturridge for those two could be a blessing in disguise?
