Lallana is back in full training tomorrow. It's a massive, massive boost for our chances. We can all see without him and Mane we're toiling and struggling to move the ball as quickly as we can. It's also gonna be a domino effect with Can moving back to his best position. We are in a much better position now to play much better football than we have recently, it should go a long way to boosting our chances of getting best possible results these last 4 games.
As much as I'm still in the "doubt we will do it" group, one thing worth considering is the congestion of Utd's fixture list. They have A LOT of games of play in a very short space of time. Knowing them, that could mean a few 0-0 draws. Let's just hope those are in a few games they're expected to win!
I think United will draw a lot of games. I can't see them beating Spurs, or Arsenal unless those teams arses explode.I can see them drawing against Swansea or Southampton however.
Lallana will be a boost but we really needed Sturridge to stay fit to at least give us some options going forward. Origi looks useless at the moment and another attacking option was imperative.
I agree he looked useless but think Lallana's return will have a double impact, Can will be back to his best position and Gini will profit from having another genuine pass and move midfielder next to him (let's not forget we played our best football this season with Gini and Lallana in front of Can/Henderson). So if we just move the ball quicker in midfield there will be good chances for Origi and one thing he showed that he's not so bad at taking good chances away. I'm not surprised any striker would struggle with Lucas - Can - Wijnaldum midfield. Against Palace we practically played the same as we did vs Stoke and Wba.
I think there is a chance Origi or even Lallana starts from the bench just to give us an option later.
All I know is that this business is causing sleepless nights. Hoping like fuck we can scrape through.
They will beat Swansea and Saints. Southampton have lost to all the top teams bar us and Swansea are awful.
Likewise. Literally.
Watford are not a very good team anything less than 3pts is a disaster.
I'd be much more worried had they not won their last 3 home games without conceding a single goal. But even then it really depends on which version of our defence turns up on the day.

Southampton aren't playing badly at all despite what the scoreline currently suggests. Will give United and ourselves a game at least.
Spurs may have nothing to play for by the time they face Utd, no chance of the title and no risk of finishing 4th and pre-qualifiers.
Chelsea play Everton at Goodison soon, and Chelsea don't have a good record there lately. So could possibly lose there.
If Spurs lose tomorrow they're done.
We could be done for too. If they do lose tomorrow then they'll be on the Spursy Beach before they play the Mancs.
I would honestly let Wijnaldum jizz in my face right now
Spurs will want to finish as strongly as they can
I seem to remember Spurs collapsing last year when the title fell out of reach. Third in a two horse race and all that.
Quite apart from the top four, it's really important that somebody beats Utd soon. I don't want them carrying a thirty-match unbeaten run into next season.
They're unbeaten in 9 in all comps.
Being a Liverpool fan has knocked at least 30 years off my life expectancy
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker
They've hardly been all that convincing, I can see them losing to City.
