P.S. I was reading through RAWK last night and there seemed to be a lot of bedwetting going on regarding the Dippers not getting CL football next season. I think it's being far too pessimistic.
Bedwetting for good reason. You seen our run-in? It's nearly all against teams in the bottom half. And you know how much we arse it up against those teams.
Think Klopp has been too inflexible at times against lower-placed opposition. Playing Palace we went 1-0 up and it was obvious they had a gameplan to sit deeper by packing their own half, absorb pressure away from their box, then hit on the break. After taking the lead we should have dropped deeper to get a stalemate situation - if they then started to come forward, then they leave space. A win last week and i'd have been confident, but now...
We need to stop the Salford spunkstains getting top 4 (I know they've the EL route, but it's a tough comp to win). They're going to throw another quarter-billion at trying to buy the title this summer. And they'll likely chase some of our targets. We need to grab every advantage in the market that we can.
