Relax guys, we're 5th in the league!

Yep, they will tear us apart. More tough games to come, it's lucky we have just about enough points already to ensure safety. It's a shame there's no winter break for RoKo and the players, the games will come thick and fast, and I can't see us stopping the rot anytime soon. Anyone for a top 6 finish? Lol

How often does any team do that? Even teams in the Championship are putting out weakened sides. The fact is we have very few options and very little quality beyond our first 11. At the start of the season, we had luck on our side, I got shot down for suggesting there are 8 or 9 better teams in the league than us. Now we are starting to see how good we really are.

Awful again, incredible how a season can change in a few weeks. Might as well bring a few of the u21s into the fold now that we have nothing to play for.

Think they will fall just short. Swansea would be contenders but their away form isn't good enough. The sad truth is that the top 6 will probably be the same as last season. Everton are starting to catch up and should beat us on Saturday.We all like to laugh at their expense, but Spurs and Liverpool will be clear of us in the table by the turn of the year. But then again, with their resources they should be.

They've played some good stuff this season, have beaten the top sides and have good attacking options. Would expect them to finish around 10 points above us, they have a chance to finish top 6

Thought he looked a handful even in the cup game last season. We are really only playing with one central striker in the squad, it's simply not sustainable for a season. We should have made a move for him in the summer, I'd certainly try in January

There will be a meltdown. We've been given a lucky draw, we have a great chance to progress. Our focus should be on this competition, we should still be able to win another 9 or 10 games in the league to finish top 10.

There's nothing to lose faith in. We're not world beaters, we will lose games, even to the likes of Burnley. There's no need for a meltdown, it's been a good season so far

Why so much hate towards Mayuka? Mane is no better

There's only going to be a couple more weeks of people saying we're fifth. We are on a slide down the table, it's clear to see. The likes of Liverpool and even Spurs will be clear of us by the turn of the year.There are more tough games to come over christmas. 8th/9th will be a good finish. Sadly, there are at least 8 teams who are better than us. Top half and a cup would be a great season.

Our league campign is over in terms of european qualification, so we need to go all out for this game. Confidence will be low, we might just edge it 2-1

If Schneiderlin leaves, the whole team will fall apart

What was everyone expecting? 8th would be a good finish for us, there are at least 8 better sides than us in this league. We have done well, but just over performed for the first 11/12 games. Anyone who thinks we can finish top 6 now is deluded. The last few weeks have proved that there is still a glass ceiling that can't be broken through. There's no need for meltdown, just a realisation that we have about the 8th/9th best squad in the league. Let's be happy with what we've got. There's sadly nothing to play for in the league, we've got a nice run in but too many tricky games before. We have a massive opportunity to win the League Cup. Hooefully RoKo switches his focus now and goes all out.

To be honest you don't look anymore stupid than those of us who thought we might finish in the top 6, myself included. We have plenty of points but there are at least 8 better teams than us in this league. I'd be happy with 10th and a cup final

We just over-performed at the start. We're not sh1t, just not as good as a lot of us thought. I said a couple of weeks ago that a top half finish will be an incredible achievement that we should be happy with.

Back to reality. Forget the league now, it's done. Let's focus on the League Cup now

Massive opportunity missed. Our good fortune has dried up. Would expect Burnley to go on and win this now

Big half time team talk by RoKo needed. Anything less than 3 points and our top 6 hopes will be over

Very poor so far, can see Burnley winning this

Not getting enough protection? I thought he has the defensive midfield powerhouse, the one and only Mr Liverpool Steven Gerrard to protect him?

Any win will do, if we perform like we did monday then we should create plenty. One thing's for certain, Mane can't be any worse if he plays. If he finds a team mate with even one pass, it will be an improvement! I can't see either Liverpool or Spurs winning tomorrow so we need to increase the gap over them.

We created plenty of chances againt United. If we play with the same intensity we had for the first hour then the goals should come. Burnley 1-3 Saints (Pelle hat trick)

Adrian Chiles at full time 'that was painful viewing even for the neutral'. It was anything but, it was hilariously entertaining

It's fine arguing that there's plenty of games left. Ive mentioned the games against the bigger sides, but are we realistically going to take maximum points from the likes of west ham, swansea, stoke, sunderland and hull second time around? Because that's what we will need to do.
