  1. He’s right.

    There’s almost zero chance we win the CL, we’re absolutely nowhere near good enough.

    We might, however, just about be good enough to scrape 5th place and make sure we’re in it next season.

    I’d say they’re equally important. As shite as we have been, I’ll always believe we can win any game, not saying this as a “top red” or whatever, it’s just how I feel.

  3. Both are road to UCL for next season.. So equally important, but yeah, PSG route is so much more difficult..

    It’s 100% correct.

    It’s more important to get CL football for next season than to overcommit to try to beat PSG, fail and then be exhausted in the PL.

  5. He’s trying to take some of the pressure off. But I doubt Gerrard would’ve have had that opinion against Juventus in 2005.

  6. Eh I get his point but it’s a cup competition and worse teams have gotten over the line. Second leg is Anfield so it’s not the worst thing in world if lost tomorrow if keep the deficit low. We’re seriously up against it obviously but it’s doable 

  7. Exactly. No chance we win the UCL. Even if we magically got by PSG, we cannot compete with the likes of Barca or Bayern either.

    I hate how the sub WANTS us to lose. How can people think that we have no chance? Inter Milan made the finals twice in the last 3 years. Dortmund made a final. Both those teams were absolutely not the favorites to even make the semi’s. Effing Tottenham made the finals once. Have some hope for once. Especially since the match hasn’t even happened yet

    Yes, he’s right.

    Better to get some points against tricky Fulham and try to keep the 5th place finish in the league, because if the other English teams do well we’ll qualify for the CL again by virtue of the extra qualifying slot becoming available.

    We have a very small chance to beat PSG and go ahead, but it’s anyone’s guess as to what the team will do.

    He’s right. We won’t win the CL. If we don’t get top 5 we are on a slippery slope. Arresting this shit show has to start with that.

    Yeah, we seem to be incapable of winning two games in a row. A positive result tomorrow means we drop points against Fulham. Winning over the weekend certainly means we are out of the champions league, hard seeing both.

  12. Yeah get your arse kicked out of Champions league just so you can get in again next year…
