[QUOTE="weasel, post: 542241, member: 14"] I would. I will. Pool will not make the top four this season. No chance. They have less confidence than a spotty, nerdy 14 year old trying to chat up a playboy bunny. To make the top four they will probably need to win 8 of their last 12 games (and pick up a few draws as well). Given they have won 3 of their last 12 and don't look like remembering how to shoot (1 shot on target last night and that was in the 80th minute) any time soon, that's not gonna happen. They haven't scored a goal from open play in TEN HOURS at Anfield. Ten ****ing hours! To go from not losing at home for 2 or 3 years to losing five home games on the spin is one of the biggest turn arounds I can remember. Two of those games are Chslea and City, no shame in losing them, BUT to also lose to Brighton, Burnley and Everton AND all in consecutive games is shockingly bad. They have a run of games against the lesser lights of the PL coming up, but those are the sides who will sit in deny them space, hit them on the counter, and will be happy with a point. Albeit they should be viewing Pool as 3pts for the taking. Pool are still playing their high defensive line, I see the logic as it lets them press higher up the pitch, but when your best DCM is playing CB and your midfield organiser is injured, it's asking for trouble. Just look at how many goals they have shipped as a result of long balls hit over or through the back four for the striker to run on to. The PL lesser lights will be quite happy to sit in and play on the counter. Sadly Jurgen looks fried. Between the clusterfuck that has been this season (whatever team you support, you can't deny Pool have been royally shafted by injuries), COVID and Jurgen's mum's passing, the guy just needs a break. For his own mental well being rather than anything else. I would not be surprised to see him go this summer. I'll be gutted, but he looks exhausted and almost broken. Remember when **** went south at Dortmund it went south VERY quickly and they never looked like turning it around. There are too many similarities at Pool at the minute for my liking. Ohh and for the record, I still think disallowing goals for arm/armpit/pube offside is a joke. That disallowed Chelsea one should have stood. Just in case anyone thinks I only dislike those things when they go against Pool. [/QUOTE]
