But Liverpool have been Top 4 ever since I can remember and thusly have the experience of getting through a season without running out of steam. They'll be especially motivated because non-qualification for Champions League is unthinkable for Liverpool.
I know but what I mean is that they've rarely been under pressure to fight for their position & when they did come under pressure they blew it. They had the ball in their court when we drew that game against them, with a comfortable run in & Torres/Gerrard coming back they had it all for the taking but have looked nowhere near it
.
I wonder if our games v Villa & Spurs will be the deciders, assuming all 3 of us will drop the odd bollock in other games, those '6 pointers' could decide it.
I do agree once again with You. 6 points games will be deciders, cause all contenders will probably drop pts vs. relegation battlers.
Altough, in the most hidden place of the beast You are shy to unveil [... :-) ], I am pretty sure You have noticed that we clashed vs. pools without both the Chelsea's deciders (Carlito & Bellers)... just one of them flanked to Ade and Rafa's barricades would had imploded...
I also wonder whether dirty Harry shall come to CoMS with that sparkling 4-4-2... Hope so!
