Take it from Barnes..it is possible as ever. Have faith in BR and the lads. Just win games and be positive. It is worth a shot and no harm trying! Is it a crime to try??
"Good stuff there. I watched 'You're on LFC TV' this Tuesday and that's where this article from. And yes I agreed with most what Didi and Jogn been said. it's all about consistency and apart from United, I think City is actually not so much, every team are pretty much the same but.. "
"the difference, we are well behind Spurs so it's still be pretty much difficlult. I'm still think it will be hard grab top 4 this season but please don't stop to play top football and then, next season when you don't need 4-5 months to wake up but instead play from start and 4 or 3d place will be just there! YNWA!"
"sincerely I believe we have still some chances to enter in the top 4, but the chances are just few! We have to win almost all the games to come and that would be a true feat, not inachievable, but really difficult to fulfil, foremost as it's tough to think that all the 3-4 teams contenders to the 4th spot will drop points all together! "
"BR doing a great job but
please stop all this talk of a top 4 finish. We are in transition and making huge strides but we are more likely to drop silly points as we do not have the strength in depth or enough senior experience this year. "
"Spot on Barnes, the way I look at it is that, we already faced both Manchester team, and we have home games against 4 opponent above us, while 4 of them still need to faces the top 2. The gap? 9 points, I fully believe that it is not that far from possible. YNWA! let's get a run together like we did in the past!"
"TOP 4 is highly, highly unlikely.Top 6 is a stretch. A draw or defeat tomorrow will effectively end our disaster of a season. BR asked for reality at the start of the season,so lets have some at the end."
"gotta admire your spirit and optimism but you have to draw the line somewhere between hope and stupidity.... we can barely string 2 wins together let alone reel in a 12 point deficit... too little too late. as per the last 20 odd years.... and id be more concerned about the mammoth points difference between us and the league leaders!!!!! got a hell of a lot of work to do in the summer Rogers"
"Mathmatically it is possible but still out of our own hands. All we can do is win our own games do this and we have a strong chance but gonna be a big ask. My heart says yes but my head says no."
"I've said this before and I'll say it again here and now. Let's NOT worry about WHERE we Finish at the end of the Season until the end of the Season. Just concentrate on One game at a time a go from there. Come on Reds beat the Baggies on Monday and take it from there. YNWA REDS"
"13 matches to Go and we need at least 30 more pts + beat Spurs at home...
This mean very strong finish...psychologicaly I see next four fixtures decisive...three at home -WB,swansea, Spurs and Wigan away - if we make 12pts then is everything possible."
"I've seen enough in performances this season to know we've got the potential for fourth place, we need discipline at the back and that more oomph in creating chances and putting them away and we'll be there."
"Lack of consistency is the problem that is why as much I would like LFC play in the CL next season I have my doubt because Chelsea,Spurs,Arsenal and Everton have much more realistic chance to finish 3 and 4 respectively however I hope I am wrong ."
"Mathematically it is possible. However, we need to win 10 of the next 13 games including beating spurs and Chelsea at home which is not impossible task."
"first team will have to win game against a top 4 which we would have done by now if want to be top 4 even when we had chances against these teams.we can't beat spurs when v play against them ,when was the last time lfc had won agaist spurs.if we can't beat spurs which is last out of top 4 how can we b top 4?"
"I thought John Bartnes was intelligent! But he insults ours. My dad always said footballers have their brains in their feet. There is no way Liverpool will finish in the top four. I ask a question for those who believe in BR and his philosophy does 29 points behind Manchester United really please you? Everton lost today and they are still ahead. "
"lol lol lol lol. thats the best laugh i've had all season. You were a magician on the pitch JB but please get in the real world. If we dont thump WBA we are in danger of not even making Europa league. 4th is well and truly gone and i wish people would leave it that way so we can just concentrate on playing game by game."
"We dont have the experience in the team never mind the squad to finish off 90 mins so what chance to we have to finish off the run in? If you have to talk JB then tell FSG to start buying some top quality experienced footballers. That would be more of a help."
"TOBEHONEST 19.22, EVERYONE IS TRAILING MAN.U BY AT LEAST 12 POINTS. CHANGE THE RECORD PLEASE AND TRY TO GET BEHIND THE CLUB YOU "SUPPORT" INSTEAD OF HAVING MAN.U OCD !!! "
"Pliz pliz people are we behind our team or what,we shoud surpot the team not being against it,why are you saying we shoud forget 4th and consetrate on next season..."
"Top 4 is out of reach we would need 3 of the 4 teams above us to have a poor finish and us to win pretty much every game. A slow start and silly errors cost us too many points this season. I am hoping that we have a strong finish and show the likes of Suarez that next season we will be competing for at worst 4th place. "
"It's gonna be hard to finish top 4 but at least we see hope this season. I think 5-6 would be a good result for Brendan's first year.
From baidu liverpool tieba Zhi ming tan ge!"
"Because if we forget 4th we might lose europa lg as well,for now lets do the best we can to get there and win our games 1 at a time if we can and see wat happens at the end of the season.YNWA!!"
"there are many pts to play for still so 4th is poss. 3 teams out of chelski, spurs,neverton ARSEnal and ourselves will not make it. so we have as much chance as the other teams if we continue to play our best football. TOBEHONEST & REDSARGE keep your negativity to yourselves. come on redmen 3pts please YNWA"

"We can do it but the good run must include beating Spurs...we desperately need to claw them back - for more reasons than one - and reverse these negative results against them of late.
It would also be such a great confidence boost as well >>> YNWA."
"LFC THRU THICK + THIN You are another young pup without a clue. Why do we pay at the turnstiles to sit so far behind Man Utd! You change your record unless you are happy with the current situation. I am allowed to speak the truth!"
"Hubfan I agree so much with you! Liverpool FC whatever their situation financially, new manager, rebuilding they should be out to win every competition. I lost it with BR when Oldham (who? Oldham!!!) beat us in the FA Cup. Last year under KD we were in the final! "
