If we win the next home match against Spartak, that punches our ticket.

But as of now, no.

Yep, win the next one and we're in...

Hell a draw would make it almost a certainty with how GD stands

Supposedly after the international break (along with Mane).

I can’t wait for Lallana to be back on the pitch! Read the same, he and mane should be back after the international break. I’ve said it once but I’ll say it again, damn I can’t wait to see Lallana and Salah playing together!

So if we can replace Can:

Emre Can set to leave Liverpool (LINK)

With Goretzka:

Goretzka available on a free transfer from Schalke (LINK)

I'd call that an upgrade.

It would be a shame to lose Emre for free, especially since we've nurtured his development over the past 3 1/2 years... and someone else will get his best years on a free..

I think he's a talented player, though he can be inconsistent... That being said, unless he's used as a #6, I think he'll be kinda wasted... I gotta trust Klopp, but I think Hendo/Can roles should be reversed.. which would make hand a rotation player, but thats fine..

Goretzka on a free would lessen the blow, but no reason we couldn't have both...

Would definitely hate to lose Can. But also feel like the club is taking a stance on something they feel strongly about and Can may not be worth changing that stance.

I'm also not sold we have a chance for Goretzka - he will have his pick of teams basically, and we may not look like a lock for CL next season by the time he chooses his destination.

I do think Klopp needs to find a true CDM - which Can is not currently and may never be able to become.

What we'll miss with Can is a combination of size, power, and guile that occurs from our midfield. We don't have another midfielder close to that combination right now. Look at the goal the other day - hendo can't do that. Wij can't do that.

Keita will help off-set Can, but we definitely need some more top talents in midfield.

Today is huge! With several of the top 4 challengers playing eachother - notably what I think are the two most likely to finish behind us facing the top 2 - 3 points is a must to potentially get to their point total. Wouldn't mind a Spurs loss while were at it.

Us Auburn Liverpool fans have a conflict of interest in telecast timing today dammit.

So y'all won't be getting my brilliant commentary during the match today as I'm recording it and will be watching after the Auburn game.

I'm sure y'all will miss me.

Very attacking and dangerous lineup. I’m pretty shocked Mané and Wij are both starting.

Now this means Mané is sure to play 180 minutes over international break

This is the first time I’ve really watched the pregame show but holy shite are they going full blown extremist. “OMG Burnley’s 3 points ahead”

We obviously haven’t been great, but we’re about to hit a run of very winnable games with Chelsea being the only exception and after the international break we should (crosses fingers) be nearly at full strength from a heath standpoint for the first time this season. Not to mention we’re not even a third of the way through the season yet.

There’s my optimism for the day. Now don’t go out and lay an egg proving me wrong

Looks like we’re kind of in a 4-4-2 to start with Mané and Ox on the wings and Salah close to Firmino up top

I’m not sure Wij or Can have made a forward pass yet

Salah may be the best piece of business we've done since Klopp became manager
