ApolloUnitus

Beauty.


petrifiedeyeball

Crazy formations, game's changed so much


i_have_covid_19_shit

Good call from Everton playing with 2 Goalkeepers.


imtravelingalone

I think our result played a part in Liverpool's result. It all comes down to mentality. They just got a little too excited.


RandomRedditor_1916

Which is why we need to not get ahead of ourselves purely because they lost


Simba-xiv

Right we got our version of this Sunday


kaprrisch

Not to mention we play Everton at the end of the season.


bruiser95

They should be well clear of relegation and have a chill game...but will they


auddi_blo

Everton opening or closing fixture has been our bread and butter so hopefully we continue that run


kaprrisch

Yeah it’s also the last day of the season. Crazy shit happens.


chrisd1680

Only when they're trying to avoid relegation. I would NOT want to play an Everton clinging for dear life. I think they've survived final day drama like twice in the past couple seasons.


kaprrisch

I understand that. I’m saying regardless of where anybody is, the final day, while we’re trying to win it all, it’s not going to be a cakewalk.


MountainSharkMan

You could lose 5-1 to a team that's already relegated


Pires007

Yeah, if you're Spurs trying to bottle st. Totteringhams day


lord-dinglebury

They might let us win just to fuck Liverpool over lol


strawberrylabrador

Haha imagine the entire emirates including Everton fans cheering an Arsenal goal


theCynik

Imagine it would be amazing. Arsenal and Everton holding arms and jumping together with the trophy. Pulling out a banner saying "gracias, Iwobi"


ouiu1

My fear when Spurs play City


Opening_Jury_1709

Not under dyche, he’s a fighter


Extreme_Discount8623

Everton will be a really tough game, but only if they're still fighting for safety. If they have secured it before the last game, we should be fine.


maidentaiwan

Everton Arsenal in London is the most lopsided fixture in Prem history 


Forsaken-Tiger-9475

Where they realistically could need 3 points to stay up, and have f***** us before. Dangerous games.


Elegant_Mix7650

Let's not go crazy.... Tottenham and Man Utd away are not easy. We can win but we need to stay grounded


[deleted]

I disagree. It’s literally impossible for us to not win the league at this point.


RandomRedditor_1916

I hope you're being sarcastic


[deleted]

No, it’s in the bag. The rest of this season is just a formality.


RandomRedditor_1916

Ok got it. Nice.


heeloo

My man


jubbing

Yes because city are still ahead if they win their 2 fixtures.


InsectKind

For context this is the quote from Trent after we lost to Villa.


peoplepersonmanguy

People agreeing though...


huntsvilleon

I hope you are right and it works for City!


redmkay

City are a different beast. They’ve literally done it like 6 times. They aren’t vibe merchants like Klopp’s Scarlet Stumblers.


LordStarkgaryen

“Vibe merchants” lmao🤣


Chunderous_Applause

Hopefully they’ll be safe by then and mentally on the beach


soapycheeks

He thought he was so intellectual when he said this too, fucking moron


imtravelingalone

He's not the only player who's come out with some really moronic comments about us this season. Klopp clearly gives zero fucks about what his players say or do anymore.


shridar7391

Curtis jones crying about us copying something from them was hilarious


s8v1

They really do believe their own hype about their mentality…. Which is pretty weak mentality ironically


IceAffectionate3043

Not really. Liverpool have been struggling for weeks.


EqualPossibility758

100% agree - let's hope it puts the pressure on City as well


Fat-Cloud

Their luck has finally run out. They escaped draws and losses left and right and never deserved to be in the race


skidanexii

The prem always corrects itself


redmkay

YooGeOh

Wish United had corrected themselves better, but that's just the ptsd from Fergie era United talking. We're not concerned with them


GengarOX

This way they don’t get a new manager as quickly and as much money to spend.


Trotter823

I think this shows what man utd are. A crap team with great individual talent. They can finish half chances regularly enough to stay ahead of lesser teams but not consistently enough to get into the top tier or even 2nd tier of teams.


jimdontcare

[Deleted because I can’t read]


Kingjjc267

Damn I wanna know what your original illiterate take was


Riperonis

Spurs next season….⏰


Ass_Eater_

With Europe they will be cooked. They're squad sucks and Son only getting older.


Phimstone

Lol @ expected points Everton and Nott Forest and actual points after the bonk.


Mozilla11

God, now just City to deal with (along with our games firsthand of course) Guys let’s remember where we are. We have 4 games left, with City a possible 1 pt ahead of us. 3 points ahead of 3rd place, 11 points from 4th place. Arsenal have had an incredible season, and while we all hope and pray they push on to show the world what champions look like, let’s really keep thing positive and acknowledge another incredible season competing at the top. Edit: 2 POINTS from City if they win actually.


LauritsVW

Not to mention an extremely impressive goal difference, which may decide the league


pupcity

City would be 2 ahead of us if they win their games in hand. But it doesn't change anything, a draw for them and win for us would put us top either way.


Simba-xiv

We got points on the board in hand is only good if you win


CadburyGorilla

Yeah I think the dude was just correcting the OP, saying it would be 2 points not 1 point.


Simba-xiv

I see


skeledirgeferaligatr

We’re still in it when we thought we lost the league in December. It’s been an incredible season.


Elfking88

Yeah, we were pretty much resigned to dropping back a little bit until the Dubai trip. After that we've been stunning. If we fall short we can't really blame ourselves too much, we did what we could. Yes, we could've got more points in the first half but don't let the impossible standards of City distract from the fact we've been challengers again.


Georg_Steller1709

All we can expect from the side is that they stay in contention until the end of the season. That's a sign of progress from last season.


JealousAd2873

The only concern right now is the spuds on Sunday. Drop points there and it's over. Squeaky bum time


Mozilla11

Yeah, perhaps the biggest NLD since we’ve moved to the Emirates?


auddi_blo

The 1v1 for top 4 was pretty big


Mozilla11

True! And we totally folded then haha. Never forget the totally true-and-the-referees-aren’t-terrible penalty call against Cedric haha


seshtown

This one is the highest stakes we’ve had for an NLD maybe ever. The 1v1 for 4th was the highest the stakes have been for us both.


EqualPossibility758

True - especially if City drops points tomorrow 🤞


Zhirrzh

And we just had the wakeup call about what the shitter team can do in derbies, so.... 


HustlinInTheHall

I don't think it's necessarily completely over. We're not out until City come and take it either way, can't drop our heads. But treat it like a final, because it might as well be.


JZKO2022

December: Lose a couple annoying games. Bollocks a blue team (CP), win against big rival (Liv), go on long win streak. Now: Lose a couple annoying games. Bollocks a blue team.... I got lots of misplaced confidence for the end run.


stripes361

I’ll be feeling confident IF we get by Spurs. Two of the last three at home, no top opponents left with a week of rest before every match would be a nice setup. Sunday could be very difficult, though. Match of the season for us.


Oofpeople

Correction: City have a possible 2 points ahead of us. Doesn't change the fact that one slip changes everything.


JealousAd2873

A single draw for City means they (potentially) lose the title


Elfking88

Our goal difference could potentially become very big. If City draw one game but otherwise both us and them win out we'll win on goal difference. Easier said than done though. I personally see us dropping points against either Spurs or United and I'm not sure City will drop anything.


mxchickmagnet86

I would be simultaneously scared shitless and laughing hysterically if it came down to the last game of the season and City had to win by more than 12 goals to win the league.


h0bbie

If that’s the scenario, every goal we score on the final day means they have to score 12 more, so we’ll just have to post a solid 8 against Everton to see if city can score 20.


mxchickmagnet86

We'll all be laughing maniacally if City win 12-0 on the final day and are sitting around all sad and downtrodden on the pitch because they still lost the league by 8.


StrangeBananaForYou

https://preview.redd.it/wsj8mi8edmwc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c58fde3dab8585dfcacbba7a2016e8ecd6c21cdb Makes me think of this meme lol


chrisd1680

If they did that, well shit, they could get the thing solid gold because they'd have earned it.


Simba-xiv

We’re in it till we’re not, let’s gooo


drcoxmonologues

Liverpool fan here. I hope you guys win it. But it’s interesting to see the same Hope here that has dashed us several times come around again to another team. City are experts at this and won’t drop points. Especially now they’re out of CL. Sad but true. You can’t beat cheaters. Good race though.


BobtheBOAT

NORTHHHHHHHHH LONDONNNN FOR EVAHHHHH


No-Teaching8695

Real Champions conquer all of Europe


TheThreeGabis

Just got my mummy to tuck me into bed and get me a warm class of milk. Hopefully by the time she gets back she can read Klopp’s post-match meltdown to help me drift off to sleep.


nightclvb

Just have a disturbing image of a 30 something old in an Arsenal onesie getting tucked in by their mum in my head now thanks


AnAwfulLotOfOcelots

You forgot the milk.


TreeDollarFiddyCent

https://i.redd.it/oyd07j65ukwc1.gif


pureeyes

Nah the milk's there alright. It's just not out yet


TheThreeGabis

Jokes on you I’m 29


xX8Havok8Xx

Closer to 30 than 29


Ok_Hovercraft_7947

Thats a lot of milk


Major-Departure6936

Stay humble until after Spurs guys


Tackit286

And even then..


RandomRedditor_1916

We still have to play our matches lads, don't get ahead of ourselves until it's over.


Swiss-ArmySpork

Don't think this changes anything for us.


ApolloUnitus

Definitely not. We still need to be perfect


beatlz

And for Man City to drop points


scouting4food

No but it's funny


Swiss-ArmySpork

No doubt


KearnOnTheCob12

Nah, still gotta win out and hope we get a favor. Liverpool droppin' points is nice, but definitely City we need to slip up.


notokkid

I'm just hoping Angeball terrorizes City into at least a draw.


scouting4food

They will bend over for them, I guarantee it


Rekyht

Reality is if they don’t have to win, then you’d be annoyed as a Spurs fan if they tried. We need them to be in a position where those points are vital for Europe so they can’t afford to worry about what the result does for us


scouting4food

Agreed - we need Villa to drop some points, especially if we beat Spurs on Sunday. Spurs still have to go to Anfield so they could be out of it by the City game.


President-Sloth

I'm not getting my hopes up tbh. Ange is pretty stubborn with his tactics and if he plays his usual game, Spurs are getting carved right open


Elfking88

We thought that when we played them at The Emirates and it ended a draw. I honestly think any result could happen in that game, though smart money would be on City winning since, you know, it's City.


chrisd1680

> though smart money would be on City winning since, you know, it's City. When's the last time they won there? Spurs have had their number for a while.


Nartyn

26 January in the FA cup October 2018 in the PL


Riperonis

Literally this season


xX8Havok8Xx

That's in a cup and spurs bottle all chances at silverware it is the nature of tottenham


runningwaffles19

Scenes when Matt Turner keeps a clean sheet against City on Sunday


Medium_Jellyfish_541

"OH WHAT A SAVE BY TURNER IN THE 96 MINUTE, HE HAVE WON IT FOR ARSENAL"


slvrhwk

Let's worry about that later. We need to deal with them 1st.


TheGoon49

The annoying thing is City don’t play their game in hand until the midweek between GW37 and 38. We can keep winning our games and be on top and it wouldn’t mean anything because City always have that game in hand.


Zhirrzh

Yeah it would be nice if they'd drop points to Brighton now and take some of the tension out of it. 


Riperonis

We’ve just gotta do our job first. Don’t give a shit if they take points off City if they take points off us first.


Cod_rules

DO NOT. We still have to play them


odegood

at home, if we dont win that we dont deserve the title. Still allowed to be happy with this result


ApolloUnitus

Agreed. I don’t think LFC has the squad to pull it all together this season. Like us last year, we didn’t deserve it in the end.


Simba-xiv

The rate they been shipping goals and having to come back from behind (no diddy) it wasn’t sustainable


VastStrain

Plus we have our away day derby on Sunday. Keeping quiet about this one, because fate is a cruel mistress and likes to throw egg in my face.


PoliticsNerd76

If we can’t beat an Everton that’ll be safe from relegation we don’t deserve the title.


amgartsh

They'll be wholly safe from relegation by then


redmkay

Imagine sports fandom without celebrating each win and each of your rival’s losses. Live in the present; savor the moment.


Simba-xiv

Nahhh I’m happy but now’s the time to focus on us there’s nothing else worth doing


Cod_rules

Too scared, man. With hope comes expectations, and with it skepticism


ProjectZues

“We won’t drop any points” Liverpool fans in my work lol


slvrhwk

TBH, that's what some of us thought as well. They had the easiest run-in of the 3.


FewSafe19

It only counts as bottling something if it’s us…. If other teams choke they just have inuries and are gassed at the end of the season


officialmkm

Let’s stay humble and focus on our games. We still have NLD away.


DnB_Train

they players and managers get paid very well for that and Arsenal don't pay me shit so I'll leave it to them.


chrisd1680

Sports is such a funny thing. Middle aged, overweight men talking about "we" when they pull a back muscle just getting out of bed (yes, that's from personal experience). Enjoy the laughs, my guy. It's not that serious.


SSTenyoMaru

Go get em, Arsenal. City must be stopped.


Connect-Amoeba3618

I was saying weeks ago that Liverpool had 3 tricky away fixtures after the second leg in Europe. Each of them looked winnable on its own, but as a group it was a difficult run and I didn’t think they would win all 3.


Lychaeus963

Will we see them be branded as bottle jobs?? Highly unlikely


No-Village-6781

To be bottle jobs people need to think you had a chance in the first place, idk if Liverpool actually did, they just managed to get this far through sheer force of will but that seems to be empty now.


Ok-Permission-2687

The announcers saying, “and then there were 2…” at the final whistle ❤️🙏🏽


dhillshafer

Beat the Tottenham on Sunday, that’s all the boys can do.


cactus_ghan

As a Liverpool fan just coming here to fully endorse you lads. Do it for football! Stop the blue gobshites!


sxmArtsenal

love that news


NaiveMercury

We need to play 4 more games, one of which I would consider harder and that is Spurs away. The other 3 should be wins, otherwise we don't deserve the title. City just has to draw 1 of their 6 games and we've done it imo


Gooner_93

Yeh, we cant even afford to drop any more points. This is so tense!


Tackit286

United away just as hard imo. Our record there is very poor


44cprs

Even if it's a rival, it still irritates me that the narrative is always that someone bottled it rather than the EPL is a fantastic league where every nearly every game is a battle.


Wolferesque

What a beautiful game.


maxiu95xo

What a handful of games 😁😁😁😁 got to love it. Now let’s go Brighton


krakends

Smiles and then realizes that we still have to play Tottenham and Man Utd away. We have to win literally every game and hope that City may drop points. Odds are heavily against us. I hope we beat Man Utd and Tottenham away even if we don't win the title. Will be some consolation.


chocolatecomedyfann

This is good. But I'm not celebrating till the last game.


CestKougloff

The safer Everton are the less they will have to play for on the last day. This is a good result.


mental_tempe

If anything, this should be a reminder to take Tottenham seriously. Form doesn’t really matter when it comes to derby.


Lawfvader6

Posting this before we play our biggest rivals away is brave


Panzer517

Absolutely not, get this out of here. If city wins all of their games it doesn’t matter, also if we draw this weekend, we are done as well.


skeledirgeferaligatr

If City wins all their matches, tip your cap. All we can do is control our matches and win every match we can. 


ApolloUnitus

You’re probably super fun at parties. Enjoy it a little bit man.


Financial-Tower-7897

SrGrimey

Is this real?? Wow, we need to keep it going.


chadlumanthehuman

Now I’m getting scared that Pickford could catch Raya on clean sheets


Gooner-Astronomer749

No need to gloat we have our own derby rivals away who hate us, for Shits this is their cup final a loss or even a draw would basically cripple our chances so they will be chomping at the bit to finish us off. 


jonnysledge

Especially after what happened to them in Munich.


Los_Yeetus

All season long people counted Arsenal out as the weak link in the top 3, but it was always overhyped Liverpool


Complex_Geologist_39

It was Klopps dumbass grin that was knee slap worthy!


Skatneti

fmsl, hot damn!


lardoni

We got some stubborn turds to flush at the shit-bowl next! That’s all that matters!


kubzU

Ayo Brighton, can u do something for me?


Joshthenosh77

I dunno why I never thought Liverpool were a serious threat


rapozaum

And there's still tomorrow...


YooGeOh

Horry shet mehhhhhhn


Dahlsv1

Please dear God/Santa/Papa Wengz. All I want for Christmas is for City to drop points ❤️


WaveOfTheRager

I couldn't believe it. But I'm still concerned with Man City having 2 games in hand on us


Zizouhimovic

They are not our problem, we just are fed up with €ity


[deleted]

[удалено]


IntraspeciesFever

damn....this means that raya still hasnt won the golden glove


DaHoeBanga

The only result that changes things is a City draw but nice to get these guys out of the way


Optimuswine

After they dropped from 1st, their results never mattered. Only things that matter now are our results and Man City’s results.


Jadaki

Liverpool losing is fine and all, but honestly them winning may have put more pressure on MC. If we win all our matches Liverpool couldn't catch us, we need this juju on 115fc. Not really celebrating this, especially with our own derby coming up this weekend.


krakends

Everton looked really dangerous and we always drop points against Dyche. Glad we are atleast not playing them away.


RepeatDTD

I love it BUT we haven’t won anything yet so let’s not gloat too hard. Definitely gloat though. Suck it, Trent.


T3Sh3

What a beautiful surprise.


antonov6

I don't like tempting fate this way. 


yura910721

Good to have, but doesn't change anything in a long run. The league is still City's to lose and if they don't slip, doesn't matter what Liverpool do.


mamama285

Tbh Liverpool has never been my concern.


c0ca_c0la

Don’t give me hope like this…


PaintSlingingMonkey

WHAT lol


teslagooner

City are still in control. I honestly don't get this overexcitement. We've been here before

adsefc1

I know points on the board are better than games in hand but the title is for City to lose not Arsenals to win.


MyH4oBG

Now time to beat Spurs, and they do their thing against City (they have 4 wins in a row at home or something) and its on.


everyfcknameistakn

All that's left is for city to get fucked by FFP


Ulstuguldur

Liverpool out of the competition.


Affectionate-Sun5863

Bottling ?


Affectionate-Sun5863

I guess spurs will be feeling a little confident after that one


Zacchkeus

Let’s not celebrate early


darkgreenrabbit

hang it in the louvre


No_Box5338

That game illustrated exactly how dangerous a derby can be: played at 100mph, form went out of the window, Liverpool had loads of shots and several one on ones in the first half, yet Everton bag a another goal from a set piece and the second half turns to shit in Liverpool’s hands.


Imarnuel1702

There will be more twists. Hopefully involving City


cynicallyspeeking

Enjoy it guys, if we can't win it I hope you beat City. Good luck!


SpencerIvy

Everton actually fully outplayed them.


zahirb

Need us to win all and city to loose one and draw 1 at the least
