Can't be turning up for a quarter of a season and be expecting to finish in the top four. Bar a post World Cup blip, Newcastle have been better than us this season and thoroughly deserve to finish above us. And United might sh*t the bed against good teams but they have an excellent record against the weaker teams which is why they deserve it too. There was a small opportunity to save ourselves after the United win but 2 points from a possible 12 straight after killed it really.
Got to take our medicine and move on. Need the owners to actually stump up some cash, Klopp and co need to be doing better and so do the players we already have to get us back on track next season. I know a lot of people look down on the Europa League but they are opportunities there for us. A chance for the fringe players and kids to impress in the group stages and then hopefully we can have a crack at winning it after Christmas. All four teams above us will spend big this summer so having an extra opportunity to get back into the CL (and win a European trophy too!) could be important.
