Genius manager though apparently.

The current owner, John Henry, decided to buy the club because it satisfied the criteria of an investment model that he had learned from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway.
That is to say, he recognised that Liverpool FC was (a) famous (b) cheap and (c) had a lot of obvious room for improvement. "If we could acquire this for the debt, I really feel like we would be stealing this franchise," Henry wrote in an email to his co-investors.


No UK investor both understood the economic potential of the club and had the finance to invest. Henry and his group have seen Liverpool's valuation increase by nearly a billion dollars since they bought it for $500 million in 2010.

Liverpool deserve some credit for their improvement as they are 12 points better off now after 36 games than this time last year.  With Man United putting all of their eggs in the one Europa league basket the only danger left to Liverpool falling out of the top 4 now is Arsenal.

Southampton,Stoke away and Sunderland,Everton at home if Arsenal win all 4 games they will end up with 75 points. Liverpool are currently on 70 points and will have to win both remaining games to keep Arsenal at bay.

To be realistic Arsenal will likely slip up in at least one of their remaining 4 games meaning Liverpool will only need to win one more match or two draws.

The problem with finishing 4th instead of 3rd is a play off round to get into the champions league and Roma,Villarreal and Ajax were all knocked out at the play off stage this season.

If Arsenal are to drop points it will be in one of their next two games( hopefully in both!) they will beat Sunderland handy and I can't see Everton wanting to do Liverpool a favour so they will beat them also. Hopefully Southampton put in the same workrate against them like they did against Liverpool.
Stoke away isn't easy for them either.

I still wouldn't rule out Man United either. The United fans can say they aren't all they want but they are very much still in the top 4 race imo. It may be better off from a Liverpool perspective if United did get to the Europa League final as this would take priority for them. If they are knocked out they could still make 4th imo.
I think Arsenal will find a way to do it though. It wouldn't surprise me to see them win all their remaining games and I don't think Liverpool will win both of theirs.

"Liverpool deserve some credit for their improvement as they are 12 points better off now after 36 games than this time last year."

Lol, Is this serious? Klopp was so poor he took Liverpool to 8th last season and you think he deserves credit for improving on an utterly abysmal season? They could have played without any manager and finished higher than 8th.

[J70]

I wouldn't rule out United yet either.

Plus, West Ham just beat Spurs, a much better team than Liverpool. While Middlesborough are now down and won't have a care in the world when they come to Anfield beyond sitting back and trying to hit Liverpool on the break. Look how a supposed easy game worked out for Hull at the weekend.

I think Liverpool will need more favours from the rest yet.

The Utd manager has ruled them out by resting the players for Arsenal game and effectively throwing it to save players but you wouldnt rule them out. Right so 

Arsenal will drop points somewhere along the line so in reality Klopp needs 3 points from last 2 games against connon fodder. Would have taken that at beginning of season for sure

I'm 100% certain this will come back to bite me in the ass but I thought it was a great tweet.

At the start of United's magnificent unbeaten run they were 6pts behind Liverpool. 26 matches and a Liverpool collapse later, gap closed to 5

Arsenal win. They are going to get 4th.

[The Stallion]

The bizarre spectacle of my fellow Liverpool supporters attempting to downplay Liverpool's top 4 prospects despite it being a near certainty continues.

[Armamike]

Hmmm. Arsenal have a habit of putting a good run together in the last few matches of the season.  Still think they will drop points.  Liverpool will probably balls up one of their last 2 matches and just about fall over the line.

Liverpool's last seven matches against West Ham: one win, two draws, four defeats. Its 1-1-3 in the last five league meetings.

My 10 year old son said earlier that Liverpool will know doubt get beat by West Ham. It's all he knows the poor lad.
