And obviously, I think fifth will probably be enough for the Champions League anyway.
So I think it'll take something pretty dramatic for Liverpool not to get in the Champions League position.
Yeah, Newcastle's a show, but I think top five is going to do it.
And we don't know what's going to happen to Man City.
At some point this season, I would expect the 115 charges to be resolved.
And if City do get punished...
I don't think they're going to be relegated, but they might have a points deduction which could take them out of the top six.
So, overall, I think Liverpool will be okay.
They've got so much firepower, I think he's back at some point, so I still think Liverpool will be okay to finish top four.
I mean, talk about the summer, they spent a lot of money, but they didn't invest in the defence properly.
They brought in a right-back who's not really a defensive right-back, so they are paying a price for not adding to their centre-back options in the summer.
Obviously, the Italian lad that got injured, he was never going to be a regular anyway, 18 years old.
So they missed the trick there by not getting a proper centre-half in Lacombe-Arcway, and they're really paying for it now.
It was one of those where you're thinking, what on earth are you doing there?
In a game like this, it doesn't actually matter overall.
It was a midfielder playing in the defence thinking he can get away with something stupid.
And it was just a crazy thing to do.
It was quite funny looking back at it.
