A well earned away victory by Liverpool brought Liverpool to fourth place for a short period of time however Everton's victory over Manchester United brings the gap to three points once again.
With four games to be played for Liverpool they can only keep on going and winning games, their main focus should be on their fixtures. They can not depend on other teams getting the results for them like today. There is points to be won and lost for both sides and it all could come down to the last game between Everton and Bolton. Liverpool have to simply hang on.
Next season the mighty 'pool needs to aim higher than fourth place, walking on thin ice all season and looking to tip toe into the Champions League shouldn't be their goal again, challenging the top three should be their main objective come next season. Both the players and the fans can not give up now, it's not over yet.

Third should be the target next season.

Crystal Palace will be difficult, they will be looking desperately to beat us in order to stay alive in the Premiership, especially after losing today to Blackburn.

agree if the mancs don't do some good business in the transfer market in the summer, then we should batter 'em.

The Palace game is now huge: if they lose that they can kiss goodbye to the Premiership.

JBG I agree and I didn't expect them to stay up, Andy Johnson can only score so many penalties.
The side that wants the three points more will win, we have to be that side. We can not afford to slip up at this point of time.
I agree with Scott, Man Utd are declining and I expect Fergie to be fired in the summer.

not sure if they will sack him, but their dynasty is over.
they are a club on the decline, they will probaly go through a similar period to what we did in the Souness years.

I really don't want to see Steve G to go because ALonso and him could be an awesome force for years to come. But I see the problem as many fans now wouldn't be as upset if S.G leaves cause they see Alonso as a more than adequate replacement for the Skipper. This possesses the problem of SG may get jealous and wanted to leave so that he can be the "man" again. Hopefully things will strengthen out and I'm sure we can even do better than 3rd next year. So, Manuare will be pushed aside as well as Arsenal. Who knows, with a little luck, we might be challenging for 1st in EPL.

Its true we may have the classiest manager around but he can only do so much once the players are on the field it is up to them to perform the way the manager wants them to.
Rafa cant win anything on his own his mentality and way of thinking needs to be installed into the players brains as well as them playing to the best of there ability.
Instead of saying we have the classiest manager we should be saying we have the best team.And all in good time i think we can have that with the aid of Benitez..

He can't be the "man" in Chelsea (as they have Lampard and Terry plus the whole lot of others), nor will he live under the shadow of Keane and Viera if he goes there. Real have too many superstars and are in some sort of decline at the moment. He will stay with us for pride and for his desire to win trophies...unless of course he leaves for £££

Just think what we will have next year, apart from any new signings! A fully fit Alonso, with his quality of distribution, Ciise and Morientes. Luis Garcia putting them into the back of the net regularly. Carragher bossing the centre of Defence. Gerrard (I believe!) accurate passing and darting runs.
I think next year, the backbone of the team (Carra - Alonso - Gerrard - Morientes) will jel together. We just need to replace a few players around them.

I don't mind if its fourth as long as we are within a few points of the leader and not 30 odd points adrift

The Portsmouth away performance was probably the best one away game this season. Why cant we be like that all the time away from home? If we improve our away form next season and keep our home form (which has been pretty good) I can't see why we cant finish 3rd or even mount a title challenge.
