Speaking on the Wrighty’s House Podcast, Ian Wright has claimed that it’s possible that Liverpool can drop out of the top four this season.
The Reds have been in torrid form as of late, and they look very vulnerable at the moment, and the ex-Arsenal striker believes that the Merseyside club could end up finishing outside of the Champions League places.
“Dare I say something, can Liverpool drop out of the top four?” Wright said.
“If we’re talking about it like we are talking about it right now, we’re just conceptualising what could happen. This is a chat that I would like to have, but the only difference is that I’ve not got a Guinness with me.
“The fact is, the way Liverpool are playing now, and the attitude of other teams going to play them, every single game is going to be momentous for them in respects of getting it done.
“So, when you look at Chelsea’s form, West Ham’s form and Everton’s form, and you never know what’s going to happen at Tottenham all of a sudden Harry Kane’s back somebody out of there is going to drop out.”
As much as Liverpool fans will hate to hear it, Wright is right.
The Reds’ mystique and aura has seemingly vanished and teams like Brighton and Burnley are now able to go to Anfield without any far, and that’s a worrying prospect.
Are Liverpool good enough to get top four? Of course they are, but with their squad being ravaged by injuries, their form being on the floor and their only being 15 games to go, it’s a distinct possibility that they miss out if Jurgen Klopp can’t figure out how to turn things around.
