Ben White continues to worry me. Ball watching for that Gross chance.

For the third season running we face 3 tough away games in the last 9 games of the run in- this year it is City, Spurs and United. For the third season running, we are a bit short of defensive cover. I am a bit concerned that we will tail off during the run in- for the third season running.

I can't see us getting anything at Anfield.
If Ganpati's {HIM, not me} good luck and fortune were to bless us:

1. Tommy's been looking amazing this season, and having his annual injury in winter means that he won't be injured during the run-in this time 'round.

2. There's a possibility that Timber could be back for the end of the season. Would you want to play someone who's coming back from a long term injury and only has something like 32 mins of PL experience in total during a vital run-in? I dunno.

But if both are fit, we'd have top drawer cover at LB/RB, Inverted Back and CH. Which I think was the plan all along.

What do people think about young Jakob, btw, both at LCH and LB?
