3 Liverpool 5 2 1 2 14 5 9 7
4 Besiktas 5 2 0 3 4 13 -9 6

Any of the 4 can now go through, shall be interesting.
 
It has turned out that way DM but it really shouldnt have, we have scored 14 and concided 5 and we still have to win the last game, no other result will do. But a win may well get us top of the group aswell.

The table is right davidh, it goes on head to head before goal difference and Marsielle have beat us, that why we need to win there as a draw only gives us the same points as them and again their head to head would beat us.
 
What if we draw and Besiktas surprise Porto?
 
Then Besiktas with 9 points and Marseille with 8 points will go through

So we could have drawn tonight, it wouldn't have made any difference. Still, it's good for morale.

I thought that too but Porto would also have 8 points and a better record against Marseille so surely they would go through, however Porto dont have a better record against Liverpool so how does that work?
 
Out of the other teams whovever has the best head to head goes through if the suprise from Besktas comes off and the draw from Liverpool happens.

Obviously in that case Liverpool will be out of it, so find out the head to head from the other two.

EDIT:

Sorry Ice, were you talking about the 3rd 4th place? I never looked at that one. Do we still have 3rd into Uefa?

4-1 was a flattering result. Thought we were nervous most of the game and if we play like that in Marseille then we will go out. Will have to play more like we did against Newcastle.

In a 3 way tie do you calculate the points that each team took off the other two and whoever has the best qualifies which would make it Porto.

If thats the case it is better for Liverpool as Marseille will need to go out and win as a draw would be no good to them
 
Forget the calculations we need to win or we're out. I reckon after our 8-0 and 4-1 wins we should have this 3-1 or better!
