If Liverpool miss out on the Europa Lge to Spurs, would it be a good or bad thing to their title aspirations?

obviously it would help their chances. More time to rest and recover from knocks. Wont go into games having played three days before. . It was said by one commentator that it might not be a good thing to get that spot. Tottenham are not a title contender. . Liverpool could be with a couple more signings here and there.
