Tooj Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Those two further goals are almost as important as the win itself. Everyone knows we're lacking in character and quality but by all accounts (and this includes when McClaren was in charge) there's a staggering drop in confidence between training and matches. Getting a result like that could do wonders for us. Was bricking it at 1-0 around 75 minutes, looked like they could've won it never mind got an equaliser.

Odear Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Good for the goal difference. could be out the rele zone on tues night. The ONLY thing going for us against city are that they're gonna try and protect key players for the CL semi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 As close as we've been to looking like we can get out of it in absolutely ages. It's possible that we can lose against Man City and Liverpool, then beat Palace (Ugh God, I'm not looking forward to that match) and still go ahead of them. Although Sunderland obviously can too and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they beat Arsenal. Both play Arsenal, so we could really do with them playing at their best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 And they have Chelski match today... ah well. As long as we can keep this half of the squad fit That clean sheet and +3 in goal diff is just as important, only -1 behind Norwich now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do all their exhibition stuff and it might actually free them up to play the football they prefer to play rather than choke like they usually do when they are chasing the title.

Troll Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 We only had 34% possession. Atletico won with 23% possession the other day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 We only had 34% possession. Atletico won with 23% possession the other day. You must have missed my reply: - We only had 34% possession. Ahhhh shit, does that affect the result? Nope. Just proves it means nothing even though McClaren wanted us to keep the ball all the time. Leicester have done alright always having the lower possession stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Wish they'd done that all season. Bar a 10 minte spell I thought we played very well, especially allowing Cork and their centre backs the ball and not allowing Sigurdsson any room. Thought Lascelles was great, although that Paloschi was terrible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The sort of performance I expected Rafa to help us grind out. Was always going to take a few games to sort out, but the hope was we picked up a win or two riding on the wave of his appointment. Just such a shame we forfeited the Stoke and Bournemouth games - he could have had almost another month to work with the side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Out of relegation zone if we beat city. Norwich still above us on goal difference I think. 1 goal separates. Ah my bad, I think the BBC table didn't update right away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Too little too late. But nice to see us actually win. Forgotten what that feels like. The derby and norwich games relegated us. Unless we somehow beat man city the result is almost immaterial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
