Dan Gleebals Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just having these players on the training pitch will have a big impact, even if they don't play this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, simply being in a position where 5th, tho hugely improbable, is still possible is outrageous in itself. Would be orgasmic, given the circumstances. 2 teams that dumped us out of the "Group of Death" into the semi-final, I see 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) On 15/04/2024 at 15:49, Coffee_Johnny said: Odd observation, despite the disappointments of this season, our points per game (ppg) at the moment, 1.47, is the same as when we finished 5th under Robson (2003-04). Though Pardew’s 5th (2011-12) and Keegan’s 6th place finish (1994-95) were both at 1.71ppg. If we stay at 1.47ppg or better, then Eddie’s first two full seasons would both be in our top 8 finishing positions/performances in the PL era. Also, his first full ‘half season’ (last 19 games of 2021-22) returned a ppg of 2.00; we’ve only bettered that once 2.05ppg, Keegan 1995-96. Not too shabby, Eddie! We finished 5th with 50 something points iirc. 60 points is 6th/7th in most seasons. This season 6th will be 61-65 points most likely.

Zero Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I just hope we can keep the defence effort up and don’t go back to the days where we just gift opponents free cheap goals like primary school students As long as the defence is fine, we would be heading to the right direction, no matter we are 5th or 6th or even 10th.

In spite of being very keen to finish as high as possible, this is me too. More interested in performances at the moment - which have definitely turned a big corner. The results will take care of themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Little puff piece for our end of season Australia trip. Decent watch though. The Tottenham game might end up being quite spicy depending on how this season finishes up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Some interesting #data here: We are absolutely fantastic when we are ahead. Literally better than Man City. We are down there with the relegation teams when we are behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Find that surprising given the leads squandered against Liverpool, Forest, Luton (twice) and Man City. Milan and Chelsea in cup comps too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan and Chelsea in cup comps too. it's weighted 70% to xG and 30% to actual goals, so things like the Liverpool 1-2 where those goals were pretty much their only efforts (they only registered 0.67xg in that game ) won't register as much as the might have if it were just weighted on actual goals. Outlier games like Sheff Utd away where we generated 4.75xg and Liverpool away where they generated 6.14xG will exaggerate things too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Out of the current crop of PL managers, where does wor Eddie rank in most likeable stakes? Got to be near the top, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Eddie's quite reserved and politic in interviews. I wouldn't say in front of the cameras he necessarily comes across as the kind of guy you'd want to hang out and eat wotsits with like De Zerbi, or go out, get bladdered and chin people with like Dyche, or go out and take some pills and rave to techno all night with like Ten Hag.

Pilko Posted Wednesday at 20:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:55 If this is what ten days of his training and coaching produces we may as well send the lads on a week long all inclusive to Ibiza next time we get a fixture gap. Not sure what he was trying to do tonight and yet again didn't change a clearly shit performance until we went behind. He should have changed it at half time and chose to serve up more of the same below par shite. Thankfully, we've another game quickly and on paper it's our most winnable game of the season. Needs to get it right on Saturday and win because we can't rely on the other teams to get beat again. Tonight will be forgotten quickly if we win on Saturday and that's just as well, frankly, because it was absolutely shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
