Rocker Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 12 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Burnley are an absolute nightmare to breakdown, they rarely lose by more than the odd goal. I hope GWN is right though. I mean, they're bottom of the table so they can't be that hard to breakdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true They do have the best defence in the bottom half though, they've also conceded less than West Ham and Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think Burnley are the biggest threat to us. They've played Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool of late and come out of it with 2 points and a goal difference of -1. In fact, they should've beaten Liverpool. I think they'll win tomorrow.

gdm Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Apart from palace Burnley have lost the least amount of games in the bottom half of the table. A lot of draws which would suggest they are difficult to break down but can’t score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Said it before but there's so much shit that can happen that I wouldn't worry about individual teams (although it would be nice to see 3 teams freefall). I think Villa have too much quality but anyone from Palace downwards could feasibly be relegated. Ultimately though yhere is points threshold of around the mid 30s mark which will almost certainly see us safe, and recent results and performances are on our side to hit it.

Nine Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If we get a point the bottom 3s fixtures could easily mean we get another point clear of 18th, going to be a difficult game for us without Trippier and against a good side so a point would be a great result overall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Adam Idah for Norwich is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Big blow for them, he looked one of their better players. Edited February 18, 2022 by Bada Bing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Their wins came from putting him up top with Pukki. Even if he was fit I just can't see that Norwich team being good enough to sustain anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 10 hours ago, The Prophet said: Burnley are an absolute nightmare to breakdown, they rarely lose by more than the odd goal. I hope GWN is right though. Only seven have conceded fewer than Burnley, but Brighton are one of them. Brighton have scored the joint-5th least (same as us), Burnley the second least. Brighton have drawn the most games in the league. Burnley the joint-second most draws. Can see a draw.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be as solid away as we are at home, only Man City have won at SJP in the last 8 games there. If Palace beat Stoke in the FA Cup, we'll have 1 home game between now and 8th April.

Seems like we’ve had a shitload of home games since Howe came in, so was always going to have to level its self out. Think since our away match at Anfield, we’ve had 1 away game and 5 home. Hopefully we can pick up a couple of wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be able to get some points in the next two weeks, could probably define the season based on results. I'd imagine they could get 3-6 points out of these. We play three games in the same time period (West Ham a, Brentford a, Brighton h) and just need to match their points - I feel like we should get 3-6 also. Brighton (a) Tottenham (h) Palace (a) Leicester (h) Chelsea (h) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 A lot can still happen but we are by far the best placed. A purple patch for any of the other three teams could happen as mid-table opposition enters beach mode and/or pile up the injuries like Leeds, but the net result will be to drag other teams into it. Its only been a four-team league due to terrible half seasons by the four teams, not great form from everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I’m going to completely contradict what I said previously as I thought the only thing we were susceptible to was an injury crisis. Arguably our 3 best players are out and I don’t think we look like a side going down. We’re too good now, we look like an actual football team. I’m at a 1.
