ohmelads Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Rashford might only miss one league game, against Forest. We probably want him back fit to face Spurs mind. They're the easier side to finish above given the table now and the game in hand. If Spurs beat them, it gets a lot tighter. Still not counting out Liverpool considering their run and returning players, plus the fact us, Spurs, and Man U play each other, and the tougher fixtures we have. Yes they need a big winning run, but we ourselves went on a five-game winning stream as soon as our tough spell ended.

timeEd32 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It would be hugely disappointing at this point to finish 5th behind Man United and Spurs. But honestly if we miss out on the CL because of Liverpool it will ruin the entire season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Varane will make it back before the end of the season but out for a month or so. We will go to Sevilla next week without Fernandes, Varane, Martinez, Garnacho and possibly without Rashford and Shaw. This is fine. It's all fine.

Kid Icarus Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 If they finish top 4 now they'll have definitely earned it. Those injuries are killer and we know how average/bad the replacements are. You'd still think that their fixtures are easy, but the teams fighting relegation will smell blood like, especially at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno like without even checking I bet their subs still cost millions , fuck them harping on about injuries . They have one of the most expensive squads in the league don't they. Finishing top 4 with a cup in the bag is the absolute minimum they should expect with the money they have spent . Let’s not pretend that baldy nonce has performed miracles .

Ketsbaia Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I've assumed we'll lose at Villa and grab no more than a point vs Spurs. If we can get at least 2 points from those, I think we'll be almost there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not pretend that baldy nonce has performed miracles . Sssshh. You’re not allowed to mention the money that Man Utd spend. It’s only ever ‘big-spending Chelsea’, ‘big-spending Manchester City’ and now ‘big-spending Newcastle’. If you’re talking about Man Utd, you simply have to refer to the ‘wonders’ ETH has done with the most expensive squad in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester and Blackburn won’t be in the list, there’s bound to be some clubs who they haven’t been been in the premier league with. spurs is likely to be correct, I would have thought that they have finished above every team who have been promoted since the season they finished second to Leicester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't suggest anything of the sort like , just that regardless of their price, the replacements for their injuries are poor and that they'll have to earn top 4 rather than cruise to it now.
