Of course not but at this stage of the season, pressure, luck, nerves all come in to play. We could give 100% and lose to a poor refereeing decision or a set piece. Basically you are saying if Man City give 100% every game then they win every game in a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck and poor refereeing decisions? Howay man. If we don't make top 4, this isn't the reason why. I've seem nowt from our performance that suggest pressure and nerves are a factor.

TRon Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Leeds and Leciester are the two games we need to win to clinch CL football IMO. Both are poor sides, we should be able to make our superiority count in those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking about the Leeds game you said if both sides give 100% then we win, I’m saying that isn’t always how football works. Particularly at this stage of the season.

Yes, they have been horrible but that can turn around. If they have the day, they certainly have players who can beat us. So like any Premier League team then?

andyc35i Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Leeds is a big game purely because it looks like we can move 6 points ahead of Liverpool and 5 from Man Utd before they play their games. That puts the pressure back on them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To call people bedwetters coz they aren’t as positive uou is just daft Personally no. I have no issue with people being nervous or a bit glass half-empty. People of all kinds watch football and it'll always provoke different reactions. There's a difference between being a bit unsure or concerned and the pant-shitting negativity that far too often raises it's head. If we don't finish in the Champions League spots it's because we've blown an absolutely glorious position when there was absolutely no reason to think that we would. This isn't aimed at you at all, but the more hysterical reactions whenever we drop points or Liverpool gain them is absolutely draining to read when we should be enjoying our best season in decades. It'll also reinforce the idea that the same thing will continue to happen forever, when it quite clearly won't. To be fair though that group will still be less annoying than the "missed opportunity" brigade who will be gagging to get stuck into the January window. Fuck it, I'm leaving the forum is we don't see it through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Who would have thought being 3rd would be this stressful Still think we’ll do it, 4 huge games now and I think 6 points will be enough. Nerve racking but what a position to be in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I just don’t think we’re ‘ready’ to be in the champions league just ye as we need a far better squad. But I’m enjoying how well we’ve played and would love to experience it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europa League adds extra games without any of that. I know it's a cliche, and I normally hate this attitude, but EL genuinely be a problem for us at this stage because of how fast we've accelerated from relegation candidates. CL gives us the chance to leapfrog forward. Edited May 7, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But I just don’t think we’d upset the squad balance right now by signing 6 top quality players that the squad needs to step up again next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Man Utd fans will be shitting it tonight but they will get 8 points from their final 4 games. We simply have to beat Leeds next week now or it’s really going to be touch and go for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
