The Prophet Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 19 minutes ago, Coffee_Johnny said: From what I’ve seen, Burnley have been playing better/looked tougher to beat. Just checked they’ve only lost once in last nine games (mainly draws). 19th in League, but 11th in form table. Man Utd currently 12th in form table. It'll be tough for sure, but it's a game we should be winning. They have made themselves difficult to beat, beating Sheff United and Brentford and drawing with Man United, Chelsea, West Ham and Wolves. This time last season, I'd say we'll batter them, but our away form is so indifferent at the moment it'll be tight and it wouldn't surprise me if we lost.

timeEd32 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 It's dumb and a cliche but it's all about the first goal in these away games. We haven't gotten anything from an away game in which we've conceded first since West Ham in October. We haven't won an away game coming from behind since Brentford in April.

TRon Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: I'm looking at the last 8 results. Of which they have only lost once. Including draws at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge (where we lost badly). I fancied them to get a result at OT because they've been scoring goals and picking up results and Man U are shit. For a team that is 19th, that is decent form. Averaging over a point a game. They've dropped the young keeper and tightened up defensively a little. They have improved from being that terrible side they were for 2/3 of the season. They have it all to play for. It's not the super easy fixture it would've been in September. And we are bad away from home. We should beat these. They are still 19th with a low points total. But they are in as good a vein of form as they've been all season with it all to play for. Another slow away start and we could be in trouble. All that really suggests is that they are probably better organised than previously so it might be a harder grind. The reason I was wondering about specifics is because if they don't have much pace up front, that means our back line will probably find it a bit easier. The teams which have given us the most problems have been those with real pace like Forest, Fulham and Palace. Results themselves only tell you so much, a lot depends on how their team can target our weaknesses and vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Just looked at the remaining games for Tottenham, Manu and ourselves. If we win three of our four and maybe draw the other I am sure we would finish fifth. Both of the others have really hard run ins and I could see them getting very little points... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they beat Chelsea and do us a huge favour tomorrow Aye, I'd probably be happier with a Spurs win tomorrow because keeping Chelsea at bay improves our great chance of finishing 6th/7th and gaining a euro place of some sort, while a 5th place finish is a long shot.

Kid Icarus Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Don't Spurs just not win at Stamford Bridge? I've seen that stretched the limit as well, when Chelsea have been absolutely atrocious, Spurs have been flying and Chelsea have still turned them over for that one match.

Paully Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 A Spurs win tonight for me to keep Chelsea away! It would have been a nightmare if they'd beaten Man City in that FA Cup semi as you just know fine well, we'd finish 7th and they'd have won the Cup! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Definitely in the Spurs win tonight camp. 6th is achievable and in our own hands but Chelsea, Man U and even West Ham dropping points helps my confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
