Kid Icarus Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Level with 94/95 at this stage is incredible. The start of that season we flew out of the blocks and it was a peak of the Keegan era for me. Edited January 15, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I still think we’re about 4 / 6 points off where we should be. We have played some outstanding football in these first 19 games and the only match where we outplayed by the opposition was Brighton away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using current league position to determine difficulty of fixture: 34 points needed. Let's say 19 points (6 wins & 1 draw) at home & 15 points (4 wins and 3 draws) away. Crystal Palace (A) - 1 point needed West Ham (H) - 3 points required Bournemouth (A) - 3 points required Liverpool (H) - 3 points required Brighton (H) - 3 points required Man City (A) - 0 points required Wolves (H) - 3 points required Nottingham Forest (A) - 1 point required Manchester United (H) - 0 points required Brentford (A) - 0 points required Aston Villa (A) - 1 point required Spurs (H) - 1 point required Everton (A) - 3 points required Southampton (H) - 3 points required Arsenal (H) - 0 points required Leeds (A) - 3 points required Leicester (H) - 3 points required Chelsea (A) - 0 points required West Ham (A) - 3 points required I feel that three game swing of Liverpool-Brighton-Man City will make or break our top 4 chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think its pretty clear now that Arsenal/City/Man U will be in the top three. Liverpool will be the biggest threat to us finishing 4th, despite their current shit form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think we need players in this month for it to happen. If not then I can see us being pipped by Spurs or Liverpool. Man Utd will definitely finish 3d or 4th so there is only one spot left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of what the odds say: https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/top-4-finish We have a bit of a cushion and are as short as 4/6 at places, but possibly the Ashley effect, or that our squad depth is so small, I still don't really see us as favourites for it. I'm still saying top 6 is fine, and anything else, especially CL, is a massive bonus. I won't feel like we have 'blown it' if we do get pipped towards the end of the season.

David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Liverpool feel overrated based on their past. Their midfield is a shambles and VVD is past it and also crocked for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
