Mazzy Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Alberto2005 said: Depends, if we only get 6 points it means we've lost 3 games which might mean a hit to our GD. Then it depends on Liverpool, if they win all 5 there's a good chance they've scored a fair amount. But if we get 6 points it also means we've won two games, so you've got to account for atleast another +2 on our goal difference. Liverpool defence aren't going to keep 5 clean sheets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how many we win out two games by how many we lose our three games by. Also by how many Liverpool win their five games by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 A 9 point gap with only 15 left to play for, plus a superior goal difference. It'd be like death row in here if it was actually close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I don't think I'll be able to open this thread if Liverpool get six points this week and we lose to Arsenal (which, to be clear, would still leave us in a perfectly fine situation that would not warrant extreme panic).

The College Dropout Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 2 hours ago, mighty__mag said: Not sure I'm in agreement with Caulkin, yes he has a point, but the footballing people we have bought in behind the scenes, unlike George who's just a sport journalist, will have many ways to pull off deals. This club is being run smartly, I don't think the over achievement or possible premature CL qualification compares us to doing a Leicester? It’s a bit of a nonsense. Leicester have run out of actual cash due to the owners being hit by the pandemic. The main driver for Leicester not maintaining the ‘close’ top 4 pursuit is selling their best players. We don’t have to do that. And if we did, we would use the fees to push our transfer spend much further than Leicester did. Also much like our transfers. We should be able to source great commercial deals. And the commercial market know we are the real deal so will push bigger deals to be at the start of our rise. I agree with the squad and management. But I think we’re in position to sign some players that mitigate our weakness significantly without rocking the boat. Lavia’s won’t cost the world but look bound for the elite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarie4 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 5 games 5 draws gets us to 70. Liverpool have to perfect to get 71. They can't afford to slip up whereas we can. Am not worried at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just a draw for Liverpool means we need to win 1 less game (win 1 draw 1), and any defeat for them means we need just 1 win and then it's on goal difference. We're in such a strong position!

midds Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 We just need to put Liverpool out of our thoughts, there's no point worrying about what they might do, if they win the last 5 then so be it. I think it's unlikely that they end up winning their last 9 in a row but it's obviously a possibility. We just need to focus on getting 7 points minimum from the 15 left. Leeds away should be a banker 3, Leicester will be a little tougher but we have shown we can now punish poor teams and they are absolutely one of those. That means getting a point from a fragile and under pressure Arsenal at home, a very good but knackered Brighton also at home and a Chelsea side that haven't looked remotely interested all season under the worst manager in the division on the final day when they've already packed their suitcases and their wives and kids are waiting in the car for them. We can't get 7 points from those 5 fixtures then we don't deserve it. I'm at 95%, regardless of what those cheating cunts do. It's not done but we're in the best form we've been in for more than a decade, scoring for fun, organised, motivated and united as a unit. This doesn't slip from here, the squad is buzzing and can be rotated, the bench is strong and now has genuine options and ASM and Longstaff are on the way back too. Fuck Liverpool, we're doing this.

Absolutely this. Only thing I’d add is that I wouldn’t have it any other way. Eddie had us coping superbly well with the pressure of a relegation fight last year, and he’s doing likewise with the pressure of CL qualification. He’s not shying away from it, but taking it head on, which will stand us in very good stead once we will transition into a team actually competing for trophies. I’m not worried at all; we have a top team mentality now. Yesterday at half time you just knew we’d come out swinging, and really we put Southampton under so much pressure there was no way we weren’t winning that game. Even when Wilson’s original 2-1 was struck off you could see the calm determination in the players’ eyes. This is not the Newcastle United of the last two decades anymore - we’re the real deal. We deserve to be in the CL next season and I have no doubt at all that we will, under our own steam and in style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 To date, compared to the results of last season we have gathered more points this season against 12 of the teams in the league, and equaled the points tally against 6 of the teams, anyone care to guess who the one team are in which we have a worse points record compared to last season?

Shadow Puppets Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Leicester are making me feel a little better about Liverpool’s chances of winning all their games. I know Leicester have had a bad season, but they still have plenty of good attacking players capable of getting something against Liverpool, especially if it’s the game that can mathematically save them.
