AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It's based on 'guaranteeing' Europe, not what you need to actually make it. I think this thinking is what is making people nervous, thinking you have to make the absolute maximum amount of points to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebburn Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Unless Liverpool win all their games by more than one goal or batter someone then 2 wins is gonna do it. Edited May 5, 2023 by Hebburn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Billy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 1 hour ago, TRon said: I can guarantee there'll be plenty of Man U fans shitting their pants after yesterday's result. Not yet, and not even if we don't win on Sunday. The games we have always expected to win are Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth. If we draw against Wolves then it's shit the bed time. Would mean we then need to win against Chelsea provided we don't get a result against West Ham. There's longer breaks coming up between games now which should help us.

It's not a foregone conclusion that we beat Leicester or Chelsea for that matter. Both have players who can hurt you, I don't see any easy games for us at this point. That's why I think Howe has the right idea not to look too far ahead and just make sure we beat Arsenal on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriner can sit in front of the VAR screen wearing a full Liverpool kit at this point, he can do fuck all if we win a couple of our remaining games.

The Prophet Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Arsenal aside, our fixture list isn't that bad at all: Leeds - 17th. Recently been humped at home to Palace and Liverpool and will be a week into to implementing the plans of their third manager of the season. Brighton - 6th. Brighton are a are a really tidy outfit who will set up in a way that exposes a lot of our weakness. Even so, they're hitting a rough bit of form and it'll be the second week of a hectic schedule under the lights at SJP. Leicester - 16th. Showed a bit of fight under Smith, but still failed to beat relegation rivals Leeds and Everton in recent games. Plenty of talent in attacking positions, but they're absolute bobbins at the back and it's another evening game at SJP. Chelsea - 12th. They're as bad as anybody in the league right now. Clearly Lampard hasn't given them the shot in the arm they required and they look to have downed tools for the season. If don't get seven points from those fixtures plus Arsenal, we only have ourselves to blame really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 1 hour ago, LFEE said: So… Brentford can’t make Europe of any kind at all?! ? Yes they can but they are dependent on others dropping points. They would do well to get 59 points and that's unlikely enough to get Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebburn Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 That fucking Liverpool away game man, i'm still not properly over it yet, i will be when we get top 4 though as ultimately it won't have mattered.

STM Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Just so I've got this correct: Liverpool play Brentford who've been excellent throughout the season, sit in the top half and have one of the best strikers in the league..... easy win for Liverpool. Next week we play Leicester, who are a complete mess and we've beaten twice already this season.... tricky game, could go either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye same, after that i remember thinking how annoyed i'd be if those games stopped us getting a European place come the end of the season, though i was thinking more Europa or conference league at that point. Still could stop champs league as of right now which is annoying but we should be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 In the past maybe I'd have been worried but this Newcastle team doesn't get phased. We're there on merit - Liverpool have won last couple of games due to dodgy *cough* decisions - as a team they are awful. Their luck will run out and they'll get another battering - most likely by Brentford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
