bealios Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 3 minutes ago, The Prophet said: It'd be superb if Liverpool made our life a bit easier, but you're always made to work for positions at the top of the table. We just need to focus on getting two more wins, which given our fixtures we've gone to pot if we don't. Definitely this. I know it is new to us, but if we are ever going to win a league, there likely won't be a season where it is nailed on in April. We (to be fair, fan base rather than the team) have to get used to working for it and not hoping that other teams mess up. Imagine if we're in a head to head with Man City in a couple of years, where every single game is absolutely massive. It takes a massive mentality shift I agree, consider this training. If we don't make it, we go again and improve, as Liverpool did when they finally won it. Or we just stay consistent, and do it with the points total when Leicester did it. Both are fine to me. This isn't a one off season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 6 minutes ago, Ketsbaia said: 7pts is a big ask, I know there's a good vibe right now and lots of 'on the brink' stuff but it's asking a lot. We definitely have a worse set of fixtures than Man U, Liverpool. Just have to hope Leicester (a) or Villa (h) finally help us out. And that these 1-0 wins takes the requirement down to 6pts. A big ask, but Liverpool getting nine will be an absolute cake walk right? You could easily select three of our fixtures that are the same difficulty as Liverpool's.

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I don't even know why I'm arguing anymore to be honest. If Liverpool beat Leicester and we throw in two absolute stinkers v Arsenal and Leeds I might join you in purchasing a few pairs of adult nappies, but at the moment I'm just really fucking excited for what should be a belting game of football tomorrow.

The Leeds, Leicester, Chelsea games are probably of equivalent difficulty to their final 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarie4 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 we play 2 games before pool play their next game. 3 points from those games, will put us at 68 to Liverpools 62. still six points above them with 3 games to go. The pressure is on them, not us. I believe we got champions league footy all tied up after 20 mins v spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Let’s just enjoy being in the mix, we are a good team and the boys will do their upmost to finish as high as possible, there really shouldn’t be any pressure on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) We could secure Champions League football with a win/draw at home to Brighton, what an atmosphere that would be for a 19.30 kick off. Edited May 6, 2023 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 If we need 7 points from 15 to get it then so be it. A month ago the thought of Liverpool winning their last 9 off the bounce was highly, highly unlikely. Something they'd not been remotely close to at any point this season and if they do it, they do it. 7 points is the target, fuck Liverpool, let's just fucking do it. If they slip up once then 4 will almost certainly be enough and we're more than capable of that. We're an excellent team with fantastic players right now, we're in mint form and the injuries have cleared up loads. No reason not to be bullish about things.

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 3 minutes ago, Ketsbaia said: Yeah but they're used to this. Clearly whatever I say you're just going to frame into something highly negative. Anyone who thinks it's "asking a lot" for a team in third averaging circa 1.9 PPG to take seven points from their remaining five games (including three bottom half teams) is entrenched in their view. I just hope that despite your pessimism you get some enjoyment out of the reminder of the season, it's going to be class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean i'm not going to pretend that it isn't slightly more precarious than it was a couple of weeks back, especially if we lose tomorrow and that could happen, last chance saloon for Arsenal. But howay man, the form we're in, I feel very confident and Liverpool getting jammy single goal wins 4 games in a row doesn't change anything, we're a great, confident side.

We have lost once at home this season, against a team 2-0 up and a red card. Still we created loads. As long as we dont do a Villa, and stop these slow starts that we have, Arsenal and Brighton both have to work for the points. And if Pool play like they did against Brentford then Villa will score for sure. Pool cant give up points at all. We can lose 2 and we have lost 4 all season.
