Any time VAR is used there should be a verbal explanation given by the referee or I guess VAR official (though not exactly sure how that would work). I know I’m a broken record on this, but the idea of a sport where the fans don’t know how a decision has been reached is absolutely mental. Either shows how backward the football authorities are, or how much disregard they have for fans. Probably both. Also would likely mean the rules would need to be simplified and the criteria for a decision made more clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Down to a 6 on this. Don't think we can rely on goal difference any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 We could do with hammering Leicester on Monday to build our GD up incase we get 2 draws and a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Sorry to be miserable but I just think we're going to fall short. Main reason being that the midfield balance has just not looked right without Longstaff (LWLD the last games he's missed), and it's exacerbating the fact there is serious fatigue in that area of the pitch for us. Hope I'm wrong, but if we don't beat Brighton we're gone IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could come down to goal difference with another draw at Chelsea. Hopefully it won't come to that if we just win Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Chelsea away is winnable, they've given up weeks ago. Brighton is winnable, of course also could lose. We must surely beat Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we fail to beat Brighton, we will still be ahead of Liverpool by a point, and have to play this horrendous Leicester team at home, and a Chelsea team on the beach and who failed to beat Forest at home the other day, it'll be nail biting for sure, but it'll hardly be gone.

Wolfcastle Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 For all the "bed wetting" of only a week ago its near enough 50/50 now isn't it? 50% chance of beating Brighton and anything less were having to beat Chelsea as well as Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Don't want to tell people how to feel, but I think some need to look at the positives rather than just the negatives. Yes things haven't gone well since Southampton, but we will be in the Champions League if we beat 2 hopeless teams. Whisper it quietly, but we may actually beat Brighton too!

Still very much in our hands. Man Utd are involved in this too. For as hard as Brighton could be for us Villa at home is a difficult game for Liverpool if they show up. Simple fact is if we beat Brighton on Thursday we're Leicester at home away from CL football. Only have ourselves to blame if we don't get over the line.

Agreed, though Brighton are exactly the kind of side we don’t want to be playing when we’re going for three points. If the same side that faced Leeds starts again then we’re relying on a win at Chelsea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
