Vaj Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Definitely not that simple. It is almost a must not lose game but even then we could win the final two and still get CL. A draw would throw it completely in the balance (depending on other results) and a win would almost see us there but not guarantee it. Huge game either way but not the be all and end all.

It's kinda always been this way for me - although not to the extreme. 68 points has been my mark for some time. I didn't think we would get anything from Amex, Villa Park, or Emirates, nor did we need to. So the Amex point is a bonus. If we don't beat Chelsea, Chelsea will get 67 points or more. City will get 67 points or more. Then we are reliant on Villa & Forest faltering. If we don't beat Chelsea, there's a world where they and Forest can draw and get them both qualified. Beat Chelsea. Emirates is a free hit. Beat Everton. CL secured. Simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 If we can't beat Chelsea at home, we aren't beating Arsenal away IMO. 2 draws leaves our destiny to others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’m not stressed by Sunday as we know how to manage big games now. If we’re up for it we can certainly beat Chelsea and I’m confident that we will be ready to win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw would throw it completely in the balance (depending on other results) and a win would almost see us there but not guarantee it. Huge game either way but not the be all and end all. That's how I see it. A draw is a very likely outcome on Sunday no matter how much I would prefer to win it. But if we don't win I won't be assuming it's game over and assuming we are out of the running for CL football. Villa still have points to make up on us, and we only have to finish ahead of either them or Forest even if Chelsea finish higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea away form to top clubs: Liverpool (L) Arsenal (L) Man City (L) Villa (L) Newcastle home form to top clubs: Liverpool (D) Arsenal (W) Man City (D) Villa (W) Forest (W) Very happy to need to beat this Chelsea team at home to secure CL football. If we can't beat them we just aren't good enough and that's fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not completely out of question to think that we couldnt draw arsenal and beat everton if we draw to Chelsea this weekend, which assuming villa don't win all their remaining games, could be enough assuming that final game between forest and Chelsea doesn't end in a draw. Still much more difficult so I agree we really need to beat Chelsea this weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why we're gonna need to root for arsenal to beat Liverpool this weekend but I doubt they will. Liverpool are at home, and won't want to lose two in a row (especially if this is against arsenal) so they will actually try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
