Geogaddi Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Sound like a broken record but Villa were always going to be a threat with the fixtures they had left, we win tomorrow and it shouldn't matter. Anything less and we aren't finishing top 5. Edited May 10 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Liverpool and Bournemouth have played worse than ever before when we need them to actually try. Include Fulham in that. They can't wait to gift Man City 3 aswell.

Erikse Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 68-69p is about average for 4th place. Wild if someone gets 6th with that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 With Villa result, game tomorrow is now not must lose, but raised to now must win. Even a draw would most likely need to mean we need to win the last two games if we don't win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Think we can safely say Villa are winning their last 2 as well. We absolutely have to win tomorrow, but that was always the case tbf. Fucking hell.

Ronaldo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Incredibly annoying that we’ve taken 2 points from 6 games against Fulham, Brighton and Bournemouth, like. All beat us at home too. Comes down, mainly, to our midfield three simply not having enough about them to break teams down through the middle. I’m sure it will be looked at in the summer but it’s frustrating for this season, as much as I’m OK with us finishing 6th if we can somehow keep Isak.

Geogaddi Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Nothing has changed really with that Villa result , we always needed to beat Chelsea and Everton to finish top 5, still in our own hands . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The equation hasn't changed for the last month or so - win the home games and get a point away. We got the point at Brighton and we still need to beat Chelsea and Everton. The complications some people are bringing into things is now borderline ridiculous - we're on track but tomorrow is must-win. If we fuck it up tomorrow afternoon then we're in the lap of the gods - do the business then we're looking good. All favours from other clubs are welcome but we need to win those 2 home games and we always did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got Arsenal (who we've beaten I think three times this season already) and Everton with nothing to play for. It could have been Arsenal chasing the title and Everton in a relegation battle. If we don't do it, we've really only got ourselves to blame and if we want to be the 3rd/4th/5th best team in the country we can't be relying on other teams and complaining that things aren't fair if the results don't go the way we want.
