Paullow Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Well, all 5 results in league and cup unfortunately went against us this weekend, but if we were to lose and Chelsea were to win, at least both were just by the 1 goal, so we should have at least 6th (and Europa) wrapped up. If Chelsea do lose to Forest next week then we would have to lose to Everton by at least 4 goals to finish as low as 7th. Had we lost 2-0 and Chelsea won 3-0, or vice versa, then even 6th wouldn't have been sewn up. Edit - not that Howe was bothered about any of that with Pope going up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 This game was always a bit of a free hit, still in our own hands, that's all we could have realistically asked for. So I'm content tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigsawGoesToPieces Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Qualified: 1. Liverpool QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2. Arsenal QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 3. Newcastle (66 pts +22 GD) Everton (H) 4. Chelsea (66 pts +20 GD) Nottingham Forest (A) 5. Aston Villa (66 pts +9 GD) Man Utd (A) ‐‐-------------------- 6. Man City (65 pts +24 GD) Tuesday: Bournemouth (h) Fulham (a) --‐--------- 7. Nottingham Forest (65 pts +13 GD) Chelsea (H) Presume City win on Tuesday, we will be 4th and must win on Sunday as Villa should beat Man Utd and Chelsea should beat Forest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It was always coming down to the Everton game. Lets hope Isak is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Going as expected. Home game v Everton to get UCL. Take that all day. Ideally Man Utd turn up final game against Villa because that would take loads of pressure off too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Using realism rather than reading around here, a defeat was expected. But the manner of it (early shots, Gordon error) hurts, as does every other AVL/CHE score once again going badly. I dunno, I'm feeling 60/40 that we'll make it. But I don't even think we're one of the country's best five teams tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea lose by 1, we can still lose by 3, if Chelsea lose by 2, we can lose by 4 and so on, so at least it's something that goal difference was still intact.

But I don't even think we're one of the country's best five teams tbh. I wouldn't say it was expected - not at all. And tbh if we'd took our chances we would be deserved winners - what's frustrating is we didn't take them and knowing if we had our best player on the pitch we most likely would have won that game. Bar a couple of shots Pope had very little to do - the fact Raya got MOTM says it all. Edited May 18 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Trophy and third or fourth with one to play, which is Everton home. I would have snapped your hand off for this at Christmas, never mind when the season started. Just to remind everyone, but we've not bought a first teamer for three transfer windows. PSR meant the wild crazy dribbling kid we had who scored in the CL had to be sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
