But considering isak and botman cost us less than two players you're not even mentioning, i think it speaks more about your team/management than ours ?

The College Dropout Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Their last 4 games are just so easy man. Maybe West Ham or Bournemouth will have something to play for but they are not good teams. Their next 4 are tricky given the injuries. If they lose a couple perhaps i'll be more interested in them. If Maxi is back in full training next week and everyone else stays fit - we should finish 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand With that team we finished 3rd in the form table last season, so don't think Froggy's point holds much merit. Man U are shite and fortunate we got screwed by VAR so early in the season otherwise we'd be well ahead of them.

The College Dropout Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 On 14/04/2023 at 12:23, Dr. TC said: Also bruno Expand Yes. From the players that get regular minutes it's only Burn, Murphy and one of Joelinton, Willock & Longstaff, one of Almiron or Gordon that we could absorb an injury too without significant impact. The rest of the defence + Pope, Bruno, Wilson, Isak, ASM - there's no decent replacement. There's a massive drop in quality when these are out.

The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 While ASM is a great option and a constant threat for us, we did win 8 out of 9 without him in the side earlies this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) If Miggy / another wide player is going to score 6 in 9 again - aye he won't be missed much. The likelihood of that happening isn't very high though is it? In that run Miggy was over performing his Xg significantly. While ASM - this season and throughout his time at Newcastle is a frequent source of chance creation. Creating 2 of our opening goals in the last 3 games. His expected assists per game is only bettered by Trippier in our team. I will never understand why people are so keen to downplay him. We stormed the last 10 games of last season without Trippier - he's still critical to us though. Edited April 14, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Rashford might only miss one league game, against Forest. We probably want him back fit to face Spurs mind. They're the easier side to finish above given the table now and the game in hand. If Spurs beat them, it gets a lot tighter. Still not counting out Liverpool considering their run and returning players, plus the fact us, Spurs, and Man U play each other, and the tougher fixtures we have. Yes they need a big winning run, but we ourselves went on a five-game winning stream as soon as our tough spell ended.

timeEd32 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It would be hugely disappointing at this point to finish 5th behind Man United and Spurs. But honestly if we miss out on the CL because of Liverpool it will ruin the entire season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
