Scoot Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 We're 4 points clear of Liverpool with 3 games each to play. We'd all have took that at any stage this season going into the final 3 games. 2 massive home games coming up now. Howay the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two night games are going to be very special occasions at SJP. Still don’t fear anyone at all at home and I really fancy us against a fading Brighton with over a day of preparation extra. Hope Arsenal dish out a spanking tomorrow. Expand Going to have to make those two home games an absolute bear pit. No room for error now. 6/6 needed.

wiseman Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 If we can get the two wins though and secure the CL in the final home game of the season, the jubilation afterwards is going to be something special really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Brighton game is massive now. Win it and we'll do it. Anything less and it's too ropey to judge. Think we'll win but it won't be easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Brighton's response to the Everton game will have a big impact on our game with them on Thursday. Another loss tomorrow and they'll have their tails down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Going into the game we needed 2 wins and a draw and if it turns out that the point today was the draw then so be it. Desperate for top 4 now and we have the perfect chance with 2 home games to wrap it up. If have to go to Chelsea needing a result then so be it. Nothing worth having comes easy and we've got 3 bites at the cherry now. Still pretty confident and glass is still firmly half full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Everton have laid out the blueprint of how to play against Brighton. Defend narrow and deep and don't press their center backs, then be fast and wide in transition. We can do the latter but probably not the former.

Interpolic Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think the games coming somewhat thick and fast now for us is something that works in our favour. Might be my imagination but feel our best performances this season have came when playing 3 games in 10 days or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I'm sure I know the answer but going to ask anyway. If Man City win the Champions League, why does their place not go to the 5th place team in the league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Leeds are shit. They are 18th in the league after 36 games. They have the worst defence in the league. Both individually and collectively. It wouldn’t take much for the crowd and the team to get their heads down if we went into the lead and held on to it for 20 minutes (at any point of the game) and we looked composed. They are no better than Everton who we swotted away. They didn’t offer much more than I expected. Willing runners with athletic players. Disrupted us. No class or composure in defence.

Shadow Puppets Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 After cooling down after the match, I actually feel a bit better about it. It’s all in our hands, we needed 7 points and we’ve got one of them in what was a very very tricky away game… one that had banana skin written all over it. Win 2 out of the last 3 and it’s 100% ours, and there’s still the possibility of Leicester or Villa springing a surprise. It’s crazy towards the end of the season and anything can happen. I’m weirdly feeling ok… think two massive nights at St James’ under the lights are what this team thrives in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t take much from the Everton lose. They beat Man U the game before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
