Guest Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Aye I knew they'd come good under Iraola but didn't think they'd react like this after the Wolves defeat. Flying now. They had a really tough start as well. Edited December 9, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, we've had 17 injuries this season as well with other players unavailable for other reasons. Newcastle aren't the only team with absentees, though at this moment your situation is the worst out of anyone. You're using away defeats against Newcastle and City as a barometer for why we won't get top four, so why are Newcastle in consideration after getting comprehensively beaten by Bournemouth and absolutely torn to shreds by Everton who most of you laughed at as relegation fodder this season. Injuries or not those results are extremely poor. Top four race will be good To suggest we're not in consideration is extremely silly. Expand I am adding getting torn to shreds at home to Bournemouth as another reason I don't think you will finish top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Brighton and Man United dropping points is a massive bonus, if we could some how get a win tomorrow, or even draw, we'll be in a half decent position with players starting to come back.
