TheBrownBottle Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Top half and a cup run for me, everything beyond that is a bonus. I’m happy to consider the QF of the LC a cup run - beat Leicester and make the SF and it unarguably is. Beat Leeds on NYE and we’re pretty much safe - so I reckon top half is almost nailed on. The second half of the season is just going to be sheer bliss for me, irrespective of what happens. Top four is possible, but I won’t be disappointed in any way if it doesn’t happen.

I suppose no matter what, you're going to be happy with expectations that low! Nah, just sticking to my pre-season expectations . And it’s made this season a complete delight - I’m not predicting that we’ll fall away, just saying that every game is completely stress-free for me. Far more enjoyable than looking at the table and worrying about what Liverpool etc are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I think someone mentioned 72 points from the last 38 games, luck, aye right. We are coming for them and they feckin know it.

Coffee_Johnny Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 7 hours ago, King HTT III said: I’d still be happy with top 7, but I’m sure Howe, his staff and the players are aiming to finish in the top 4 now that we are actually in those places. January will be big in terms of who leaves and goes, a transformative player like Bruno could make all the difference. Some mates of mine are talking of looking to win the league, there is zero chance of that Top 4 would be dreamy though. Out of interest say we finished 4th, would we have a CL qualifier to make the groups? Nice to see you. Hope all is as fine and dandy as the footy.

Coffee_Johnny Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Based on who who have left, and home/away variation, I reckon we’ll win another 12, draw 5 and lose 5. 41 pts added to the 33 banked. My guesstimate is 74 points this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Still view top 6 as amazing achievement if we could do it. Top 4 looks really tight if the teams win their games in hand. That said we have no European distractions this season and the opportunity to strengthen in January. Out defence being so good gives me a fair bit of confidence, the other side's around us look like they could leak goals. It's going to really tight and competitive.

They’ve got to come to our place though and we’ve got beef with them and that little rat who scored for them after that last match. I think we’ll do them and Klopp will gurn his own face off.

nufcjb Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Liverpool home needs an Arsenal home last season atmosphere. Get the fans going. Saturday evening. If the players are readg and up for it, Klopp and his bunch won't know what'll hit them. I think this transfer window maybe more important that some might think. If we have ambitions of staying in the top half,let alone top 4-6, we need extra quality players in to help sustain our push. A striker, a creative midfielder n possibly a top quality center back can help backup the squad should we sustain injuries to our key players. Some shrewd and clever signings and top 6 would be a good shout. Edited December 28, 2022 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had a few rubs of the green ourselves of course but there was a disproportionate period of about 4 games in a row we were getting robbed. missed sitters and the like I don’t get too bothered about.

St1pe Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If we get any form of Europe I’ll be chuffed. It’s felt like a lifetime since we last qualified or looked like a team deserving to be there. I think it’s important to appreciate the moment though. There should be no expectation, no disappointment, literally just enjoy the exciting and aggressive football we’re playing. We’ve been hopeless and rudderless for so long. You can already see a few fans getting carried away talking about title races, dropped points and champions league. If investment continues all that will come. This is a unique season, just enjoy it.

Guest Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Been saying all season that Spurs are just a horrible team. They don't play a good brand of football but they've got a front 3 or 4 that's on par with anything in the world that get points from nothing.
