Didn't realise Man U and Liverpool don't play next weekend. Massive chance on Friday.

We beat McFred with the Longstaffs, we should be very confident with Bruno and Joelinton back.

[TBG]

Results go our way, and win our games in hand and we're only 11 points of Man City.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Win our next 2 and going ahead of Man-U has to be the motivation. 

 

As that not only puts us in a great position it also drags another team unto the mix, stating the obvious but better to be chasing 2 spots rather than just the 1

I feel a lot more comfortable being outside the top 4 and doing the chasing.     Hope we can just relax and just sort out form out, see where it takes us 

 

Aye Man U must be the ones worrying now. 3 wins in the last 8 league games and their key midfielder missing the next 4. 

 

Looked like they had 3rd nailed on and now could be 5th after their next game.

Man Utd have a few 'icky' games coming up like. Brighton and us away followed by Brentford at home, plus Chelsea and Spurs not long after that.

Not worried, but looking forward to the break so our players can get some rest. They've played a ridiculous amount of football. 

 

We have 4 games after the break where we should expect no less than 9 points.

We should be comfortably beating Brentford at home.

Won’t most of your players be on international duty ?

They've got the 3rd best record since the World Cup. You should be beating most teams outside the top 2 comfortably with the squad and budget but it's not quite happening.

Brentford? Fairly sure they don't like.  I was looking at an article earlier in the week and they were 8th. We were 3rd behind Arsenal and City. 

 

And its not happening at home for us? Today was the first time in 16 games that we haven't scored 2+ at home. The only sides with a better home record than us are City and Arsenal. 

 

We're so much better than people on here give us credit for. we're still in every competition playing two games a week. The team is doing remarkably well. We finished 6th last year ffs. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Mad that people on the newcastle forum don’t rate Man Utd

You're both wrong, since the World Cup, Brentford are 4th in the table since the World Cup, and have just went on a 12 game unbeaten run:

 

 

[The College Dropout]

Not thinking about top 4 today. 
 

Taking it one game at a time. If we rediscover some form, we’ll challenge.

They've only played 10 since the world cup, and they lost yesterday.

Yeah, I forgot to account for the death the Queen Elizabeth when counting game weeks, they're still 4th though

 

 

Also used the term "Went" as it indicates past tense. They've also beat Man City away, drew with Arsenal away, beat Liverpool at home, and drew with Spurs at home in that 12 game run. They're certainly not the a team you should be "Comfortably" beating.

Fulham have 20 points since the world cup so your table is wrong.

So not third best since the world cup then?

I’d expect an improved performance after spending 230m. It’s not the same team that finished 6th.

I've just gone from game week the "gameweek" prior to the World Cup to now, there are games in hand that have been played etc. 

 

Thats not the point people are making though, and you sure as hell know that, you little troll you

[Sempiternal]

Also the 2nd highest wage bill in the league per Capology, which historically correlates with league position. Chelsea have skewed it to be to due to their mental spree this season

You've done well but howay. You already had a better squad than the likes of Spurs and have spent a further £250m and giving out £400k p/w contracts. 

 

We are starting Jacob Murphy and bringing Matt Ritchie on for comparison 

[Paullow]

Casemiro's has had a pretty eventful time in the league recently .

 

Sent off vs Palace, missed Leeds x 2 and Leicester through suspension, back for the 0-7 defeat to Liverpool, and then sent off again vs Southampton, and will miss 3 further league matches (as well as the Fulham FA Cup match).
