I don't even think they win on Monday. Leeds are awful, Liverpool win that with ease I think Liverpool easily get 20+ points from their remaining fixtures, they'll do similar to what they did a couple of years ago We just need to make sure we win enough games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far from a foregone conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season they've won just 3 away games and have lost to Bournemouth, Forest and Wolves. Many think they've been threatening to go on runs for ages; beat Bournemouth 9-0, go on a run of 1 win in 7. Beat Man City, put 7 past Rangers away from home in the CL, lose away to Forest and home to Leeds back to back. Few wins put together post WC, get hammered in consecutive away games at Brentford, Brighton and Wolves. Go on a run of wins and clean sheets including beating Man Utd 7-0 and they're now winless in 4. They've been outrageously inconsistent all season and I don't see that changing. Regardless, if we just look after ourselves and win 6 games we'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I maintain… and I’ve messed with the predictors 5 or 6 times now… that if we draw with spurs and win 3 more games no one will catch us. Pretty much all scenarios I’ve worked, and I’ve tried to be really downbeat on our results, still lead to us finishing 4th on between 68 and 72 points.

timeEd32 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Same, I don't know how anyone is doing the predictor thing and thinking Liverpool will catch us. Spurs also a tall task if we beat them -- it really comes down to that. (This opinion assumes Bruno stays fit. All bets are off if we lose him.)

The College Dropout Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Bruno, Isak, Schar, Botman, ASM, Wilson, Gordon, you need 2 of Joelinton, Longstaff & Wilson, TRIPPIER, Pope etc. Injuries is the biggest danger imo. Keep that lot fit and we'll be fine. Edited April 12, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Fan attitudes don't change overnight and we're bound to be scarred and pessimistic from the last decade or so. I can see why anyone would choose to be cautious about top 4, even with the current run we're on, and the performances we've put in this season. Saying that, if I could briefly think we could make the top 4 during the inexplicable season we finished 5th under Alan 'The King' Pardew, I owe it to this team to have some hope we can realistically finish in champions league places this season.

Yeah, I've tried being negative with only two wins, the rest draws and losses and it still has us in top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yep, also of the opinion that if we beat spurs we should do it. Don’t even consider the brummie mackems as a threat this weekend… flattering to deceive against bottom half opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to air on the side of caution Spurs have struggled but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility they win 6 of 8 and draw one of the other 2 if the beat us. Brighton winning 9/10 seems tougher so 5 should see them off. Anyone else would need us to collapse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 We would have to collapse in general now based on the rest of the season. We've lost 3 in 29 so that'd suggest we might lose one more. We're winning 1 in 2 so that'd get you 4 wins (68 points). Don't lose to Spurs, Villa or Brighton and it's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some tough away trips to SJP, Anfield and Villa Park though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think them vs Liverpool is a coin flip as both have none existent midfields based on recent games but both have quality forwards. Hopefully Villa can do them (hopefully after not turning up vs us) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
