ponsaelius Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm betting on Liverpool every week at the moment like. Also put a little wager on us missing out on top four. Haven't gambled on football for about a decade before this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 If people need reassuring then over the last 10 games only City have accrued more points than us. We actually gained 3 points more than Liverpool If you want to look at a shorter time then during the last 6 games Liverpool have gained a point on us Something drastically has to go wrong for that to completely flip on it's head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nice to have insurance to ease the pain if we go Bruce in the final games. I did similar a few years ago when I travelled up for a double header of Everton and Leicester at SJP. Put a double on us losing both with the thinking if I lose it means I've seen some extent of footballing success. Instead the winnings paid for the entire 5 day trip. Every cloud and all that shite.

Chicken Dancer Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 My overriding worry is how we deal with the pressure. Let's be honest - Liverpool will be 3 points behind us before kick off, granted with 2 tricky games in hand to Arsenal & Brighton. IF we lose, then that trip to Leeds becomes huge. To contradict my worry though, we play with no fear. It's just the lack of experience in this moment which gives me a slight worry, but even the worst of us should relax if we beat Arsenal. I actually became more confident - despite shitting myself for the past 2/3 weeks - when Liverpool beat Fulham. Dodgy pen decision against a team on their holidays missing a good few of their key players. They've not been impressive recently at all. They do have it in them to smash a team which will probably be Brentford now I've said this, but Brentford and Villa will definitely give them a game. It's Man United who should be bricking it in all honesty. I stuck £50 on Liverpool to qualify at 8/1 about 2 weeks ago, thinking they'd displace us if anyone. If we get in alongside them then I'm a very happy man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are indeed. It's just how we cope with the pressure is what I'm saying. It wasn't too long ago the gap was 12 points (after they'd drew with Arsenal). Thankfully, the manager and players we have should give us overriding confidence that the job will get done. As Trippier says; Pressure is a privilege.

pubteam Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 We dealt with more pressure than this last year in a relegation battle with pretty much the same squad of players and relegation would have set us back years. They have the mindset and second half against Southampton showed that. We got this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It's based on 'guaranteeing' Europe, not what you need to actually make it. I think this thinking is what is making people nervous, thinking you have to make the absolute maximum amount of points to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebburn Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Unless Liverpool win all their games by more than one goal or batter someone then 2 wins is gonna do it. Edited May 5, 2023 by Hebburn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, and not even if we don't win on Sunday. The games we have always expected to win are Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth. If we draw against Wolves then it's shit the bed time. Would mean we then need to win against Chelsea provided we don't get a result against West Ham. There's longer breaks coming up between games now which should help us.
