The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I don't even know why I'm arguing anymore to be honest. If Liverpool beat Leicester and we throw in two absolute stinkers v Arsenal and Leeds I might join you in purchasing a few pairs of adult nappies, but at the moment I'm just really fucking excited for what should be a belting game of football tomorrow.

ilikenewcastle Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 4 minutes ago, The Prophet said: A big ask, but Liverpool getting nine will be an absolute cake walk right? You could easily select three of our fixtures that are the same difficulty as Liverpool's. This is a positive way of looking at the run ins tbf. Arsenal and Brighton are the games in hand. The Leeds, Leicester, Chelsea games are probably of equivalent difficulty to their final 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarie4 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 we play 2 games before pool play their next game. 3 points from those games, will put us at 68 to Liverpools 62. still six points above them with 3 games to go. The pressure is on them, not us. I believe we got champions league footy all tied up after 20 mins v spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Let’s just enjoy being in the mix, we are a good team and the boys will do their upmost to finish as high as possible, there really shouldn’t be any pressure on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) We could secure Champions League football with a win/draw at home to Brighton, what an atmosphere that would be for a 19.30 kick off. Edited May 6, 2023 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about where i'm at and i'm a pessimist most of the time. Honestly, a draw tomorrow isn't a bad result at all if we follow it up with a win over Leeds.

midds Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 If we need 7 points from 15 to get it then so be it. A month ago the thought of Liverpool winning their last 9 off the bounce was highly, highly unlikely. Something they'd not been remotely close to at any point this season and if they do it, they do it. 7 points is the target, fuck Liverpool, let's just fucking do it. If they slip up once then 4 will almost certainly be enough and we're more than capable of that. We're an excellent team with fantastic players right now, we're in mint form and the injuries have cleared up loads. No reason not to be bullish about things.

We have Leicester at home (huge advantage), Leeds away plus two games in hand. This, just say we get beat off Brighton and Arsenal. We are still 3 points ahead of Liverpool.

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 3 minutes ago, Ketsbaia said: Yeah but they're used to this. Clearly whatever I say you're just going to frame into something highly negative. Anyone who thinks it's "asking a lot" for a team in third averaging circa 1.9 PPG to take seven points from their remaining five games (including three bottom half teams) is entrenched in their view. I just hope that despite your pessimism you get some enjoyment out of the reminder of the season, it's going to be class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean i'm not going to pretend that it isn't slightly more precarious than it was a couple of weeks back, especially if we lose tomorrow and that could happen, last chance saloon for Arsenal. But howay man, the form we're in, I feel very confident and Liverpool getting jammy single goal wins 4 games in a row doesn't change anything, we're a great, confident side.

JUICE690 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Thought the reffing was decent today. You could tell because bin dippers were getting wound up. All down to Brentford being shit. Terrible passing. Edited May 6, 2023 by JUICE690 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost once at home this season, against a team 2-0 up and a red card. Still we created loads. As long as we dont do a Villa, and stop these slow starts that we have, Arsenal and Brighton both have to work for the points. And if Pool play like they did against Brentford then Villa will score for sure. Pool cant give up points at all. We can lose 2 and we have lost 4 all season.

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 6 minutes ago, gdm said: I appreciate your calm head & optimism mate I know nerves are part of football, I was nervous before the Spurs game and I was confident we'd get a result. I'm just enjoying this season too much to worry about the outcome. Obviously like everyone I'll be disappointed if we miss out on 4th given our advantage, but at this stage there's nothing to logically suggest that our performance levels will dip. If they do then it's on us, not Liverpool or any other side. Europa League is more or less in the bag, Champions League is at most seven points away and we're playing the best football I've seen since Sir Bob. As we learnt the hard way, hope and belief are key in enjoying football and we've got bucket fulls of it. Honestly just try to enjoy it, rather than stress and unless our form falls off a cliff (not impossible but improbable) and it'll take care of itself. So what I'm trying to say is that if we throw in two ropey performances and Liverpool beat Leicester, I'll be a quivering heap watching the remainder of the season from behind the sofa.
