Memphis Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Some of our fans are starting to remind me of our players out there today. One setback knocked them completely off their game and we're seeing the same in here. In actual fact, little has changed. If we do what we are more than capable of doing, we will be in the Champions League next year. On the other hand, if the team loses the mental edge and starts to play scared, we won't. But there's nothing to indicate that will happen against sides like Leeds, Leicester, Chelsea, or even Brighton. If we want the players to be calm, we need to do the same as supporters.

But here's the top 5 chances of the game by xG: 1. Odegaard at the end of the half 2. Schar's header 3. Saka's one on one 4. Isak off the post 5. Willock's first half chance To say they could have scored four or five is extreme (though sure, they could have had they been both extraordinarily clinical and fortunate), but to completely ignore our chances like we were never in the game is an incredibly negative view of what we just watched. Fairly surely martinelli had a one on one in first half. martinelli off the bar in 2nd half too? so if it wasn’t for pope (granted it’s what he’s there for) the goal, saka, martinelli 1 on 1s and odegaard on stroke of half time could have saw arsenal score 4 in first half. Odegaard brought out another great save from pope just after martinelli’s 1 on 1 Edited May 7, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The good news is we go to Leeds and fucking murder them. Then everyone gets to go back to saying James Maddison isn't good enough for us etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I think it's more than fair for our fans to be worried. It's been ingrained in us for decades. Just like the mentality of the players takes time to change, it will for us too. I was hoping this game with be the 1pt of our 7pts needed. Womp.

Per xG both of those chances were half as good as Willock's and also not as good as Murphy's off the post. And Willock's 2nd half chance that Xhaka made an excellent block on was essentially equal to the Martinelli off the bar chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Football at this time of year is far too chaotic to know anything for sure. Not even pessimism really, we should be confident and I am, but I think those odds against and 96% chance charts have got to people's heads a bit, it's nowhere near a forgone conclusion Edited May 7, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) What's wrong with people being different anyway? Some people are cautious some are optimistic generally and especially in football. It doesn't make you a top fan one way or other and the same people at different times have been on both sides The idea of fans having their doubts isn't the new thing so much as people reacting to this long established part of being a fan. It goes with the territory, part of what makes it what it is and probably preferrable to the existence of a Man City fan. People had nerves and doubts in the best season we've ever seen (95/96), that's not negativty and it didn't effect support levels, on the contrary probably as a release, and that's irrespective of how it panned out, was completely justifiable to be that close to something and not feel how you did in earlier in the season.

Those stats are bollocks at the end of the day. Football is far too random. And as much as our form has been brilliant recently, we have also had bad runs this season. So getting only 4-5 points from the last four is perfectly possible. I still think we need Liverpool to fuck up one of the next two for me to be confident.
