SAK Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) We’ll get top 4, had chances against our hardest opponents in the run in even though they were the better team. Hitting the post twice and forced saves from Ramsdale (Schar header) and last ditch blocks (Willock chance). Frustrating game as we made individual mistakes plus one of the players of the season was really off his game today but he gets the benefit of the doubt. Leeds were hopeless the other day against City and just shit finishing from Haaland (hard to believe) and an Akanji mistake made the scoreline look respectable. Leicester were shit against Everton the other night. We should beat those. Edited May 7, 2023 by SAK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool seem to have found some form at the right time but they aren't infallible and Man Utd have reverted to that team they were before Rashfords 6 week hot streak. The power is still in our hands and we've still got 4 very winnable games to play. This. Just have to remember no one can guarantee results against the top sides in this division. Arsenal were better IMO, but we could have quite easily won it as well. We just need two wins out of four, and I think we'll get at least two, more likely three.

duo Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 If we had got well beat I'd be worried - but we weren't. If Ref had done the right thing and given that Pen it would have been a different result. That said we had our chances, just ball didn't fall for us today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We choked away a key run early in the season and we can definitely do it again so for the love of god stop. No need for this like - everyone is entitled to post their opinion whether you agree with it or not, that's kind of the point of a forum. Personally I think we'll do it with the games we've got left - there's every chance luck completely goes against us (a bit like today with all of those near chances) but that's out of our hands. If we play like we have all season against Leeds, Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea there are enough points there for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man u made today very manageable. Like I said to my lad at full time. How many times have I lost my voice this season through goals and silky runs? So only our second live loss at St. James’s this season. I can live with that after the shit show I have put up with for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I’m actually feeling a bit more confident after that game for some reason. Just got to remember 2 draws against Arsenal and Leeds isn’t as good as a loss and a win. Got to keep playing positive rather than safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The Arsenal game always felt like a free hit to me. Disappointing to lose, but it’s hardly a shock result. If we play like that vs Leeds next week we’ll win comfortably. Wins vs Leeds and Leicester will likely be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Man Utd are the nervous looking ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
