nufc123 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Should beat Leicester comfortable. Brighton the key game. No win there and it will be the last game nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Suspect this thread will have people in 2 extremes, those that are saying we'll do it, nowt to worry about and we'll win the next games. The same camp that probably thought we'd beat Arsenal and Leeds or at least get 4 points. They'll accuse anyone concerned of bed wetting. Then on the other side there'll be those that are convinced we've bottled it, that if we can't beat Leeds then we won't get it. Liverpool are going to win every game and we'll not get the 6 points we need. The reality is probably somewhere in the middle. We are currently 3rd and regardless of results this weekend will remain 3rd. We have 2 back to back home games we cab win but by no means it's a certainty. Just got to keep the faith.

Andybiotics Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 For me, Leeds was the biggest game of our season and we've bottled it. It's still in our hands, but the Brighton game being a "must win" is concerning. Leicester I'm not worried about though, they look finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I didn't see that coming, so I'm back down from 10 to 9.5. Eff it, I'll go down to 9 because our midfield is looking much worse and we're making defensive mistakes. We're still in a strong position, with the points and GD on the board. I reserve the right to reduce my score again, but only after more unfavourable results, not before them. With two games at SJP, the likelihood is that a homer ref will be on our side, not theirs.

Sean Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) There's a saying, "don't count your chickens before they hatch" Not that we still aren't in a great position to finish top 4, but the last few weeks of everyone calling anyone suggesting that there's a slight chance we may not finish top 4 (or that Liverpool's form may improve) a bedwetter, brings that saying to mind. Yes we should still qualify for the Champions League, and yes it would still be a very good season in comparison to our preseason expectations even if we don't, but it would still be pretty devastating from the position we have got ourselves in a couple of weeks ago. Pretty sure most of the players and management team would feel the same. I'm on holiday and I'm pissed so apologies if that makes no sense whatsoever Edited May 13, 2023 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Confident but not relaxed. Still. Would feel a whole lot more relaxed if some results go our way this weekend. Edited May 13, 2023 by Jack27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that theory is that Liverpool are scraping wins like the West Ham one where a clear handball was not given. Been there and done it teams might win many tight games, but they do it with superior game management, not anxious looks at the ref and some wild-eyed loon jumping around on the touchline. I am happy to constantly bring up the fact that Liverpool nearly won a quadruple last season. Courtios single handedly stopped them winning the CL. Thanks to some remarkable regression, they are not that team any more, even with 120M+ on Gakpo and Nunez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm debating leaving the forum at the end of the season to be honest. Some top folk post on here and it had a band of brothers feel to it during the Ashley years, but it's genuinely sucking the enjoyment out of supporting us these days.

As shit as Leeds have been they are literally fighting to stay up with a little bounce from Fat Sham. Granted we could’ve been better but I think a few underestimated how tough a match it was.
