Superior Acuña Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Soz if giggs but just noticed we now can’t make last season’s points total. Last season: 71pts Max this season: 68pts (so actually this became the case after the Chelsea defeat) Edited April 6 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing they've got going for them in finishing 6th is they've somehow already got points on the board. But this current incarnation are a solidly mid-table team. They're by no means a shoe in for 6th. Fifth I think - I think you overlooked Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hope Liverpool smash Man Utd tomorrow. We've completely closed the gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is full of if onlys that's why I can't predict what we will do these last 7 games Presume we need to be looking at 60+ points for 7th spot with how tight it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 60 odd might be enough for 6th given how hot and cold Man Utd and West Ham are. West Ham obviously have the Europa League to think about as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 58 pts is the magic number, should get 7th with that. Three wins and two draws from the last 7 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 4 wins might get 6th if one of them is against Man Utd. All this is assuming they lose tomorrow mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6th is about as good as we can possibly even go for now, comes down to a little mini-league with us, Man U and West Ham. We've got the easiest run-in and the best goal difference, looking at West Ham - I genuinely think they'll fade, they've played a game more and still have Liverpool and City to play (plus another 3 London derbies plus European games) so I think we'll edge them. Man U still have Liverpool and Arsenal and 3 potentially tricky aways. Suppose Chelsea too but they're still flaky as fuck and still have 5 of the top 9 still to play - they do have games in hand though. To even have a chance at 6th or 7th given everything we've been through this season is great though. I often tend to dwell on the negatives at times but looking at what's left, rather than what's already gone, and European football is still very, very much on for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6th this season would be almost as impressive as 4th last giving what we've had to work with. Incredible effort to still be in the mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Chelsea are the biggest threat to us finishing 7th now. WHU have a horrible run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We'll unfortunately not get anything against Spurs I don't think. Whilst Chelsea play Sheff Utd and then Everton after that. So they could be above us by the time our Spurs game is over. Thankfully after that our run in is a bit smoother, but I could conceivably see us drop to 10th before we play Palace and then fingers crossed drag ourselves back up the table over the next few games.

Paullow Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Betvictor have us and Chelsea the same odds for a top 6 finish: West Ham do have Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City (final day, so may or may not be quite as daunting) to play in their final 7 games, plus two tough matches to come in Europe, but 11/4 to 25/1 seems far too big IMO.

They got beat 3-0 at Fulham a couple of games back. Most of us would be happy with a draw but christ you reek of defeatism.

Was just thinking the same about Ten Hag, especially since the majority of injuries were in defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
