Keegans Export Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 6 minutes ago, George Bailey said: I don’t see Chelsea losing a game. 9 points for them I reckon. 7 needed for us which is going to be tougher. I think we finish 7th which is at least European competition and given our season, pretty decent overall. Not if Man Utd win the FA Cup and Chelsea finish 6th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even starts talking about United at one point in an article that includes us. The bias is ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Magpie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, buzza said: Manu look knackered with Palace (in top form) and Arsenal next, we control our own destiny and can only get better with injured players back in reckoning. Chelsea have the easiest run-in but are still a couple of points behind us. I don't think Chelsea, or Man U for that matter, will find their visit to Brighton is a nailed on 3 points. Ask Villa how they got on just yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) I fancy Man Utd to drop points today but I still think we'll need to at least avoid defeat at Old Trafford as I can't see us winning all of our last 3 given how unpredictable we have been away from home all season in terms of level of performance. Chelsea are a worry as well. Hoping that Forest will put up a performance in their final home game of the season against them as if Chelsea drop points in just 1 of their remaining 3 I can't see them catching us.

The thing that gives me confidence with regards to our away record is that in 24 it's not been that bad. Won 4/7 with losses to Arsenal, Palace, and painfully now Chelsea. We've just been and battered a team away from home and I suspect the players will be well up for the Man Utd game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I don't think Chelsea's run in is as easy as a few seems to be making out, Forest and Brighton (A) are difficuly games. The only 1 i'd say they big favourites for is Bournemouth (H). Fair enough we have the toughest looking game on paper Man U (A), but I think the way we play makes that a bit easier than it looks, especially if they have no CBs against Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Ten Hag: "For over 10 years I am managing, I never was so many injury issues". "Now, in some positions, we don’t have choices. In the left-back position, Shaw has had only 15 stars this season and Tyrell Malacia has zero starts and is not even available". Sure, their current defence situation is crazy. If he is talking about that specifically, then I can understand. But if he is talking about the amount of injuries and absence days thoughout the season, they barely make top 3. Might not even make top 3, as Chelsea, Sheffield and Brentford has also had huge problems. We are way way ahead of them, and they won't catch up with us on that.

timeEd32 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I get some serious Pardew-type vibes from these quotes. “What concerns me is that in 18 months I have never had my favourite team on the pitch once, because players were injured – that concerns me. In fact there was only one time, against City at home last season. That is the only time I had a full squad to pick my full team.” “In all the other games there was an injury aspect that we have had to deal with. “That’s normal in football, but not as many as we have had. And I know that when we’ve had so many injuries in crucial key positions, you can’t deliver the results you want to bring. That’s OK, but that’s my truth – others can have different truths but I can’t put any energy into that.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth noting that the most games they've won in a row so far this season is three. They're on a 2-game streak currently and they won two in a row early in the season but that's it.

wormy Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Us somehow managing to end up in the driver's seat for 6th with the season we've had is terrifying me in its own right. Similar to last season tbh, even if slightly lower stakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, even if Chelsea hadn't turned a corner those two teams never seem to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. If we do what we know we can do, we'll get there.
