SUPERTOON Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Really think we need ASM back to secure top 4, the quality in wide areas without him is minimal and that’s being kind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Apart from Arsenal and Man City. Have any teams in the league not had ‘a bad day at the office’ and one of those games where every player is miles off it? Luckily for us, we’ve only really had one where it’s lasted the full game and that’s the only loss of 4 in the league. Where we have been comprehensively beaten and played off the park. After 30 games, that’s not bad going. If it started becoming a regular occurrence and it happened next week, then against Brighton and others. Then obviously that would be a concern.

Most of the pessimism in here is based on everyone thinking the teams around and behind us are going to win every game. All of these teams are going to drop points. We need to beat Spurs next week though to maintain any sort of comfort. Biggest game of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Miggy back is a boost. But every fullback has to worry about what ASM is cooking. And he’ll still create something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Plenty of bumps to come for all teams chasing top 4. Spurs will keep being spurs, so they'll probably win when they shouldn't then lose when you wouldn't expect it. I fully back us to beat them at home next weekend, need everyone up for it. Man Utd have lost players but have an easier run in. Losing isn't ideal especially against a team that is chasing you, but 15 points from 6 games is a great outcome. Spurs are the main rivals so losing this and beating them next week is a better result than drawing both. Still confident and I'd expect a response.

Course it is if we won today we could still afford to lose at least 3 now it’s at least 2 that’s a pretty significant drop. I agree Spurs is where our season is decided pretty much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Said it s couple of times, but the last couple of games bought us a coupe of losses. We've used one up in our remaining away game to a top half team. In the last eight, five wins or four wins and could of draws should still see us home.

Yes they are in a race, but they are a little far back and it would be a collapse from us or Man Utd if they caught either of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester and Southampton at home look decent opportunities. As do Leeds and Everton away, although tricky against teams fighting relegation. Arsenal I can’t see us getting much out of. Chelsea, who knows. Would be awful going into the last game of the season still needing a result there. Spurs and Brighton are both massive, for obvious reasons. Being at home makes it a bit easier. But next week is our biggest game of the season, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I don't think Villa are in the race at all this season, bit worried about them next season though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Villa aren't in the race for me, they're six points and a game behind, with 6 out of 7 games v top half opponents and two teams to overhaul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Five wins needed from last eight, as long as one of them is vs Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win 5/8 including Spurs, Spurs would need to win 5 and draw one of their last 6? I think 4 does it as long as Spurs is one of the 4.
