Depends, if we only get 6 points it means we've lost 3 games which might mean a hit to our GD. Then it depends on Liverpool, if they win all 5 there's a good chance they've scored a fair amount.

Potentially but if Liverpool win all their remaining games then that GD could be negated, they've shown they are capable of handing out a thrashing Just got to hope if they are winning then it's only by a single goal like their last 2 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sadly means no chance of a Ketsbaia in Zagreb repeat, though happily it also means no Partizan Belgrade repeat. Oh, I'll take that deal...

ilikenewcastle Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Can't wait for this to all be sorted. Imagine how sick we'd feel if Liverpool were only a couple of points behind. Mixed feelings on Liverpool. Easy run in and I don't expect them to lose again, but surely a team defending like them cannot win 9 in a row? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 So far 2022/23… 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-3 win 1-0 win 9pts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Really not liking the idea of Liverpool being 3 points behind us going into Sunday's game. Its going to be a real test for our lads to see how they play under the pressure of that. We have to assume Liverpool will get to 71 points because their games are easy on paper, plus they have the VAR luck and shit going for them too. We play Arsenal and Leeds before Liverpool play again and we should just go out and get to 71 points ourselves and end it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 We're going to drop our dick all over Arsenal and win 6-0 so it matters not, Deckman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we lose against Arsenal we'd still be big favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ideal at all, but you have to say we've handled the pressure superbly recently. Easy to forget that the Spurs game was a pivotal clash between 4th and 5th because of the farce it became. There's no logical reason to think we won't get top 4, the odds of us missing out are 1/20 and no non-nufc fan I speak to thinks there is any possibility of us not qualifying. Does any of this make me feel better? NO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Liverpool won’t be 3pts behind us before Sundays match. Fulham have taken 6 points off Brighton this season man. Brentford beat Man City away from home as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will still have 2 games in hand! 3 points behind on level games played = squeaky bum time, but with our form & 2 games in hand! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andybiotics Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I'm worried about Liverpool, but when I thought about it this way it made me feel better about our chances...who's position would we rather be in? Ours or Liverpool's? Pretty sure we'd all be writing off 4th if we were 9 points behind them with 5 games to go. Much rather be in our shoes only needing 2 wins and a draw to essentially guarantee Champions League football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 If someone pops us to the CL spot. Then they fucking deserve it. Many of you will call me a prick for that but come on. It’s ours to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we get 6 points it also means we've won two games, so you've got to account for atleast another +2 on our goal difference.
