We do but if we keep conceding goals at the rate we are we will have conceded the 3rd least amount of goals in a season since the premier league's inception. I think I've already posted this I can't remember. Sorry not feeling 100% if I have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Crystal Palace (A) - 1 point needed West Ham (H) - 3 points required Bournemouth (A) - 3 points required Liverpool (H) - 3 points required Brighton (H) - 3 points required Man City (A) - 0 points required Wolves (H) - 3 points required Nottingham Forest (A) - 1 point required Manchester United (H) - 0 points required Brentford (A) - 0 points required Aston Villa (A) - 1 point required Spurs (H) - 1 point required Everton (A) - 3 points required Southampton (H) - 3 points required Arsenal (H) - 0 points required Leeds (A) - 3 points required Leicester (H) - 3 points required Chelsea (A) - 0 points required West Ham (A) - 3 points required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 If we'd won 12, drawn 3 and lost 5 to get our 39 I think I'd have less confidence of seeing it out to get top 4. Brighton is the only game we've been outplayed in, keep as we are and we'll be top 4 comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Playing Liverpool Brighton then man city and wolves will tell us if we can challenge the top 4 or settle for top 6, who'd of thought Brighton would challenge us for cl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Weird idea (bare with me) Will there come a point in the net few weeks/months whereby Liverpool and/or Chelsea accept they're not going to finish in the CL? Will they then be so average that they finish 7th or 8th and avoid ALL European football for 23/24 which will undoubtedly help their respective League campaigns next season? As in, writing this season off early and phoning it in? Fully aware it's a bit tinfoil hat btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully aware it's a bit tinfoil hat btw Whether they consciously phone it in or not, it already looks like they both have been at times, there will likely come a point when it is clear that this season is a write off—particularly for Chelsea.

As in, writing this season off early and phoning it in? Fully aware it's a bit tinfoil hat btw Liverpool still have the FA Cup, so if they win that then they will be in the Europa League anyway, but no, I think most sides would prefer to be in the Europa League than nothing, maybe not so much the Conference, but the CL bonus from winning it definitely adds a dimension to it, especially when (bar last season) you see some of the sides making the final: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UEFA_Cup_and_Europa_League_finals It's not done Arsenal any harm this season (or Man Utd), and if you win your group then you're just looking at 13 matches in total, and some of the earlier ones will probably be against very weak opposition - Man U had Sheriff and that Cyprus team in their group.

Guest Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 After Leicester we were 7 points clear of 5th but 5th had two games in hand, even after 1 win in 4 that's 6 points. Brighton can go within 5 if they win their game in hand. I reckon beat Brighton, get 4 points from West Ham and Bournemouth minimum, then a draw v Liverpool and we'll be favourites to get top 4.

Mazzy Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 That's a big result for us and actually makes our point gained away at Palace all the more valuable. Nice gap to 5th now and a little break from the league before a good chance to extend the gap even more against West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
