Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We've lost the fewest domestic games across all leagues now haven't we - after Arsenal lost to City for defeat number 3 (1 league, 1 LC, 1 FAC)? Our run in the LC balances out the first round loss in the FAC for number of games played as well so its an unfair comparison as if we had been knocked out in the first round of each cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraguy Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Haven't looked at Brighton's fixtures or spuds but I've never felt we'd make top 4, we draw to much and have any isak out far to long. 51 points left,Brighton /wolves/villa and Everton won't be easy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Before yesterday I was more worried about the Liverpool game, but Brighton is massive now. If we beat Bournemouth, we could probably afford to lose or draw v Liverpool as long as we beat Brighton the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hopefully when the Brighton game is rearranged, they've lost a bit of form. See no reason we shouldn't be aiming for six points from Bournemouth and Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I never thought we would get top 4 anyways, top 7 was always more realistic and I’d be delighted with that, fingers crossed for the cup final as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our quick acceleration has meant some fans unrealistically exporting too much now and getting greedy/slight sense of entitlement. Top four was never a given and the team is way ahead of schedule in the “project”. We’ll get Europe in some form and may even win the cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If Man City win it's still another point gained over Liverpool & Spurs and matching Chelsea. Brighton are a pest but I don't see them lasting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I think the top four points are being misinterpreted by sone. I think nobody expected top 4 this season but with both Liverpool and Chelsea being poor a golden opportunity presented itself which some (myself included) hoped we would try and do more to grasp it.

Tottenham as well tbh. Even though they're only 4 points behind us they've been garbage for ages outside of Kane and Son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Leeds, Crystal Palace, West Ham all felt like defeats, which in a way shows how far we've come but also shows what we need to do to guarantee a spot at the top year in year out, we need to develop that killer instinct and perhaps at the moment we are not there yet, hopefully we can continue being solid in the back and nick a few more wins.

LV Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Teams around us will get shit results at times too. Look at Arsenal yesterday. At least we didn’t lose and have only lost one all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I think alot of teams that have been shit this year will be far tougher games now in the 2nd half. Wolves, Villa, Leicester, Everton etc. Not many of those remaining games look easy anymore. Coupled with the fact we aren't blowing teams away anymore with our energy. West ham pressed us really well at times yesterday and clearly were happy to come here for a point. That wasn't happening before, but now teams will set up to frustrate us. Could be a difficult remaining half of season but I hope we find a way to stay up there challenging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but towards the end of the season a lot of those teams will have nothing to play for so it’s impossible to predict. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 West Ham played well, but I don't think we should forget that Wilson should have won it for us twice over like. You can’t ask for two better opportunities than a one on one and a free header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 We're still in a great position, a few draws has reigned us in a bit but with Isak and Gordon to come in and offer us something a bit different I think we maintain the challenge for the rest of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
