They have similar patterns of play to Villa, but I simply can't see us being as bad as we were at Villa Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If football has taught me anything over the years is the month of May there is always very strange results providing many twists and turns. With some teams going on very unexpected runs late on. Leeds held their own up here and it will be a do or die game for them. Hopefully plays out like Everton away but we struggle up against smaller mobile forwards. Bamford not so much. Brighton seem like a team that are comfortable playing home and away and are in great form. Leicester seem to have a team full of players everyone on here says we should be buying but Vardy aside probably the team I’m most confident against as a bit nice in their style. I don’t and never expect anything from Stamford Bridge regardless what form we are in or themselves. They might have Poch in place by then and receive a new manager bounce also.

The Prophet Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 If anyone is genuinely consumed by pant-shitting negativity, just stick a wager on us not to qualify for the CL at 9/1.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I just don't get how our hardest game out of 5, when we only need 2 wins is a must-not-lose. Would like to think Howe and the squad are a bit more savvy to not come out of that game thinking the same if we lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The good thing is that our recent form has earned us a blip or two, but obviously you just want it done and dusted as soon as possible. It'll be a bit more interesting if Man United lose at Brighton too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the Ashley years have a lot to answer for, in that we're always expecting the worst. The wheels would have to totally come off though, even average form sees us home at this stage.

I believe the gap was down to about four points at this stage when Liverpool chased them down. It is frustrating they've benefited from a number of very fortunate decisions of late though. Keep defending like they have of late and they'll be out of contention before long. Can you imagine the first time we're on contention for a title? It'll make this seem like a stroll in the park.
