I just think a point is the early safety net for one ropey performance and also psychologically the league table when up against Man Utd and maintaining a bit of an unbeaten run.

LFEE Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 3 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Aye, to be fair though Leicester started to crumble a lot sooner than this. I believe the gap was down to about four points at this stage when Liverpool chased them down. It is frustrating they've benefitted 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. They possibly had a cup distraction one year but just got a funny feeling about Liverpool winning all their games by simply out scoring them now that their forward line has returned. Ive noted they play Leicester away before we play them at home so hoping that’s if anywhere they drop points now that the home fans have the clappers back out. Oddly fear Liverpool catching up more than Man Utd staying in the top 4 if they navigate Leicester and Brighton beat Man Utd so maybe they will take their place and not ours ??? Imagine? I remember 95/96 still not to need too ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, we need to take care of business in case the worst happens. I think we will though. Thankfully I was bit young to fully comprehend 95/96, ignorance is bliss and all that.

Ed Vinegar Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Losing this doesn't matter too much, but winning it would be a massive boost. I hope that means we set up to try and batter them in the first 30 minutes - as others have pointed out, they're on a rough run and are psychologically vulnerable so we could shut them down early. Another way of looking at it is that we drew our last meeting, away, when their team was better and ours was worse than now, and in that game we adjusted to getting battered in the first 20. Now we're on a good run, they're on a bad one, we're at home, and winning will feel like a big prize. I'm hopeful - weird feeling. Think it'll be 2-1.

alexf Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I think our lads like the big match feel. Seems to have raised their levels like in the City home game, spurs away, Chelsea home, man utd home and then most recent the spurs home. In some ways we struggle more in games like the weekend where we look a little passive and not quite sharp. So hopefully we will be at our best and Arsenal have an off day.

Ace Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Could really do with Saka and Partey to get injured/suspended tonight as take them 2 out (plus Saliba who may already be out) and these are vulnerable. Saying that the people I worry about the most are the Ref and the VAR official. If we are going to win it needs to be like Man U or Spurs where we are so dominant they can’t influence the game.

nufcjb Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) On Arteta saying Steve Bruce being one of the most important managers that England has had in the last 100 years.” "....and when you do things like that about a man like Steve Bruce, I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimation when he said that," On Klopp attacking Paul Tierney after Liverpool's win against Spurs, "We have not resorted to that, but I'll tell you, you can tell him now if you're watching it, we're still fighting for the Top 4, and he's got to play Fulham and Brentford and get something, and... and... I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!" Think it's not as easy as it seems for Liverpool. Fulham and Brentford, though may not have much to play for (Brentford can still make Europe next season), are no pushovers. Won't be surprised if they don't get 6 points as many have predicted. They got lucky against Spurs, West Ham, even against Forest, and beat a pathetic Leeds. They started badly against Arsenal too. If they drop points in any of those 2 games, we'll be right up and ready to go against Arsenal even more. Edited May 2, 2023 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Why am I so nervous when I think about this game?. We don't even have to win it technically but I just have this horrible fear of losing and then going to Leeds and also somehow losing and then going into the last 3 needing two wins ?. Just think they have strong players all over the pitch and it's gonna be a tough game even if they are bit downbeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
