timeEd32 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Just now, SUPERTOON said: Arsenal were very fortunate to get out of that early period though tbh. We were as well at Everton (more down to them being shit than missing any chances). We were a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not a combination of home teams tending to come on strong early and us taking a few minutes to settle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It’s Leeds. Big Sam or not. We have more than enough about us to put these down over 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye fuck the home advantage as well, they still have to play the game with their shitter players. The fans aren't going to put the ball in the net.

Billy Warthog Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 When we lost against Liverpool and Man City, we won our next 5. When we lost against Villa, we won our next 3, scoring 13 in the process. Time to turn on that form again, right to the end of the season. Fat Sam should never be an issue for us ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 This will be the first time after his spell here that Fat Sham will be up against an NUFC that actually tries to be a serious football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I’d be more worried about a spawny 1-0 hit and run type result than them being in any way better than us. We have the quality to put these to the sword (much like Everton) so I’d be devastated if we get robbed there. Not quite a must-win but, christ, it wouldn’t half ramp up the pressure on our next games if we didn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Winning this one easily, players will want it so fucking much. This team hasn't yet shown any signs of getting down when it's been tough and I don't think they will show it now, even with the pressure on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I didn’t see their game against City but looked as though the 2-1 flattered them from the stats. How did they do/play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were utter shit, Haaland missed about 4/5 clear cut chances, and then scored from their one trip beyond the halfway line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Another reason why Targett should get a game is because he can take some corner duties off Trippier. They have gone stale again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have gone stale again. We do win an obscene number of corners mind. Haven't checked but we must be well clear for most in the league. There was one clever one yesterday where instead of the usual pass to the winger then Trippier cross from a deep position, he got the return pass more towards the byline and it caught them out.

How many "near" headers has Burn, Botman and Schar missed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is that from what I have seen lately the delivery from set pieces haven’t been quite as good as earlier during some better parts of the season.

Ben Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Every game we play seems massive, I would love to wipe the smile off Big Sam's face with a win here, if they win his smugness will be unbearable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
