messi11 Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Easy win. 72 points to play for. Beat Brighton and we are right up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Maybe we should just replace manager for each game, new manager bounce 100% win rate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 4 points away from 8th. It is quite possible to catch that over the next 25 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 2 hours ago, messi11 said: Brighton are beatable Absolutely. It's not going to be an easy game, but a lot of people seem keen to downplay our chances. Ultimately, they're lower in the table than the redmancs, so if we can dominate them, we can beat bloody Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home form is actually really good. Terrible performances but solid wins v Everton and Southampton, a draw v Man. City which is pretty much a win given their superiority to all the league (and we were losing that), today was historic in its own way and we smashed Brentford. When you think of all those chances we missed v Chelsea really the only poor one was West Ham and even that was a tight margin game when we could've been leading if the corner had stayed in. 4 wins from first 7 at home so we've actually got a realistic chance of hitting double figure home wins in prem for first time since 07/08 season. Just 6 goals conceded is very good going aswell, that is actually top 6/7 stats. Just a shame we don't really look like grinding out an away win anytime soon although I'm hopeful a manager of Emery's calibre will change that and we'll get some clean sheets as a building block. Would be fine with a 0-0 at Brighton next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that when Emery have a few away matches under his belt, we are going to jump in the away table too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when we have seen what Emery can do with our squad, suddenly the next 3 are winnable. I think you @messi11 predicted 4 points from the first 4 games under Emery, I thought it was well optimistic. Now it would be disappointing if we only managed 4 points from the Emery’s first 4 games. What a different one match can have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted November 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2022 We have a top 7 squad, I already believed that under Gerrard and since then it’s really been proven. We are better than Newcastle in almost every area on and off the pitch, but they are absolutely flying with momentum and are already a way ahead on points so will be difficult to catch this season. We can certainly beat and finish above Brighton though. It’s **** Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not doing well by accident. Don’t think I’d take any of their players over ours though, current form excluded and ages considered otherwise there’s a case for Trippier (good player, getting on a bit), Wilson (let’s be honest, he’s an average PL striker), and Almiron (form of his life). Even Guimarães I prefer Kamara and Luiz. Many would make our squad of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Our best chance to get into Europe this season is to win a cup. I think it will be extremely unlikely we finish top 7 unless we go on an amazing run of form. But the like of West Ham, Leicester and Wolves seems to have stagnated or regressed, Newcastle and Brighton have slipped in there, so you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
