The_Steve Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 If we play like that against Liverpool we can absolutely get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Were going to need to win our last 2 games and hope Spurs shit the bed in at least one of their fixtures to get europe imo. The other alternatives would be if Brighton fail to win any of their remaining games or Spurs fail to win either of their remaining games and then one win would be enough. Unlikely but possible.

Tonights result could have a big impact on our trip to Anfield. Cannot see Leicester getting anything tonight. Think Leicester will start the game well but like Everton yesterday, once they concede they will fall apart. Hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I was very impressed with Brightons performance against Arsenal......we will do well to see off their challenge. Physicality and intensity was well on show, something Arsenal couldn't match. If John McGinn can reach his levels of physicality against Liverpool, like he did with Newcastle and Spurs.....we are in with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Sad to think it took VAR to potentially help Spurs finish 8th. Imagine if they actually didn’t screw Brighton over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they'll be out of steam by the time they play us, and already have secured Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nor can I mate, I’d be massively surprised if Leicester got anything out of the game. It’s one to watch though, if they did pull off a miracle it would help us massively.

AVTuco Posted May 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2023 It was all in our hands. Lose to wolves and now it's not. That was a sad game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Liverpool lose tonight, they'll still be 4 points behind Man Utd come Saturday with their game kicking off at the same time. No way do Liverpool just throw in the towel against us. Plus Newcastle could easily fail to beat Brighton on Thursday and they've got two potentially tricky fixtures after (if Leicester can get a result against Liverpool then why not Newcastle? And Chelsea do still have a couple of billion pound teams.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a sad game. In the first 11 games of the season - Bournemouth, Palace, West Ham, Chelsea, Fulham, Forest and 10 man Leeds. Two points from that lot. Two ****ing points. When we played the reverse fixtures we picked up 19 points. I don’t care if people want to point to Wolves or Man Utd, or losing three games to Citeh, Arsenal and Leicester. The vast majority of the damage was done by 20th October. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results like those are why the PL is the best league in the world, anyone can beat anyone on their day. The odds are against Leicester though, Liverpool are re-surgent, then there is the ref and VAR to overcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we didn't have the shit start under Gerrard, we wouldn't have sacked him when we did, and wouldn't have Emery when we did (or maybe even at all). And we wouldn't even be in the position we are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 My gut tells me we will sneak 7th, there's something about Don Unai and this moment in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Steve Posted May 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2023 This season or next, we are going to be in Europe. However we finish, the club is in tremendous health and standing with Unai at the helm and the leadership and owners above him. We are a very attractive proposition compared to a lot of teams around us still. We’ve got a very bright future ahead of us. Yes, we lost some critical games but we will keep fighting, and I think we might just surprise Liverpool. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
