Why we must be cautious

[Brainy]

Just imagine if the 90+ Burnley free kick didn't go in..

I think if that didn't go in we'd have atleast 6 more points anyway

Watching Sunderland vs Everton made me realize just how good we are playing.

We should win this game, they are terrible at the back and will be nervous as fvck.

Attack them from the start like we have done recently at they won't be able to handle it.

I know all season we have said 'luck hasn't been on our side' but in the last 2 Sunderland games they have been extremely lucky.

Crap at the back, no real threat going forward and a pretty slow team all over the park.

Matching the attributes player for player, we should hammer them!

Vardy, Schlupp & Albrighton should have a field day.

Huddlestone, Livermore and Dawson going back to there old ground. Tottenham nothing to play for and seemingly don't want Europa league. Hull could easily win 1-0. We lose 2-0 to Sunderland and we are level on points with Hull and identical goal difference. In my opinion we have to win at Sunderland. None of this draw nonsense.

 

so you think hull will win their last 2 games (and gain 4 goals on us) and we will lose to qpr

 

im not saying to play for the draw because quite honestly sunderland are there for the taking, meaning we will probably guarantee safety with 3 points. 

 

sunderland is not win or bust. if we are 0-0 in the 90th minute i will not be calling to throw everything to get a winner. (even if hull are winning)

Who Dares Wins Rodney!!!!

 

Who Dares Wins!!!!

 

If we play with the same intensity as we have during the last 6 games, we should come away from the Stadium of Sh1te with at least a draw.

Agreed, just propesterous and a complete lack of understanding to say we need to win at Sunderland.

 

Even if all of our rivals won the table would look like this if we draw at Sunderland and fixtures remaining would be:

 

Newcastle 39

Leicester 38

Hull 37

-------------------------

Sunderland 37

 

Arsenal vs Sunderland

Chelsea vs Sunderland

Leicester vs QPR

Newcastle vs West Ham

Hull vs Man Utd

 

A win against QPR would guarantee safety

A draw against QPR would need Hull needing a win, Newcastle getting at least a point and Sunderland winning one of their games.

Even a loss against QPR we still might finish above Hull if they draw and Sunderland would need to win or two draws.

 

All in all if we draw at Sunderland it would take a remarkable sequence of events to see us relegated.

Of course we can - their form is awful at the moment, and there is some real fan spirit at the moment

[Benguin]

I think to make this thread appropriate for our current situation, you should change we and must around and add a rhetoric question mark.

[Dawko]

We just need some bigger 'Clap Banners'

We might have still had terrible form but the two points ahead of where we actually were might have meant we didn't get so far behind we never got the rocket up the arse we needed and actually finished 20th

[Guest Col city fan]

We need to keep playing how we've been playing.

To be cautious now would be the wrong thing to do.

I hope Pearson doesn't play for the draw. But I don't think he will.

[Steven]

Bold > (cautious = losing) 

[NotTheMarketLeader]

This should have been the mindset all season.

Agreed. It was a successful formula last season, and what the players are suited to. Why Nige ever tried to change our style of play I will never, ever, understand.

Fortunately out of necessity he's had to return what worked before, and low and behold we look like the team that trounced the Championship once more.

I think this could be similar game to burnley away, sunderland will go for it route one degenerate into similar frantic pace not a lot of quality, also if they have initial success they will get 

large crowd behind them, i dont think pearson will have us sit back we have to do what we have done last few games attack from the start shut the crowd up an early goal and the

crowd will get on there backs, one more win should do it i can see hull winning at spurs they are terrible at the minute, also utd are in top four now so will they be bothered last

game?.

[cc_star]

Leave everything on the pitch, except for regrets

 

On current form it's 1st place away to 6th place.

 

Tight, & I think it will be as cagey & scrappy as the Burnley game, could go either way

[desertfox2]

It's in our hands that's the main thing. One more win and we're safe. In the last 6 wins out of 7 run we have built up, we have beat sides way, way better than Sunderland. We seem to be a confidence side. When we had none we looked terrible when we get on a run of winning games we look incredible. No way we should be looking at anything other than trying to win the game.

I can see hull getting something against spurs. Said it quite a few times on here but take kane, Eriksen and lloris out of the spurs side and they would have been relegated this season. They have conceded 53 this season even with a great keeper. same as burley, 1 less than us. Those players aside they are not a good side at all this year. Unless kane or Eriksen show up Hull could get something. We have to beat Sunderland. Qpr would love to send us down with them and it would be a game our lot would be under a lot of pressure if it goes to last game of the season.
