Leicester_Loyal Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Everton will nick it I reckon. We'll probably beat Arsenal, lose to Man City and lose to Chelsea.

Looking at 6 points for a good finish. Anything less than 4 will be disappointing. Yeah, I reckon 4 should be the goal as well. A win against one of Arsenal or Chelsea (both shocking form in general), and a draw against the remaining team or Man City (we know we can perform against them, but we are away).
Ceirboy Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 Obviously nothing is impossible but you’ve got to think 10th will be the finishing position. Any repeat of the last two first half performances though could see us on -6 goals or more.

That’s why I expect to see some tactical tweaks

However, if Wolves lose to Arsenal and then beat you. Then we win and Everton slip up there is 1 point separating the 4 of us with 2 games to go.
KrefelderFox666 Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 Would be nice if we got to the last game of the season against Chelsea and we still had a chance of 7th, rather than a dead rubber game. Even if we are 3 points behind Everton, Wolves and Watford before kick off. However, I think by the last game of the season Watford will be clear of us and Everton, Wolves may still be with them if they can beat Arsenal tonight (and there is a good chance given Wolves love playing the top 6 and Arsenal are dreadful away from home).
Haywood_6 Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 I think Wolves might beat Arsenal tonight, our chance could be gone after that
Ric Flair Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 It's not so much is finishing 7th, I just want to see the points total being as high as possible. Last season we finished 9th with something daft like 47 points, if we can finish the season on 52-53 points then it's an improvement. The league is getting tougher for the clubs outside the top 6. We must continue to improve and the gap will narrow.

We must continue to improve and the gap will narrow. Agree, would be nice to break the 50 point barrier which is a improvement on other years (apart from title winning year). Next year we really need to push on if we are serious about 7/top 6 in the league, for me we are still losing to many games over the course of the season. Exciting times ahead bring it on. 
CosbehFox Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 If you place it in the context of what’s occurred this season, top half should be considered excellent (which it probably won’t be)

Exactly this, we have had a couple of "mediocre" seasons now where we have played some good football and showed lots of potential, but were unable to be consistent. If you think about the silly points we threw away this season, in particular losing last min to Wolves and Watford, those points are the difference between 7th and 10th. I hope we can push on next season and get regular results, away form this year has been good but the home form really needs to improve again if we are to challenge top 6. Let's see if Rodgers can get these players to be a team that are hard to beat and know how to get results. Finish this season strongly and build on that for next season. I just feel there will be other teams improving next season too, this and last season have been "easy" to get 7th. Hopefully a nice cup run, in particular FA Cup is on the horizon too.
Dan Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 Every time I think it's gone the others all proceed to shoot themselves in the foot.
Nalis Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 I would not love it if we beat Man City to help Liverpool win the league but we still end up finising lower than 7th...

I dont think we are beating man city away in the penultimate game of the season in reality. with how we are playing, they will score, we will score as well, but they will score more.

SixtiesFox Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 It's all about performance levels and building towards next season. 7th is out of our hands, so the pressure is off. Playing top 6 teams provides the perfect opportunity to test ourselves against the elite teams we need to challenge if we are to take the next step on our amazing journey.

Beating them away would be a massive statement of intent from us and an enormous confidence boost. Speaking personally, I could care less who wins the league. And let's face it, where we finish will be exactly where we deserve to finish.
StanSP Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 When was the last time we did the double over Man City?
moore_94 Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 People need to look at what has happened over our season to see that even being in the running for 7th (whether we get it or not) is very impressive - We lost our best and most creative player - Our well loved owner was taken from us in a tragedy that greatly impacted everyone at the club - We went on a run mid season of just 1 win in 8 games - We sacked our manager And still we are in and around the chance of a European place with teams who have had “good seasons” Even if we don’t get Europe this season, be proud of what the club has still managed to do.

lgfualol Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 Being 10th feels shit. How've we choked the last 2 games so badly.
Blanchflower78 Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 I think wolves and Everton are better sides, Watford are having a very good season. With some tweaks in the summer we can definitely compete
Dr The Singh Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 Wolves thoroughly deserve there position, hats off to them, they have been exceptional
