Win 4 of our last 8 and Ireckon that'll do. At the minute, finishing 5th guarantees CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest ought to be OK but we have struggled for a while now and it is imperative that Ndidi and Vardy stay fit, we will miss Ricardo massively too as our right wing options are abysmal.

Countryfox Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 Sorry to sound a bit negative but after what I saw yesterday I’m slightly worried ... some players anonymous and JV looking like he was never going to score ... Tielemans a shadow of his former self ... that was exactly how we played when we went through our bad patch ... patch, not just one game, but a series of games ... we haven’t got time for that now. There is a lot of quality in the chasing pack and we need to be at our best. Hope we get it sorted ... soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 (edited) Man Utd won't win every game! Sheffield utd lost too. I would take the draw to be honest. Watford beat liverpool not so long ago and are fighting under Pearson! Chelsea have Man City next so there is a very good chance the points gap will be restored. No team has come back as sharp as they were before. Our team are young and fit and give them a couple of games to get the sharpness back. I'm not worried! I was also pleased to see in the post match interview that Maddison was really miffed they didn't get the three points. I thought he looks up for it as did Vardy although he didnt get the feed he needed he did look sharp. A few were off the boil and I think we missed Praet too. We will be fine! No worries!

And yet we still drew, we are quite fortunate in we still don't lose that many games and I'd be astonished if we don't win 3-4 of the remaining 8. That's possibly enough, but if it isn't then we don't deserve to be in the CL anyway as we have effectively been very mediocre since mid December.

twister Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 disappointing result, chelsea were not that great. I know my football and scouting and when I saw the players villa were buying pre season I knew they'd be in trouble. Bang average overrated players with egos using it for another move, just as fulham did last year and qpr did in the past. Douglas Luiz is the type of player who looks superb on the training ground but will go on holiday at times in matches. The bought a injury prone targett, engels has been poor, nakamba bang average, trezeguet only great when he wants to be. Grealish and Mings must surley have their eyes already on moves away. relegation written all over them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonfox1884 Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 If we can win 4/8 which is perfectly feasible then United/Wolves would need to take at least 20/24 points (probably 21/24 with our GD) to catch us. Even if we only beat Brighton, Bournemouth and Sheff U or Everton and picked up the odd point here and there otherwise we’d still probably be ok so no need to panic yet by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manini Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 It is mad, because when we pumped Villa on the Monday night before it was all stopped, we were “back”, we’d turned a corner, we’d found our spark again, we were home and hosed bar the shouting for top 4 - the third best side in the league by miles. Now we’ve gone and got a point away from home first game back and it’s completely changed again. We’re basically gash and Man United, Chelsea and Wolves are three of the best teams to ever play in the premier league. I cannot keep up seriously. We’ll finish the season where we finish based on merit, the same merit that has us currently sat points ahead of each of Chelsea, United and Wolves. We beat Brighton on Tuesday and Chelsea slip up at Man City and we’ve got 6 points on them again. Then what? I suppose we’ll be home and dry in Europe again until the week after! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Shep Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 I’m sorry, are people getting their knickers in a twist over results after 3 months off? Fvck Villa they’re shite, it’s all about how we do and I’m sure we will do just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixtiesFox Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 We are still in pole position and we should maintain our third place over the next 8 games regardless of what the 'chasers' below do, but only if we can turn our own poor form around. We had such a massive cushion before Christmas, we seem to have been sleep walking since. Has Rodgers been a little too conservative? Based on what we saw before the enforced break and for much of yesterday's game this may well be the case. We seem to have become too circumspect; perhaps trying a little too hard not to lose rather than trying to win. How close will he allow the gap to become before he sets the reset button and we adopt a more positive approach? Remember when Pearson hit the reset button, albeit he had little choice, with just 9 games to go? I can understand Rodger's dilemma, but getting the right balance and the timing right will be key. Our destiny is in our own hands! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shep Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 Well I’ll quite happily see Villa and West Ham go down, the latter especially after they creamed themselves wanting the season to end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
