The Race for Top 6

Recommended Posts

Out of interest, how long did this take you?

Also, do you have a job?

If so, does your boss know?

If not (yet), you'll need to look for another job soon!

If done in spare evening time, you'll need to look for another girlfriend soon!

We are not top six quality at the present moment and will need to improve in the final third to even take the seventh spot. The press have got a hold of this top six thing and I think some City fans are believing it.

I have no problems with us aiming for top six but we have work to do. Playing two defensive midfielders will not get us there.

Will we? All the other challengers for Seventh have started poorly and have a host of other problems.

If we are relying on other teams to under-achieve then i don't feel that is much of a game plan. I would like for us to be candidates based on our performances

After losing against a man utd side thats the equivilant of bolton wanderers/stoke city of old with poor/ boring/ negative football we stand no chance of top six! We messed up in the transfer window and should of signed che adams as back up to vardy! and Ismaila sarr as a wing option. Also we persist on playing tielimans/maddison out of position to accomodate ndidi and choudhary and have nothing up top if Vardy is injured.  Also no plan B! Fortunitely the premier league is poor from 3rd down and all the teams are as bad as each other.  we'll finish a standard 9th this season

Interesting stats. As I suspected we are off the pace currently. It would have been nice to get a point at United or all 3 at Chelsea.

Definitely. I think there was a lot of hyesteria after the United loss where we saw it as a missed opportunity - which it was, but so much pressure was placed on the game, not helped by the Maguire link, that it was our only opportunity to replace them and show what we’re about.

 

The key is consistency, something United are lacking at the minute. We were so frustratingly inconsistent last season (beating Chelsea and Man City and losing at home to Cardiff) that we just need to find a way to keep making small improvements to results. If we can get any form of a run going it’s not inconceivable to break the top 6. It’s delivering marginal gains.

Some seem to think that winning at Old Trafford/Stamford Bridge is the be all and end all of us trying to break the top 6. Obviously taking points off these teams helps but the key area we have fallen down previously is beating the absolute shower of shite teams like Palace etc. Other than Wolves, as that games gone, we should be beating every team at home outside the top 6 which is 12 teams (Bournemouth weve already beaten obviously) which equates to 36 points. A few draws against some bigger teams with maybe a win or 2 and that would see us to +40 points at home. That means we'd need roughly around 24 points away from home to have a chance of top 6. We already have 4 points away from home so thats down to 20 which is 6 wins and 2 draws away from home against the other 12 teams outside the top 6 we are yet to play away against. Its a tough ask, and Brendan needs to change things up in certain games but its definitely achievable. Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Everton and Wolves have all looked dodgy at times this season so its all to play for. 

This. We know we can give the top six a game and on our day even beat them. Think where our season should be judged is how we deal with the teams who sit deep. So many points have gone begging with teams below us.

I agree. Just saying that the past few seasons have shown us that it isn't the "best of the rest" that gets seventh usually, but the "least shit", the one that manages to limp over the line. Wolves, Burnley, etc.

If you look at the table, you will see that your opinion is not correct, right now, we are fifth.

Heh. Touche.

 

I'm just saying I'm sceptical we have what it takes as of now to stay in that position.  Maybe I'm just being a negative nelly though
