I think playing to win will suit these players more than playing to avoid defeat, and ultimately they should play with a bit of freedom. I'd look to play Gray, Barnes and Pérez as a trio behind Vardy in a 4 at the back, and have a go at them. It's still possible until it's over. TIRED ? They've had 3 bloody months off!
Hammo Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 OK. Cast your emotions aside. I’ve done my calculations and these, I think, are the permutations for us to finish ahead of United. If they lose to West Ham (some hope!) we only need to draw with them to finish above them. If they draw with or beat West Ham by a one or two-goal margin up to and including 4-2, we have to beat them by any score. If United beat West Ham by a three or four-goal margin up to 5-1, we have to beat them by two goals. If they beat West Ham by 5-0 or more then...Europa League here we come! 1 2

Tuna Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Can't see Man United getting anything other than a comprehensive 2 or 3 goal victory over West Ham so we'll have to overturn that or hope that Chelsea slip up against Liverpool or Wolves. 2 Points for Chelsea and we beat United and we've done it. Not a chance we're capable of beating United 3-0. But I just cannot see anything other than a United win here because I can't see us scoring goals or not conceding, we are so wasteful up front and always look shaky at the back. So disappointing that we've got ourselves into this position but like I've said before we only have ourselves to blame, yes we've had injuries and suspensions but our main first XI was available for the start of the bad run in December 2019. That said we have to go for it, hope we have a bit of luck, and who knows.
Beechey Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Put all the tallest players we have on the goal line for the entire 90’.

You uave seen our lot play recently, ya? 😂😂 Genuinely if we need a draw I hope we set up defensively and play them on the counter. They're rapid on the break, even quicker than Spurs and would run rings around our back line.

RowlattsFox Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Man Utd will do whatever they can to win comfortably against West Ham. I can't see us overturning any more than a 2 goal difference. Chelsea losing to Liverpool would give us half a chance. Relying on too many results to go our way.
Silva Fox Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Anything is possible in this game. We at least have the advantage of a full week to recover and prepare for the game as well as home advantage, for what that's worth.
st albans fox Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 How can the sky guy be such an idiot and not know Cags is suspended .....
Katy Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Look. Forget it. It’s over. They’ll tonk us, lets be real. We’re not good enough for the CL, it’ll be embarrassing. Not sure I can cope with Smughead pipping us to it though 😖
Sir Shep Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Sadly I don’t think Man U will need VAR for this one!

Let's just see what happens midweek but as long as Chelsea don't win at Liverpool and Man Utd win by a cricket score we'll go into the game next week with every chance.

Playing twice a week for four weeks is very difficult when you aren't at full match fitness, particularly for players like Luke Thomas and Wes Morgan who haven't played in some time but have then played 180 minutes in four days. 2
Spudulike Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 If UEFA had got their act together then 5th would've been enough. The CAS decision has cost us a fortune. 1

Not having that, mate. Our destiny was in our own hands, and we’ve pissed it away simply because our bollocks weren’t big enough. 4

Will Madison be available? If he is would that influence whether we go with a back four or five unless we go 5-3-2 instead of 5-2-3. -1 - 6
Matt Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 All I ask is we're as little more inticate and thoughtful with our play. If an extra sideway or even better backwards pass needs to be played then all the better. Let's slow it down, think about things and if the oppositions forces a mistake then its fine, absolutely fine. They've been magnificent this 2nd half of the season, lets finish it off just as good.
Aeropars Posted 19 July 2020 Posted 19 July 2020 Whatever happens, i do not feel we deserve a place. If we did make the cut I would be fearful for how we would fare in the champions league. For me it all feels like who has lost the champions league places. Not who has won one. 14 points clear at one point should not result in a Europa league spot if you have any amount of quality in your squad. I don’t fear for next season because I have no expectations. But we need to learn that we need strength in depth. That’s something we are clearly lacking.
