Can we all just agree that this is absolutely horrendous.

 

Yes we are grateful that our team is this good but it’s a genuinely very stressful situation 🤣

That performance against Newcastle is really going to kick us in the nuts

Course mate but I would say they are better than us at the current, not that we couldn’t win but will be very very hard

[Alf Bentley]

A now fairly likely scenario.....

 

Going into the last set of matches:

3. Chelsea 67pts  +23 GD (narrow win v. LCFC - after losing FAC)

4. Leicester 66pts +20 GD (narrow defeat at Chelsea - after winning FAC)

5. Liverpool 64pts +25 GD (2 points dropped at Burnley)

6. West Ham 64pts +13 GD (wins over Brighton & WBA)

 

.....West Ham tonk Southampton, Liverpool concede a last-minute Palace equaliser (Zaha break) after a defender slips over, LCFC sneak past Spurs (Kane OG 90+3mins), Chelsea lose to a Villa penalty (Grealish dive):

Leicester & West Ham in Champions' League.

Thoughts drift to Spurs’ position for the last fixture ......if they have a chance of Europe then they will be motivated (as per last season). If they don’t, then will they want to do Chelsea a favour by taking any points from us ???

 

remember that they really hate each other

Realistically we need Liverpool to lose one of the last 3 or at minimum draw otherwise it leaves us a bit of a mountain to climb 

Realistically...We Need us, ...nosotros ,wir, Nous, Muid,  Noi....to win our 3 games...

Then no pressure..!!!

Its what we do...!!!

Chelsea need to win it. Which might help us get the win ourselves.

[Jakemoore]

The Chelsea league game isn’t a must win. It’s a must not lose. If we’re drawing with 10/15 to go, we don’t need to push for a winner but they do. And that could open up opportunities on the counter.....just a shame we don’t have a fit Harvey Barnes to stretch them.

[Leeds Fox]

After looking at the table. Almost any likely situation that comes down to GD, means we’ll have the worse GD out of the 3 (Us, Chelsea and Liverpool). 

[mucfox]

It's all still in Foxes' hands. Even if we lose at Chelsea, I still believe in the CL.

Because Chelsea don't win at Aston Grealish. Then 3 points against Spurs will be enough. That makes me very optimistic....

West Ham would really need to tonk Saints for that to play out. Did anyone say 9-0?

It’s not horrendous, we can still leap frog Man United and win the FA cup. This is great.

I agree, lose that then it is out of our hands 

Not necessarily. Before we play Chelsea, Allardyce/West Brom (who have drawn 2 out of their last 3) will be playing Liverpool at home and will want to give the fans some consolation. They could very well get something. If so, Liverpool will be heading into the game vs Burnley under immense pressure knowing anything other than 3 points (not easy vs Dyche enjoying home advantage at the end of the season) will see them finishing beneath us, before the Spurs game which, if we draw, will get us over the finish line to the Champion's League.

[KFS]

Channelling last nights fvckery:

 

Do you think the American owners of both clubs conspired to have Liverpool win that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding of course

Yeah I think it will be harder than what some believe for Liverpool... it is hard to win 3 in a row against anyone, especially under the pressure

Yes. And even if they do beat West Brom, it means we simply have to focus on ourselves with the objective of going to Chelsea and getting something from the game which is not impossible, especially given our away form.

Nothing is a given, but you have to believe the pressure is still greater on those beneath us.

Glass half full:

 

Let’s just beat Chelsea twice and relax for the last game of the season.

 

Glass half empty:

 

Finishing 5th on goal difference to Liverpool.

Huge pressure on Chelsea to beat us on Tuesday. They will feel the nerves too. I still think we can beat them

I agree it’s massive games for all the clubs fighting for top 4. A season will be defined on a couple of key decisions in a couple of games.

[Matt]

Looks like Man Utd fans fears of playing Liverpool, their protests, postponement and attempts to cause more trouble were justified.

 

Absolutely bobbed it.

 

Utter shit **** bastards.

 

”Super Club”.

Liverpool got 4 points from their fixtures against Palace, Burnley and West Brom so far this season. W1D1L1.

You think we are beating Chelsea and Spurs? 

Well:

a) it’s certainly possible

b) we don’t need to beat them both; just beating Chelsea would do it.
