2020/21 - The Run In and Top 4 chances - an Ongoing Analysis

[srex9]

We can have a moan tonight but let's get behind the lads for the next 4 games. All this negativity really can't help. It's a shit result but it is still in our hands. Compared to last year most of our squad is still fit and we have always bounced back well this season following poor results. Keep the faith until it can't be done.

Way too convincing........

[Gerard]

Amazingly we're still odds on for top four believe it or not with an implied 52% chance.

 

Trying to look at any positive I can find if Man Utd beat Villa on Sunday they'll go 7pts clear of us with a game in hand and virtually cease to be a threat to their 2nd place which means they're more likely to rest their first XI against us. We still have points in the bag compared to our rivals and possibly very winnable fixtures in Man Utd (a) & Tottenham (h). It's not over till it's over.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Think we'll take 3 or 4 points from the last 3 games, we're relying on others to drop a few points now, can't see us winning two of the three.

Don't knock it to you've tried it...

Bookmarking some of these comments for when we do actually end up top 4...

it’s a huge ask but if anybody can do it we can  

[enmac]

Find it hard to understand but we are still odds on to finish top for with Paddy Power. 10/11! Suddenly, I'm optimistic. I wish. 

[enmac]

The best odds for winning the FA cup are much worse than us finishing top 4. 7/4. This doesn't fill me with optimism for the week ahead.

Be very careful if you ever visit Pattaya. 

[Foxaholic ME]

They may be classed as fit but most have  played worse than the players they replaced  when they have come back. When did Fuchs or Mendy let the side down 

[wardyfox86]

It shouldn't even need Rodgers to put a rocket up em after this showing (not that he ever does)

 

Losing the last 4 games would be devastating, but if we show the same desire, urgency and quality of the previous 4, then we need change. Would be inexcusable.

Where is @UpTheLeagueFox we need some fresh hope

The clubs fifth and below would all swap places with us right now.

Sit back and let whatever happens happens.

[Dave Fishwick]

are we going to bottle it? I'm really worried now

[cruzFOX]

Time to break the safety glass and read the riot act to the entire team Brendan. Enough pussy footing around anymore. They are all experience pros this level of performance drop is not acceptable. If we need Top to give them a good kicking so be it. In business he won’t accept sub standards so why should he in football. Sort it out quick! 

[KFS]

Leeds, Man C, Southampton and Everton all win this weekend and we smash Man U next week...

 

Yeah right. We’ve fvcked it again  

[KingsX]

Today's result dropped us from a 79% chance to fifty-fifty on fivethirtyeight.

Have you not ever done the mcdundee test? Rookie.

[Royston.]

We've fooked ourselves.

 

If anyone else gets whooped like last night we'd be thinking the same.

 

Its not a one off, we have steadily collapsed into a boring sideways/backwards side with no spark and no bottle.

 

Only positive being the teams left to face probably won't park the bus meaning we might actually make things interesting.

[Eskay]

To the people saying the next 2 fixtures are very winnable.....have you been in a coma the last 2 weeks?

 

Chelsea just smashed Real Madrid to get to the champs league final. They are not worried about Leicester showing up. Trust me. 

 

Not won at old Trafford since the Tony Cottee days. 

 

The 2 very winnable games were 10 man Southampton and Newcastle. We didn't pay a glove on either. We don't deserve champions League. 

[FrankieADZ]

ive probably said it already but we've lost far too many home games this season to warrant UCL football,

be just like lcfc mind to not lose any of our last 3 games tho, but the way weve performed the last couple of games, we'll lose all of them

There is one problem, we have a squad incapable of stepping up. They’re weak. We can get behind them as much as we like, but they will crawl on their knees until, we inevitably flop to 6th. Unfortunately I have zero faith in this squad.

It’s amazing that five of the title winning side are still in and around this squad. how they cannot get some mental strength into the others is baffling. 
 

makes you wonder who was really the backbone of 15/16 ......... clearly Brendan can’t hold a candle to Claudio when it comes to the mental side of the game .....
