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

[Dahnsouff]

Think the Man Utd v Liverpool game will be tough for Man Utd unfortunately, as they could probably do with Maguire back, but he is clearly done for at  least this game.

Unfortunately my phone has made me look quite stupid and I can do that on my own easy enough

The 'routes' to Top 4:

• 4 points gained guarantees it, regardless of other results
• Chelsea draw a game AND we beat them, regardless of other results 
• 4 point swing with Liverpool AND 1 point swing with West Ham
• 3 point swing with Liverpool AND 1 point swing with West Ham AND better goal difference than Liverpool

Bellend Sinclair talking shite on TalkShite at the moment. Basically if you have a strong squad, it is fine to rotate and OGS will be responsible if Liverpool and West Ham fail to accumulate enough points over 38 games to finish top 4.  Interesting.

[TrentFox]

Ridiculous amount of possible permutations, but I honestly believe that, all things being even, we probably need one more point. 

[filbertway]

Talksport in shock anatagnositc views in attempt to drive calls, clicks and shares.

[Mythyaar]

Just reviewing LFC's remaining fixtures and it's apparent that we had to beat Man U last night. Huge result!!

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I would say I'm confident on the final day against a Spurs team that will likely have nothing to play for, but then I remembered it will likely be Kane's last game for them and he'll help himself to about 7 goals.

If we get one more point they have to win every game and make up 10gd in the process. I mean, it's probably not likely. 

Yep getting that point is probably....the Needle in an haystack...or it could be like finding a blonde in Sweden...

I felt 68 all along, and I still think 68.  Two draws, one win.  Gonna be tough to get anything off Chelsea - they're in a stunning run of form, still have nothing assured, and really don't need to rest anybody to prioritize the CL match.  If they rest anybody it won't be in the league game, it'll be the FA Cup.  

 

That leaves Tottenham.  Not that good, and absent needing to beat them, we might beat them.  But all the pressure on us will be huge if we do need a win.  Hopefully they won't be playing for anything at that point.

By winning last night we at least now have a surprisingly good chance of already having enough points in the bag. Liverpool fail to win two of their last four and West Ham and Everton slip up just once then we are home irrespective of losing both games. That Newcastle match is even more annoying now.  Even a draw in that match would make me feel so much more confident.

Indeed...or two!!!

[The_77]

After the Man United game yesterday, Tim Howard predicted Leicester would be overtaken by West Ham. 
 

The West Ham that’ve lost three of their last four will have to run the table and hope we don’t pick up any points.
 

Phenomenal prediction.

I think about 50% of the time we still qualify if we don't get another point this season.

So if Liverpool win 3 out of their 4 remaining and/or West Ham win 3 out of 3, (which IMO 1 is quite possible) we still need at least 1 point + hold that +10 goal difference over West Ham, which could narrow with 3 wins from them and a loss for us. 

 

This is still far from over IMO. It could easily come down to needing a draw out of the Spurs game if we lose away to Chelsea. 

 

I'm all for the optimism but this is Leicester! Work to do and more stress no doubt 

 

 

 

I said before the Newcastle match we just need one good week when we win and our opponents don't.

 

if Manchester United can beat Liverpool tomorrow that will be enough barring a perfect set of results for our opponents until the rest of the season with one of them winning all thie games and us losing all of ours.

[RonnieTodger]

I would absolutely love for Liverpool to finish 7th and be in the Conference League. They probably wont even turn up.

[Gazza3]

Don t forget the impact of having home support for last game . Could be the difference if we need a win

Their attacking threat will be too much for Liverpool I think and they will out score them

Still bothers me that some of you seem content with a draw to Chelsea in the league.

 

Sure, it would still be beneficial to us, but I want to beat them twice next week and ruin their domestic season for being one of the ESL snakes.

 

If it's Liverpool that pip them, so be it, but I want to do our job of spoiling the cartel to whatever extent we can.

 

WTF?  Chelsea were the last in and the first out of the ESL cartel.  Arguably they ensured its failure when they pulled out.

 

Liverpool were one of the founding members, planning it for years.  Flush them from the CL at any cost.
