Bazly Posted 4 May 2021 Share Posted 4 May 2021 Last year top 4 was achieved with 62 points, this year 65 should do it, 66 all be a cert with goal difference the only concern. So win this and the beach towels should be fluffing up in the drier with just one point then required from the last 3 games to bolt on top 4. i have the bore draw feeling though.

They also have 5 less points and inferior goal difference. Hoping that Everton do a number on them and we beat Newcastle. It may only require 1 further point then.

If it does happen though, I'll probably top myself. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident they haven’t got the defensive capabilities to keep us out for 90 minutes, even if they score first. We’ve just got to really go at them. Get this win and it’s more or less done, plus it heaps the pressure on the chasing pack, even Chelsea would struggle to close that gap, they’ve got to play Man City and Arsenal. If we win, and Chelsea lose, I’d be confident to say that’s that, bar a major collapse on form. The difference sis we’re not losing games, Man City and West Ham aside we’ve not been on a bad run all season, and I’m confident we’ve got enough in us to get the job done. Could be a “shackles” off moment on Friday, I think we will stick a few past them. ...would love to get this done with a couple of early goals!!! If they come out and press in a sustained basis then we are going to have problems. Keeping the Wing backs close to our Left and Right Centre Backs to negate the spaces left when the Wing Backs push forward is essential but that can only happened if we play a high line or sit and attempt to counter. We haven't got the personnel to counter effectively and I would prefer Perez in ahead of Maddison to sure up our midfield. We need Youri free, else we are going to struggle to create.

And that was 66 points but I accept that’s possibly illogical Edited 4 May 2021 by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this season it will be about the same (66-68 points) but with a more competitive field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are desperate for a 4 at the back, then go 442, but not Kel on his own fgs, put him with Vardy, and cross your fingers that Youri and Wilf are seriously on it too, else its overrun in midfield you blame Maddison, I personally blame the system he's playing in. for me, madders is the most talented player we have and must be played, he is a creative outlet but what he isn't is a box to box midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either get in the CL (most likely) or are very unlucky and go into the EL, due to Arsenal winning the EL and Chelsea simultaneously winning the CL AND dropping out of the Top 4. Unlikely I would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday Posted 4 May 2021 Share Posted 4 May 2021 We simply have to get top 4, if we don’t I really fear for the players state of mind for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
