Wymsey Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 Quite doubt that Man Utd won't be a force to be reckoned with for a long while. There's a lot that needs changing at such an iconic club, slowly. Think Ronaldo's presence has actually made them backwards..
Tielemans63 Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 Rare that these hyped-up games actually live up to the billing but I really enjoyed that. Great game to watch.
Shane Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 Enock Mwepu looks like a good player for Brighton. 7 goal contributions in 13 league matches this season.
Bryn Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 Top six isn't impossible is it. West Ham, United and Wolves are all patchy. Winning the ECL is obviously more important mind.

fox_up_north Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 West Ham are 11 ahead, with 18 points to play for but we have 27 to play for. WH won 47% of their games and drew 18%. We've won 39% and drawn 24%. Rough numbers mean they win 3/ draw 1, where we win 4/ draw 2. By my estimate that should put final standings - West Ham - 61 pts LCFC - 54 That puts 7 points in it, if we JUST follow all season trends. However, we know that form, confidence and injuries play a big part. I wouldn't say it means be confident but, there is definitely an outside chance we could sneak 7th. 2

Quite interesting they had a belting early part of the season while ours was shit. Both in a Euro quarter final and now we’re picking up momentum. Could the slow and steadies win the race? Maybe

Would be nice to have a strong finish to the season for a change.
Strokes Posted 10 April 2022 Posted 10 April 2022 Finishing top 6 would be a tall order but the fixtures are quite favourable. The key will winning the games in hand. It would be quite a remarkable turn around if we managed it.

Dan Posted 11 April 2022 Posted 11 April 2022 That draw against West Ham is annoying now. Win that and we'd actually have an outside bet of Europe. It's just too big a gap I think and I cannot see us winning that many games, especially if we're making 7 changes for league games (which I fully supported). 4

The draw against United is driving me nuts. The league officials gift them that point (robbing us of two) to keep them in the race for top 4, only for them to go and blow it the next game against Everton. 1

Oh, why not - COYB Lets be honest..even with a Top decent run, Wolves,Manutd,W.Ham,Arsenal/Spurs would ALL have to have catastrophical EOS runs... Finishing even 8th After how it has panned out, & the standing points difference would still be a massive achievement... If we Advance further in these last few steps in Europe, and we see our Quality players also return to near their best , then I assume, our own players,will want to put the shifts in,but they will all want inwardly a piece of the European action, then inadvertently & not delibrately not quite push the Boat out for the League games... 1

Maybe But its Not just about 1 team W.Ham...4-5 other Teams would have to fail big...& cos some will play each other, 1-3 will automatically pick up points, Keeping us just enough away & at arms length !! Nice to hold that dream, until it really becomes impossible..( Sort of mid-table..Great-Escape). Rodgers should contact, Pearson,Huth & Cambiaso for a pow-wow..

Questioning Rodgers is one thing. People so desperate to get rid they were calling for the likes of Potter, Hassenhutl or even Cooper to replace him was always ludicrous overreaction though.

He's done well at Leeds but for him to do what you claim he could do, he'd need to be better 4 of the current 8, Leicester and inevitably Newcastle. 1

Surely the same can be said for every club in the league? I don’t think he has too many haters, more people pointing out he hasn’t really done anything as a manager yet.

Some have to Take Shanksy's Pony & Keep the odd Kiwi around & not have them wandering off.. I Never wanted him at Leicester, as we started to move up a notch but in my Eyes hes done a Good job.. This forum aus become too entitled in the criticism of some Teams & managers,they have somehow forgot, that we used to be also hard sloggers...& Enjoyed the idea of the league table tilting the other way...

I live in Portsmouth and know several Saints fans, they all would’ve laughed at the idea that Hassenhutl was a better manager than Rodgers. Edited 11 April 2022 by Sampson
