6 Pointers

[Stevosevic]

I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not but we have a lot of 6 pointers to come this season.
 

This squad seems to roll over so easily under pressure I honestly don’t see them handling these occasions very well. 

 

Really screwed aren’t we  
 

Palace - Away

Bournemouth - Home

Wolves - Home

Leeds - Away

Everton - Home

West Ham - Home

Finishing against West Ham at home makes me feel

 

(Also the phrase  "6 pointer" really has been bastardised since it was first coined in the 90s)

Gonna be a very painful watch to the end of the season barring some Miracle and the players wake up from their sleep walking and start playing like the house is on fire (which it is actually!)

Made a point in another thread, that while the games in April generally look good on paper, when you drill down a bit further, we're just too weak and meek. We don't have the aggression to get stuck in to teams, or find it within ourselves to really put teams under pressure. We get too affected and almost within our own heads when something doesn't go our way. Yesterday was a prime example.

How many teams, who aren't in control, feel more confident after they miss a penalty ?!

 

Generally it'd just be nice to keep a clean sheet.

It'd just be nice to not look absolutely shit scared at the start of every single game.

It'd just be nice to shithouse a win every now and then. Take 3 points when we don't deserve it. 

It'd just be nice to be on the receiving end of some luck. Not to rely on it, but just have something go our way.

 

The optimist in me sees April as a massive chance to get some momentum or confidence leading into a very difficult May.

 

The pessimist in me thinks we'll just crumble under the psychological pressure and not be able to revert away from Rodgers' stubbornness to get us through it. And that's banking on squad staying fit and injury-free...
