It's still annoying we've caused our own slide..few weeks ago Liverpool were written off.. then bammm right back in it! The writing off was dumb definitely cause it was still possible..and now more so! 

Except now we've been written off really.. no reason we can't can't do it. Guess we'll know after Tueday. Drop points and its done. Don't think Liverpool will now

Liverpool have hit form and should comfortably win their last three games and be certain of top four.

Looking at the crucial goal difference between us and Leicester,  we are +1 over them. 

If we beat them by just one goal we could lose to Villa by one,  and still get top four if Leicester failed to beat Spuds. A 2 or. 3 goal win for us against Leicester would put a lot of pressure on them for the Spuds game.

Hmmmmm don't like the ifs..still annoyed but then didn't expect to beat City...and then we did and faffed around at Arsenal. Not convinced on 3 goals lol. Depends who plays..gana be a long 90 that's for sure. And if we lose.. guess dont have to worry about it no more..or hope again Liverpool drop points..

the achievement of the past week have been noted and celebrated. But we have won nohting yet. Ofc we are a much better side, a much improved team than under Lamps, there is no denying that. TT has transformed us. But all this is worth shit if we dont win a title or at least qualify for CL. So why should a week where the points I made were most evident, namely us needing tons of chances and acres of space to score as we demonstrated vs City and Real disprove it?

I would agree our midfield has improved a lot as has our defence but my point remains - and you seem to agree, so I am not sure why you are laughing - our offence is terrible at converting chances and creating vs thick buses.

Kai has not improved under TT, he is actually only recovering some of his form he had for Leverkusen. he had long covid before so it is not fair to compare his performances with the ones from q4/2020. Mount,Pulisic are young players in development. I dont think TT has been too much of a factor in a sense that Lampard would not have been. Ziyech imo has been poor under TT apart from very few games, same under Lampard. So yeah overall our attacking output has regressed massively even though individual performances are somewhat the same.

Today proved it again. No creativity vs thick buses. Shit conversion rate.

It doesnt matter. the dippers are the danger not the spammers.

Of course they were still a danger. We have entered a dangerous territory so getting one team out of the race is positive.

Now hoping for a Big Sam masterclass.

Can they do that Sunday too

if spuds win today v wolves

and if we lose to Leicester

Villa could really fuck us so hard their last two games

if Villa lose to Spuds but then beat us

then we are but a few results away from crashing out of even the Europa League (only one true emergency handbrake in that scenario, Everton v Citeh)

 

assume that all above happens

then for us to crash entirely of out Europe the following needs to happen:

Spuds need to beat Leicester (coin toss, and the 2nd most likely to stop it all on paper)

West Ham need to beat West Brom and SOTON (pretty likely, SOTON might be tricky)

Liverpool need to win just 2 of 3, all against absolute shit teams (99.5% going to happen)

Everton need to beat Sheffield United, Wolves, and the big one Citeh, but Pep may start all scrubs getting ready for the CL final

 

if that all happens

bye bye even EL for us, unless we beat Citeh in the CL final

if we lose both of the last 2 epl games

Pool 99% likely goes above us on goals scored no matter what with only a win, a draw, and a loss (as long as that loss is by only one goal if they only win by 1 goal)

we both would be on 64 points

the best GD possible for us (we lose both by only one goal each) is 20 GD

the worst possible GD for Pool if they draw, lose one by one goal, and win one by just one goal is 20 as well, but they already have a 6 goals scored lead on us, plus a game in hand)

the only positive (not much of one at that point) is that  all 3 of spuds, West ham, and Everton can finish on 65, and it only takes one of them hitting 65 to knock pool out of CL as well (at that point would love it to be west ham, and they have the easiest games left by far) at that point
