Mantis Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Not exactly ideal results but given that both Sheffield United and Norwich were leading at half-time, I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, so lets go out and pull this off now. We're due a win against united. Long due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Everton one up. We need something today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Worked out o.k in the end. A decent point and Everton another step to the latest big name club being on Quest next season. Said this elsewhere but from the games we've shown I actually think we're a top half team based on football ability. It's just these sloppy errors that let us down in tight games and lower us down the table, not defending two short corners stopped us winning today.

sidcow Posted December 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2019 Even if we lose on Wednesday we still can't slip into the relegation zone so that leaves just one tricky match before we get our easier run of fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Think we will win enough games at VP. Our away form is truly horrendous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Best goal diff in second half of the table, 1 win off the top half, but 4 points from slipping into relegation spots (goal diff advantage) - today's point meant a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be looking up. We're only what about 5 points off 5th although I'm obviously not expecting to finish there or just below. Based how we've played so far I actually think 9th-10th is realistic if we sign 2-3 good player in January. Just need to sharpen up a little at both ends and we're not that far away from being a very decent team at this level. Hopefully we don't mess up the "easy on paper" games over xmas.

Need to wait until we play likes of Brighton, Watford, Southampton etc to properly judge imo. Arsenal and Man. United have only won one game away each and they've had a far easier run of games away and we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Leicester scored the winner at the minute 96th. Christ. What a team spirit they must have, on par with Liverpool. Don't fancy that game at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we will for the simple fact we have a good team and a great team spirit. We will miss Guilbert against Chelsea though but I’d rather be missed that game than the Leicester one.

abdulaziz1 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 A bit gutted not getting all three, but our improvement is obvious, we don’t seem to surrender too. Against Palace, Arsenal, Brighton, Bournemouth, today and even Wolves. We grow into all games and had our chances, even if we were bad at some. Ofcourse we’re losing leads which is an issue, but we’re improving which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 We are a bit like Norwich tbh. We are great when we're on the front foot but when we have to defend we are kind of helpless. Rode our luck in that 2nd half. Then again we were the best team in the 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW just looking and seeing Brighton are falling down the table a bit, 4 defeats out of their last 5 and got Arsenal away on Thursday although that isn't as hard as it used to be. Even when they were having their good run I still thought they'd be near the bottom come end of the season and think they will be if not in the bottom 3. One we should be finishing above.

Just seen the goal on the news, it didn't look that much different to the one we had chalked off today, thought Leicester striker's foot was marginally ahead of Everton defender. VAR is just roulette this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
