Popular Post useless Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) We've won two of our last three games so not sure why we can't win more than two games for the rest of the season, one was in the league cup, but Leicester would have been more fired up for that than they would have been for a premier league game, so no reason to dismiss it. Even if you ignore the semi-final, we've still won two of our last five, and three of our last seven.

We’ll be lucky to get another two wins imo. If we can beat a full-strength Leicester side, then we can win another 2 games. You think Chelsea / Utd / Arsenal / Spurs / Wolves at Villa Park will be a foregone conclusion? Not a chance. All those teams have stumbled against weaker opposition. Samatta is a huge upgrade on Wesley from what I've seen. Not sure where all this negativity has come from just because of a 2-1 loss away to Bournemouth. Our form at the moment is good! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup is a completely different fish imo. We beat them in the cup, yes. But in the cup the pressure is off. There are no points at stake. We're yet to beat a top side in the league.

nepal_villan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Results continue to go our way. It's really up to us to save ourselves. 15 points should do it. Possibly 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably yeah, My worry is almost how many draws we get. We aren’t free flowing enough to win lots of games. Can we turn enough Should-be losses into draws and valuable points. I think we win 3 if I'm honest, maybe 4. Which in theory should put us within touching distance. I think 5 wins plus would be a big task. Turning the likes of Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United from (let's be honest) probable-losses into valuable draws or-ideally- a win or two, will keep us up. We should go into United and Arsenal particularly confident imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 The pressure isn't off in a cup semi final, Leicester were desperate to win it, as they haven't been to a major final in twenty years, and it was a chance for them to win another major trophy, an opportunitly like which they might not get again for a while again, as as well as they've done in recent years they're not a LIverpool or Man CIty, or even a Chelsea or Man Utd, they played their best possible side and tried their best to win. The pressure wasn't off us either, as we want to win our first trophy in over twenty years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 We should be targetting wins in each of the next two for a start, Tottenham aren't very good away from home, on their travels they've only taken three more points than us, and Southampton have the worst home form in the entire league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the cup the pressure is off. There are no points at stake. We're yet to beat a top side in the league. I'm sure the players will disagree with you, especially as we played Leicester after beating Watford, we were in a good position in the league compared to the couple of weeks before. I'm sure if you asked most of our players (possibly the manager) wether Spurs game (considering that we are out of relegation zone) more important to win or the Leicester semi, most would say the Semi. The only down side of it is that we were expecting Man City to play us. If we had a chance to play a lower team then that definitely important. I'm also sure if you gave any Leicester fan the choice to either beat us in the league or the cup (during the circumstances) they'd choose the cup. Spurs game won't defend our whole season. Yes I'd agree if it was a 6 pointer, but as it stands, the cup is important. I'd take beating City at the final than beating Spurs in the league. We just need to slowly take ourselves out of the s**t, but once we do that, we might not find another chance to win a trophy. All of our players are having more pressure during the semis or the final than playing top 6 in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
