To be honest I don't have much faith in them just winning the next three at making it easier for us, at the very least they'll probably draw one or two of them, which is typical of their modus operandi. They've helped us more than they didn't. It's Chelsea, Spurs who kept gifting teams those points. Then Leicester, Arsenal and Man Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Did a predictor. Incredibly I had us staying up on goal difference with 35 points and that's with losing the final game to West Ham. Norwich and Brighton had 35 as well and West Ham finished bottom with 34. Liverpool had the league wrapped up by the time we played them but we still lost that game narrowly.

Wow, how have you managed to let Norwich above Spammers? and how did Brighton got a worse GD than us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton got tonked by City and Liverpool. Norwich sprung a couple of surprise results while West Ham were just plodding away with draws. I was possibly being harsh on us. We lost to Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves, Everton and West Ham and drew with Palace and Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle that might go with winning less of all. Still not sure about Watford, but Deeney and Sarr could do them a lot. Anyway for me, there is not written off games, But we will definitely bottle a lot of them. I just hope we can win whatever we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford did the best out of all the relegation candidates, getting 40 points. I just couldn't see too many wins for West Ham. I gave them a draw at Chelsea, but also lost to Norwich. It made me realize just how futile it is to predict this race. Everybody is capable of beating everybody on any day. Nobody thought Watford would smash the unbeaten Liverpool for example.

He said before the match that if people thought the won't beat Liverpool then its better not to watch the game. Liverpool loss was coming. Watford setup was good against them. Actually Watford struggled against the worse teams before that, they're playing anti-football which is helping them against the bigger teams. A lot of ups and downs. But in terms of quality, I think West Ham has the best of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Edit: Ah, Bournemouth is in 18th place not Watford. In that case, its probably between Bournemouth and West Ham. Watford will pull away and Brighton will be just out of reach. Newcastle scrap just enouugh points to stay clear. Norwich to get a late run of form but its too late. Bottom 7 will be something like this. Brighton-42 Watford-40 Newcastle-39 Bournemouth-37 West Ham-36 Villa-34 Norwich-30 Edited March 2, 2020 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing Bournemouth and West Ham i think they have more about them than Brighton. Like Crouch said Brighton are pretty on the eye but don't win football games.

Build from there. Give it to Grealish/McGinn. 3. Get balls in box for Samatta and Davis early. 4. Pray. Yesterday i liked how we did less dossing around with it at the back.

villalad21 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Jack haven't worked as an 8. He tends to drift back to our own half when we play him there. We need him further up the pitch to make an impact. ....................Reina.................... Guilbert....Engels....Mings....Targett .................Nakamba..Luiz.................. .......................Hourihane................... Elmo..............Samatta..............Jack I'm a bit thorn regarding Engels. He's lack of pace frightens me. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully mcginn back and playing in that team ahead of hourihane and I think that looks pretty good. El Ghazi, Davis as impact subs. Praying mcginn is back for Leicester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping West Ham game is a dead rubber and we're already safe We'll still be in it going into the last game I'm sure. Best we can hope is West Ham are already safe and don't mentally turn up for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I think we can get points in the last 4 fixtures and they're on weekends when the other teams around us are playing each other beat palace, beat arsenal, draw with everton and we could be clear by the time the west ham game comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vreitti Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yesterday was encouraging in many ways. If we can show the same battling mentality going forward, I think we might still have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think you have 1 more win than what I can see us getting - at the moment. It all depends on how the players respond after yesterdays defeat - has it changed their mindset to be that of pride and will to win and to grind out results, or are we going to be stuck with this losing mentality, and continue to be the leagues worst defensive team... Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
