Who gives a crap who it’s against, it’s a chance to pick up 3 points when the other teams can’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Burnley (h) game should have been December so that is the first game in hand. Liverpool is also a game in hand over the teams that have played 35. Not that i'm confident against Burnley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it matters who its against, people have been banging on that these games in hand are guaranteed points when one is against probably the best team in the world 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 19th November 2021, with 10 points from 11 games. One place above Watford whose goal difference was just 1 goal worse than ours. People constantly niggling on about our current position need to remember that’s where we came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams need to be at their best to give these two teams a game at the moment and we are nowhere near that. The problem we have is that we’ll have no possession against them to create anything. They dominate possession against the best teams and we only had 45% possession against the poorest team in the league. Possession doesn’t win games as yesterday proved but we aren’t going to have the ball against those teams and they always score so I can’t see anything but comfortable wins for those teams. We have too many issues at the moment that giving those teams a game seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced Gerrard knows what he's doing. Just came back into the thread and these were some of the first unread posts since my last visit. I'm not about to dig out these posters. I think what it illustrates is the fine margins between 8th and 18th. We've had two bad losing streaks this season and still we can finish comfortably top half. We've apparently lost more games by one goal than anyone else in the division. If we'd drawn even 4 of those games we'd be in good shape now. I don't think we're far away from being a team that challenges for Europe. Conversely, we're not far away from being in a battle. Weird isn't it, the Premier League? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
