But I agree Emery is performing wonders. Crucially though we're putting pressure on them. A few weeks ago there was little hope for us. Incredible really.

This is true when thinking about getting into Europe but, assume all those games in hand get won and we're still 8th, two points off 7th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Utterly bonkers that we're 6th, I can't stop looking at the table, still think our small squad is going to be our achillies heal, we picked up another injury today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take the points on the board at this stage. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 There's something very nostalgic about looking at the table right now. It's like we're back in 2008... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Watching the highlights of the other games, looks like Spurs/Brighton was an absolute shitshow on the touchline. Both managers sent off and will probably get touchline bans next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Good to have it all in our hands. I still suspect we will come up a bit short, but if we do, the disappointment shouldn't overshadow what a remarkable job the manager and squad have done to make this look so possible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle are very comfortable in top 4 now so while holding our nose it's very much in our interests they beat Brighton at home. If Brighton lose at Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal and Us away they're going to need a very good home run to get to 60 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Glad the Newcastle game is at home. Of all the teams we match up against, I think Newcastle is the worst current match up for us. Need to dig deep and glad we have a week for prep. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TH Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2023 This time last week we were going into the Chelsea game in 11th and level on points. Now we are 6th and 8 points ahead of them!? Mental. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play like we did today I think Newcastle would beat us. Their players are a lot more clinical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically we aren't catching them even if we win so I'd be o.k with hard fought draw from that. Isak will be a handful but they're missing a few, ASM wasn't involved today and Almiron has been injured for a month. Hopefully Kamara can return and manage 30 minutes as Bruno Guimaraes is a top player in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we have a weeks rest now and hopefully Cash, Kamara and even Coutinho can return to the bench next week just to give us some decent fresh legs. Today showed aswell if we're regularly playing three times in a week next season we need much more depth to rotate as a couple of injuries and we're back to just putting the same 11 out most weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they seem miles away Chelsea were probably 10 points clear of us six games ago aswell. The run currently we're on is little different to what Newcastle were doing this time last year. Trick is to sign well over the summer and keep the momentum going start of next season. In a funny way Newcastle just missing out on 7th probably did the trick as I can't see them being on such good form if they were playing Thursday-Sunday regularly. For us though european qualification would be huge as Emery knows how to win these competitions and it would also keep our top level players like Kamara and Martinez very happy indeed and also perhaps persuade some of their international teammates we're well worth joining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viivvaa66 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 We are moving up the table because we are winning. If we want to keep our current position or go higher we need to keep winning. Next week we have Newcastle, Brentford and Fulham, that is going to be a lot tougher than this weeks Chelsea, Leicester and Nottingham. To be realistic, 3-4 points next week would be ok, but most like leave us out of the top7 spots. If we could do a miracle and get another three wins, we would have at least a foot in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
