VillaChris Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 2 hours ago, Sulberto21 said: Manure have so many gaps from defence to midfield it’s unreal. Brentford will be a tough team to play but we’re better than Manure. We will dominate the ball. We need to watch their counter attacks though. Their long throws will cause us issues, they were getting shots from edge of the box. It's an awkward game really, would take a hard fought 1-0 or 2-1 as we saw down there they'll try to turn it into a scrap which suckered Kamara into getting sent off so we need to avoid a repeat and keep our discipline.

Why can't we easily win 5 more games and draw another with what's left and what we're actually showing on the pitch most weeks? If we do that Man. United still wouldn't catch us even with nine wins unless there's a huge GD swing. I really don't get the negativity on here with certain posters. Kamara injured = season over. McGinn out for three games = season over. Watkins out for half a game = season over. Man. United win a couple of jammy games = season over. Yet here we are still churning out the results week by week on 59 points with still eight games left. It's a fantastic position to be in even if Spurs are still a big threat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be positively flabbergasted if they did that. Like, 10 in a row is our all time club record to put it in perspective. It's a wild thing to say. Yep. Most successive wins Arsenal have had in the league this season is actually currently eight although you suspect the winning run ends tomorrow. Man. City is 6. Liverpool surprisingly is 5. Man. City in the run in last season won 11 or 12 straight I think? That was a team that went on to win the treble not one that concedes 30 shots to Brentford in a game so this Man. United team is country mile off that standard. I think they'll be lucky to finish 6th personally. Newcastle back to 5 points off them despite all their issues, Brighton six points back with a game in hand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the shit they're picking up results. They lost back to back to Fulham and Man. City all of a month ago. Today was only their third draw of the season so that's why they're so high up in the league as they hardly ever draw a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1505 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Spurs had 16 wins at this stage last year and were sitting in 5th place… they won 2 more games until the end of the season.. will they bottle it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely but I could see them losing all of Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Chelsea and drop points/lose v Newcastle for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Looking at Spurs next 5 I can see a win vs Forest and could easily be no wins from the other 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It could also easily be at least three wins from their next 5 depending on which spurs shows up. They could beat - or lose - to any of those teams on their day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We will likely need four or five wins of the remaining games to secure fourth. Brentford, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Palace and then one of Brighton/Liverpool may be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think our win was massive but Utd losing points the way they did is very important to our run. I was gutted by Luton mistake which lead to Spurs goal but then and us winning might gave Utd more doubts. This can give us some space with the coming run in. If Utd failed to win next game as well that would be a big bonus (whatever we do at City). If both of them failed to win then that would be as if we won at City. We’ll still have some important European games as well. So each win will really help us rotate well. Especially that we’re going to a point where European wins could be more important than league games and easier to secure CL qualification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 31 Moderator Share Posted March 31 We're starting to get to the point where just a win against Brentford and a win against Lille puts us in a really, really strong position. Getting closer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think Spurs will sneak ahead of us over the next few weeks but that we'll pull it back by the end of the season. It'll be interesting to see how the top 4 handle their(our) European games. I'm glad we haven't got an extra game to fit in like some teams do, because of the FAcup draws.

Oh I agree but you can see why some people feel that way, especially when you know any 50/50 decisions will go on their favour. That Everton pen shout yesterday for example would 100% be a pen if Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
