tezzaleed Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 think we'll get 10 pts from that lot. reckon Spurs and Man utd will drop at least 3 or 4 it's. so don't see us losing much ground on either of them. tbh I think 5th is looking our most likely finishing position now. whether we get CL now largely depends on how English clubs do in the next round in Europe. I might actually watch some of it for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 3 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3 I’d be thrilled with 10 points from those games. Fairly sure we’d be wrapping up 4th place with those results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's only one occasion in the last 10 seasons where 70 points wouldn't have got you 4th Funnily enough that was Emery's Arsenal that it happened to. Hopefully not a bad omen!

Sulberto21 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 115 charges. Once we get more quality and more experience for our current players then we’ll sort these scum bags out at their patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Only once in our last 7 PL games have we won on xG. That was against Forest. Unlike the season up to that point where we were winning games on xG and on scoreboard We will be found out soon if we don't improve our performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Encouraging performances from Diaby, Zaniolo, Duran and Rogers. They'll be important for the run in with Europe too. Tough game out of the way and some legs rested too, beat Brentford on Saturday and we're well on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question, we were better than Forest, Fulham and Wolves and could have won by more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos we were clearly the better team that day. Pretty much sums up why I couldn't give a toss about xG if that's the case.

'Being found out' from a side that's had a load of injuries over the season, along with Europe, sitting 4th in the table with a +17 goal difference is ridiculous to me. The lack of respect for what we're doing in such a short space of time is beyond a glass half empty view. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Robbie fowler getting that chance should have a higher XG than a left back who’s scored once in his whole career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I think when we finish next Thursday, we will look back and think it was a good decision to save players tonight in a game we probably would have lost anyway. Win against Brentford and Lille woukd put us very much in charge of our own success this season. And saving players and giving fringe players game time will certainly improve our odds in our two next matches, that are of extreme importance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas if Duran just headed it into an open net it would have been high? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
