Just look at how many Premier League games they have to play in a very short space of time not to mention the teams they play. I’ve said it before but if they get top 4 after that then hats off to them. They deserve it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like surprise surprise Man. United couldn't just pull back a 10 point gap in a week as so many were predicting. Yes it still would be mathematical and all that but realistically with so few games remaining now I think teams would quietly concede it's not going to happen. We can get 9 points up on Spurs by winning the two home games. Or if we don't then we play Brighton away before they play Liverpool. In that scenario Spurs would have to beat one of Arsenal, Liverpool or Man. City to finish above us so would really pile the pressure on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to have real questions about Liverpool and the end of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it before but if they get top 4 after that then hats off to them. They deserve it. Liverpool also now have a free week to prepare to play them at Anfield whereas they have the Chelsea game on the Thursday so very little recovery time and like the one in November they might pick up injuries and suspensions. We pick up just 4 points from Bournemouth, Chelsea and Brighton and that will still be a six point lead over them if they lose to Livepool and Arsenal and draw at Chelsea so that shows how close we are to 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be some collapse from their current form to only get 1 point from 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The more I think about Bournemouth, the more stress I get, possibly the fact Spurs aren’t playing. We have to rotate at this game, we can’t just play the usual team. I think our squad could handle this game at home, with some players coming second half. Winning this would give us a huge confidence and rest before Spurs play, then playing a tough match against Chelsea. Really hope we could grind the win, not sure at all how, but hopefully we do.

I am also worried about the Bournemouth game. Especially after our efforts in Lille. We simply have to win though, or we let Spurs off the hook. Again.

We won’t know what Arsenal does against Spurs, losing next two would give the a huge boost before they play same number of games as us. Thinking of all outcomes is scary, but if we win it would be totally different and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are a really decent team as well. Win this, we are mentality monsters and get CL. Or winning they way we did have given them a mental and adrenaline boost and renewed energy and purpose.
