nepal_villan Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) What makes me nervous is that in 3 of the last 4 seasons Leicester (x2) and Arsenal have thrown away UCL spots from commanding positions in the last few games of the season, so it is not as though a potential collapse would be unprecedented. It's actually pretty normal in recent Premier League history Edited May 6 by nepal_villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejoker Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 My worry is that Man City won’t need to beat Tottenham. Arsenal are away to Man Utd on Sunday I think, and it’s the type of game United could pick something up. If Man City are happy with a draw vs Spurs then that could spell trouble.

oishiiniku_uk Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 2 hours ago, foreveryoung said: Burnley Saturday, City Tuesday won't help there cause either. Burnley will give them a tough game I assure you. Exactly. Burnley could still stay up if they were able to get a win at Spurs and beat Forest at home on final day (assuming Forest lose to Chelsea). I'd back most teams against Spurs on current form. If you can put in a decent corner or have pace on the counter then you've a decent chance of beating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably work better if they didn’t have Burnley before that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally if it has to happen like that they only beat Burnley by a goal. Hopefully Burnley will attempt to keep things tight for an hour rather than gung ho from kick off otherwise Spurs will beat them 4 nil like Newcastle did as they are certainly not good enough to go toe to toe with Spurs. We'll see as Burnley have drawn away to Chelsea and Man. United in last month so not like they're complete no hopers and Spurs are actually in worse form than either. So in that scenario (and we lose to Liverpool by a single goal) then situation on final day is this: Us 67 points -19 Spurs 64 points -12 There then needs to be a 7 goal swing in Spurs favour on the final day e.g we lose to Palace 2-1 and they beat Sheffield United 7-1. Now I know Sheffield United are one of the worst teams we've seen in a long while at this level but it's not like they lose by six goal margins every week. In recent times they've lost 3-1 to Liverpool and 4-2 to Man. United. Also got a 2-2 v Chelsea. Can Spurs just turn it on and score 7 or even 8 in a blink of an eye. Again form isn't suggesting that at all, they only scored two v Luton when they won that game. This is all still very much in our favour as long as we don't attempt ridiculous high line tactics v Liverpool as they will expose us and beat us by a few goals. Spurs only beating Burnley by a single goal is far from a terrible result though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you watching the Man U game? I seriously don’t know how we lost to them. They are awful, can’t defend, space all over the pitch and basically Palace toying with them without finishing them off. Man U basically have no central defenders at the moment of any decent level. Arsenal should destroy this team, they could seriously rack up goals against these.

GingerCollins29 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Pep will have looked at spurs recent games (as will haaland, foden et al) and think not only can we beat them, but theres a chance for loads of goals. No way will they play for a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
