NorthEastVillan Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I'm just hoping Liverpool are on the beach already Nothing to play for at all as they're finishing 3rd anyway. I'm hoping there's no fight in them and we give absolutely everything in what could be our last game of the season if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we relied heavily on Kamara,Ramsey, Moreno, Rogers, Youri, Bailey( doubtful) to get to 4th but they are unavailable for tmr.., To me it's no shame really to depend on Citeh to do finish the job at this stage., 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichW Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 If you could pick any team in the Premier League and probably Europe to do you a favour it's Man City. Hopefully won't come to it but it's a pretty good back-up option. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post duke313 Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 If we lose our next two games, and Spurs manage to get a result against City and beat Sheff Utd then they deserve 4th and we don't. If that happens, this season will still be an improvement on last season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) If we can pick ourselves up from the disappointment of Thursday then I can see us having just enough to beat a Liverpool team with nothing to play for. The injuries are really hurting us, but Diaby and Watkins being on it, McGinn played further forward, Pau finding his early season passing lanes, and Luiz hitting some semblance of form would be enough for us to win. There's a lot that needs to come together for it, but if they do then we can win. Or backup option is Liverpool really don't turn up at all and then even with half of those players having off days we might still scrape a win. If Bailey is fit enough to come off the bench then that could be the turning point in an otherwise tight game. I dont want to have a care about the city spurs result, but as a fall back option to rely on if we lose, its about as good as they come. Then we can relax and enjoy the final away day.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted May 13 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 13 After Thursday everything points to a comfortable defeat tonight. But pointed to a comfortable defeat against Arsenal. Emery can pull it out of the bag at crucial times. We've got a chance tonight 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a chance tonight You would have to think we're due something in our last 2 games otherwise we'll be ending the season on 5 defeats in a row and 1 win in our last 8 games (inc Europe). That completely goes against the form book since Emery took over. Having said that with the injuries stacking up and obvious fatigue setting in i wont be holding my breath to be honest.

Yes, I think the main reason why we haven't finished this one yet is due to loads and loads of injuries and the number of games we've played. This is also a learning period for the players and the club, having to play important games twice per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoVillan1983 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I'm just hoping those in the stands realize that our destiny remains in our own hands and that what happens to Spurs is completely irrelevant if we go out there tonight and with one last heave we beat Liverpool!

CroVillan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 We got this! No pressure for Europe, players know only two more games to go and one result gets us there. We’ll be up and about and on our game in a few hours I have no doubt at all. If the defence holds firm and is on then we have the firepower to hurt Pool. I think we’ll clinch it tonight, actually really confident we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've also been whingeing about us resting players against Man City and then going full-strength when we played them a few weeks later. But if Arsenal lose the title by a couple of points, with a superior goal difference to City, then I think it's fair to question Arteta's decision to park the bus when they played at the Etihad. Everyone was full of praise that they went there and played such a 'mature' tactical game, but winning that game could have made the difference in the title race, whereas losing by 2 points rather than 3 will not.
