ben1505 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I thought it unlikely tjat Spurs would lose all 4 of their tough games... they've lost 3 of them, hopefully its irrelevant but i'm hoping its 4 from 4.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 "youri tielemans close, zaniolo close, moreno close." - Unai on OS. I hope they all three make it and play. But i fear he's just talking hopefully and keeping liverplop off balance. We need fresh legs desperately and i'm clutching for other options. Kellyman? Monroe? kessler hayden? Tim? based on playing time, it seems that Tim might be closer to ready than the others. Maybe a three man mid-field with one advanced? it would give luis and/or mcginn the freedom to push forward more. i just fear that the same tired 22 legs are going to get the same flat performance and results we have seen too much lately.

jacksonho Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 8 hours ago, gilbertoAVFC said: A draw doesn't really change anything other than to rule-out the goal-difference element, which is very unlikely after they stuttered past Burnley. We have to put everything into this. We can do it if VP is rocking. If we get a point it means that Spurs have to win against City and S Utd, a draw or loss in either game and it is over. At this stage they can get a draw against City and then overturn goal difference of 8 minus however much we ended up loosing to Liverpool and Palace. It is unlikely but still not out of the realm of possibilities. For example if we lost combined 4 - 0 to Liverpool and Palace then Spurs would have to beat S Utd on the last day by at least 4.

Caddy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Given that Spurs play SHU I don't think GD is much of a buffer. I get scoring 5-6 goals or more in one game is asking a lot but Sheffield are the worst defensive side in Prem history, it has to be expected they'll go at least 3 goals clear minimum. Frankly I think it's more likely than not that if we both finish at 67 points, Spurs will take 4th on GD. I still think we'll squeak a result from the final 2 despite the fact that we're cooked, to say nothing of 115 licking their chops about playing Spurs. But this is far from done and dusted.

Zero7 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Our legs have gone, unless we get players back for this one I see a bit of a thrashing coming and I’m normally quite optimistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I’m feeling a draw today. If no team is winning by around 70 minutes I can’t see either team really going for it. A nice exhibition type atmosphere would be nice for us at that point. Everyone just having a laugh. Or is a point not enough ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the chances are, we will get done. That's the reality. Of course we will get behind them, we always do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted May 13 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13 I have a funny feeling we're going to pull off a surprise result here, as we have done this season a few times against "bigger" teams. I know it would defy all logic based on our recent performances but this team has a habit of turning up for a big occasion in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that'll knock the wind out of their sails before we kick off. Should be a well matched game, then......because the wind has certainly gone from our sails.

RichW Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Hope we have got one big performance left in us tonight but can't see past a routine Liverpool win unfortunately. Going to assume we won't see Tielemans or Rogers tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I don't mind losing, but there has to be aggression, intensity, and pressure seen little of that since the start of the month. Injuries are a side that team is good enough to get a result. Injuries shouldn't be an exuse. Need leadership to who's going to stand up. Why wasn't there a prematch press conference and injury update ?. Edited May 13 by ozvilla28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
