Wall Writer Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I'd written off West Ham as regelation contenders but on reflection, I think they are by no means safe. Next two games are against the two Manchester teams, then they are away to Brentford, before two potentially massive 6 pointers against fellow strugglers Leeds and Leicester. In between all that they've got at least two high-stakes European games. They could well be in the back in the mix for relegation come the final day of the season.

That's the frustrating thing. We have the ability to put a bit of pressure on teams, but lack the cutting edge to make that count and have an abundance of error-proneness at the back!

Hafnia Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Man City play is right in the middle of their semi final. Second leg is 3 days later. If arsenal by some amazing result lose to Chelsea tonight and Man City stuff Leeds then pep could have the ability to play a second string and still not get 3 points against us knowing that they could be home and dry anyway.

FairWooney Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Wolves have a horribly good home form at the moment. 3 wins in a row and 4 in their last 5. The only thing you can really say against them is that they don't score many. Similarly Brighton have won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5! I'd rather not mention Bournemouth having won their last 3 away games! Hopefully Fulham and City get the results this weekend against Leicester and Leeds and we can at least jump out of the relegation zone if we get a draw. Forest v Southampton the next day is anyones guess really! In my dream last night we beat City 2-0 with a worldie of a performance from Pickford keeping 6 or 7 shots out and DCL scoring 2 goals on quick counter attacks in the second half. Fingers crossed for that one! chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Hate to be negative, but Leicester felt like a must-win. They’re around us in the table for a reason. The points were there. We have to get another win if we want to stay up. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 We don 't make it easy, do we? It's going to come down to the final two games of the season. Let's hope it's against teams that are safe and therefore are disinterested. One disturbing thought I had last night (and please don't pan me for it) is about the new stadium. If we are relegated, our finances will no longer support that stadium, and a likely course of action would be for the owners to try to sell it. There's only one other team in Liverpool that has the finances to buy it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 9 minutes ago, CraigJarrett said: I don't see any points coming from Brighton or Man City to be honest. Wolves maybe so. Bournemouth have comfortably beaten us twice this season already and on top of that our fate may already be sealed before going into that game sadly. One season outside the Premier League in that stadium should be okay but if we do what Leeds did and spend years outside the PL then......selling the stadium may actually become a reality because filling it on match days is going to be tough outside the PL. No it won’t struggle to be filled, It won’t be getting sold either.

They can put up a fight for nothing or can turn up and treat it like training. At the end of a long, worrying season for both teams, I imagine they'll have beaches in mind over potentially 1 place higher in the table.

Bailey Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 The issue for me is that whilst I think we are capable of getting into good positions in all 4 remaining games, the players are showing shocking tendancies of bottling it. Their keeper made some good saves yesterday but he shouldnt have had the chance. Against Newcastle we got into some good positions and the passing was shocking. I think we need something from Brighton/City because I dont see us being clinical enough to gaurentee to win both of the last two games.
