StriderHiryu Posted 24 April 2022 Share Posted 24 April 2022 Proper spicy down there at the moment. Burnley have to play Villa twice. Everton's best hope of points is against us again probably given our European excursions. Leeds all of a sudden look in big trouble to me. But now that Burnley are above Everton I think the Toffees will go down. They really lack fight as a team, and despite us playing quite badly against them, never played like a team desperate to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 24 April 2022 Share Posted 24 April 2022 The optimists at LCFC will look at the table as it stands and say we have not lost in 20 of the 32 games played. However, the pessimists will argue we have not won in 21 games of those 32. Funny old game, football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 24 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 24 April 2022 Just now, HankMarvin said: Many fans often bemoan Top not "going for it" and spending that little bit extra to push us a little bit further over the line. IMO it's actually the reason why we missed out on the Champions League twice in a row. BUT, look at Everton as the reason as to why he hasn't done it. We've had a pretty awful season and yet are still in the semi finals of a European competition and safe in the league. Even if Everton survive this season I think they are a shoe-in to go down next because they simply need too much work done to them to make them competitive. Their signings have been awful. If they go down I think they will do a Sunderland or Leeds and be down for quite a while. That's what happens when a club is run badly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, a clear indication it isn’t about just spending to progress. Makes it even more special what was achieved prior to us winning the title. it will be interesting to see how Newcastle progress over the next 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare I say, they have spent wisely, how long that lasts I don’t know. Howe is doing a good job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 24 April 2022 Share Posted 24 April 2022 Burnley are displaying what can be achieved without a long-time manager. Should they survive the big question is; can they do a Leicester City next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we could have done with fewer injuries and perhaps a bit more luck with key decisions. But the way the manager and players have performed in 2021/22, consistently disappointing and letting us down, merits no more than a mid-table finish.

Still the true test was always Roma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
