This is why I’m struggling with the ‘we deserve to go down’ comments We deserve to go down because we should’ve got rid of Rodgers back when Covid was still around, or at any point last or this season. So I can get on board with that But to make out our squad isn’t good enough for the PL should we finish bottom 3 is rubbish. We are where we are because of one persons stubborness alone. Bang on.

kristianity77 Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 I think 4 points from our last 4 games and also with our better goal difference will be enough to see us ok. 4 points isn't impossible to achieve. However, we have backed ourself into a corner where we probably now have to win an away game. I think there is something in the game for us today if we apply ourselves accordingly. If we were to win and Everton and Forest lose, that's a huge mountain for those to climb. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It unlikely that 2 of Everton, Leeds and Forest will win 2 from 4. Possible but unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 I reckon 1 team from the 4 will be safe by the final game and it will 2 from 3 still it in. I would say one of the 4 will be down but I cant see all 3 of the other teams getting 4 points in the next 3 games. Assuming Southampton are out of the equation of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 2 hours ago, lcfc278 said: Yeah but this is the business end of the season - teams like us Leeds, Forest and Everton all have something riding on the last few games, a lot of other teams don't really have anything to play for so form will go out of the window. I think Forest could easily get at least 4 points looking at their games, Everton could get 2 wins, most likely from their last 2 games. Same applies to us regarding Fulham and West Ham. I don't think any team is going to find it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the boards decision to not invest in the summer. You can’t do that at this level, I don’t know what Top was thinking…. If this is what the board decided to do, then they should have parted ways with Rodgers at the start of the season, because it was never, ever going to work was it? He lost all interest in the project, and now we’ve got a squad of players that probably don’t want to be here anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ultimately we didn’t have the money, and the blame for that lays at Rodgers’ door (and Congerton’s) buying players who we were unable to sell on at profit. (Fofana was used to balance the books) All that reminds me of though is of me saying that it would’ve been cheaper to replace the manager rather than an overhaul of players after the Forest FA Cup debacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be easy but one of more of those teams included us has to, and history tells us someone will do, step up and pull some results out the bag. Fingers crossed we do.

Pliskin Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 I don’t envy the rebuild in the summer. I don’t think it’s actually possible! There’s far too much for us to do, and far too many players going probably not enough cash coming in….. there’s a lot of questions that need answering. This is probably the lost precarious this club has ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
