shailen Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 3 hours ago, The gary said: Although we all think we are going to survive we won’t . Having to play twice on the trot on a Monday doesn’t seem fair and puts us at a genuine disadvantage. I don’t think it helps the majority of the fans near me on every bodies back as soon as things go wrong . Look at Forest scraped to safety but the fans have only ever backed the team regardless of what they think . the championship is a good division and if we sort a decent manager , a spring board to a winning season . I don't necessarily think playing last gives a disadvantage. On the day we played Fulham I really feel like us losing gave Everton and Forest the energy and belief to win that day. Seeing Everton and Leeds fail to win may do the same for us. Remember Leeds got a point against Newcastle so anything can still happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetstonefox Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 Poor Leeds, took them 16 years to get back to the premier league , got promoted when covid first came along so they could not witness it live , first season in the PL was behind closed doors and they missed a brilliantly entertaining team, and then 2 seasons of rubbish where they could see it live. Puts our own woes into perspective a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanlegend Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 Bournemouth beat Everton 3-0 in their first league game by playing counter attack. Imagine it would be much of the same. Everton could lose. Leeds could lose. We could beat a weakened West Ham who will have one eye on the European final. We have superior GD. I’m just happy / surprised it’s going done to the last day. Even a draw for us tomo would be huge. I’d take 0-0 now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigGibbo Posted 21 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 21 May 2023 (edited) After yet another lifeline has been thrown to us by Leeds, the majority of our players now have to weigh up two options. 1. Redeem themselves and this season for the club. 2. Keep themselves fit for their next big contract at another top European club. Number 1 directly conflicts with number 2. I'll let you all decide which option a bunch of sheltered millionaires are likely to prioritise. Edited 21 May 2023 by BigGibbo Typo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miella27 Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 It's incredibly frustrating, if we win the last 2 games, we stay up. No ifs, buts or maybes. We've beaten far bigger odds than this, yet it appears everyone, including the players, have given up. We've got attacking players that could hurt any team Maddison, Tielemans, Barnes, Iheanacho. Far better than the shite Everton, Leeds and half the Premier League have got going forward. All we've got to do is defend for our lives and want it more. Unfortunately, I don't believe our players want it enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts our own woes into perspective a little. I often wonder though what it must have been like for the players during the Covid season(s) to play behind closed doors in empty stadia - probably had a very significant bearing on everything on the pitch I'd imagine. A lot called at the time called it glorified 90 minute training sessions on the TV! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 We need to get something tomorrow. I just can’t see Everton losing to Bournemouth. Draw, maybe, but I don’t think they’ll lose. That Mina goal could be huge for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - I think it's just desire to know the result. Yes, watching Foxes over the past decade or so has been a proper 'rollah-coastah', but I'd rather do that than play safe and follow Man City...

Dan LCFC Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 7 hours ago, UniFox21 said: The fact there's been constant noise from media and inside the club that we're too good to go down, probably has leaked onto the pitch. Forest for example were written off all year, and as such every player was playing to prove they were good enough to play in the league. None of ours players have had that, agents looking for moves away, and you can tell none of them care. I really hope given there's this attitude about our team, there is proportionate blasting of them when it's confirmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benguin Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 We’re now in the play offs! Think of it that way. semi final tomorrow final next week. Mathematically we don’t need two wins but two wins definitely keeps us up. it’s possible so I’m afraid until next week we have to cope with this slim hope!

Of course I realise it and i have addressed it. Deficiencies in defence can often (Not always) be overcome with hardwork, desire and organisation. Breaking teams down and creating chances is more difficult, we have the resources at our disposal to do that. There's no reason we cannot win tomorrow. Newcastle are no better than Arsenal or Liverpool, and teams with weaker players than ours have ground out results against them. We've just got to want it enough. Nice of you to address the player who pinged a 25 yarder in the top corner of the FA Cup Final as a Pie Lover. You know, its not like you waited 69 years for that moment, is it? 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
