StanSP Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 As crazy as results were this weekend gone, I wouldn't put it past us to beat Arsenal, while some of Everton/Villa, West Ham/Forest and Southampton/Leeds drop points. Forest also have Everton after the next round of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 20 February 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 20 February 2023 (edited) People are getting into a flap. I honestly expected us to six points worse off now and in the bottom three. The Spurs game showed, they do have the ability to rally themselves. We played one of the form teams in the PL yesterday. I think we hit a wall when Mandy got booked and just spiralled into being pissed off with the officials. I had no expectation of us staying up - but I am quietly confident now.

I think Wolves will get something on Friday at Fulham. The Bournemouth and Palace games are more comforting, and hopefully both will lose. However, looking at the fixtures we really can't afford to lose against Arsenal. A draw would be good, and draws in the other six-pointers. It means we've stayed pretty much as we are, and seen off a top six game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrefelderFox666 Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 I think we'll end up around 45 points. Comfortable by end of April so we can focus on the FA Cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 (edited) Despite my opinions I’ve never bothered with the worry of relegation, I’ve always thought we’d be alright in the end - despite our style of play. However, It’ll be down to our resolve, how we ‘break teams down’ and mentality. I have massive concerns over all 3 of the above, we have previous to raise these concerns. April’s a huge month.

Stadt Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 We score too many to go down but we're doggo defensively. We've conceded 3 (41) fewer than Bournemouth (44) and we've conceded the 19th most xGA too (39.1) It's progressively worse defensively year on year under Rodgers 22/23 1.7 xGA per game 1.78 goals conceded per game 21/22 1.25 xGA per game 1.55 goals conceded per game 20/21 1.21 xGA per game 1.31 goals conceded per game 19/20 1.19 xGA per game 1.07 goals conceded per game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodgers however insists that no - nonsense defenders like Souttar and Faes try to play expansive football , we will concede goals. We have to get the balance right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll never learn. Should've known Mandy would get realised. Typical of Rodgers to let his Mandy get realised tbh. Rodgers out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 February looked a very difficult month. If we get a point on Saturday that is 7 from 12 which I think we'd have snapped arms off for. Still too close for comfort but we should have enough. This was also the time last season our form improved. Need to keep our heads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 To be fair you stick a decent keeper in goal and that 1.78 GA per game probably drops to 1.5-1.6. Still poor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I thought we set up well yesterday and played well for a while, and a lot of it we were undone by awful officiating. I’m not going to be critical of Rodgers or the players for the game yesterday and there were plenty of positives from our recent improvement. However, the poster you have quoted is exactly right that we didn’t show any mettle. When things went against us we did fold. So politely, I would suggest you are guilty of what you have put in your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weller Wing Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 Played pretty well yesterday but United went through the gears and had some help from officials. We'll stay up if we're fortunate with injuries and the opposition don't get too near the Ward's goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
