Relegation 2022/23

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Superb performance and two goals scored away from home for the first time since mid-March.
Stunning atmosphere, too. We as fans really got the team over the line.

As Carragher said: that is a massive point for us.

I really can't see Leeds getting another point all season. And after next weekend Forest have got an exceptionally difficult run-in. So if we get one point before the last game of the season and then beat Bournemouth that will almost certainly be enough.
This time last year were 5 points adrift and firmly ensconced in the relegation zone. We can see salvation!

Brighton are a very good side, mate. It's likely Patterson and Keane will start which I think makes us extremely vulnerable.

Of course they're not so good we should write the game off but I am very fearful of not just losing but quite a big beating.

I know they're a good side, but they are not a great side. We can get a point there, believe me. We did on the last two occasions there against a better Brighton team than this IMO.

It is vile that we still haven’t reached 30 points and we are in May.

Super Frank to thank for that and the clowns at the top

Unfair. The mid season World Cup has skewed everything

 

[nsno-chris]

They're not going to put out a second string anyway. They'll rest one or two but they're not going to take their foot off Arsenal's throat until the league is won.

Think the champions league is Peps goal at City. I think he’ll rest a few against us, but unfortunately that means people like Bernardo Silva and Foden will get a run out

 

[dannyboy]

Got to hope they are knackered from a significant run of games and particularly Thursday v Man Utd.

Defo. Doesn't help they're right in the mix for Europe next season. Games against sides who have nothing to play are what you need this time of season.

 

[zaitken]

Fact. We're not gonna win against Brighton or Man City so I have no reason to see why we don't play 6 or 7 at the back for those fixtures.

You clearly haven’t watched Brighton recently, they are as good as anybody outside of City and Arsenal at full strength.

We could with a bit of fortune dig out a point. But I’d be very surprised.

 

[devogue]

Leeds run in is really difficult. Only hope for us

 

[Clarky cat]

We just have to hope something goes our way very quickly because right now it doesn't look good. I'm with you on trying to cling to the positives but don't blame the other fans who see how desperate our situation is.

Something did go our way, they missed a penalty. I’m not all about “clinging” to positives either, I can see how desperate our situation is by looking at a league table. That is the only compilation of stats that count. We are bin juice but so are 4 other teams so until it’s over why chuck the towel in?

 

[davek]

The upcoming Forest game with S'ton maybe holds the key. Lose or draw that and they wont win another and we can get past them. Leeds wont win again either IMO.

A couple of draws and a win gets us safe. It could well be a draw and a win does.

That was a fantastic away point tonight. It gives us more than a chance.

We just need to keep pressing for wins. Do that and we'll get one and maybe a couple of draws...or even 2 wins.

Not getting beat tonight was enormous.

 

[coollino]

anyway, no match for a week. should be a great week in this thread

 

[MichaelEFC96]

I’m sure Man City’s second string will have a tough time against us. It’s almost like they won’t want to try and force themselves into contention for the first team

They have a title to win…

 

[JohnRoss23]

There will be some surprise results , and given one win may be the difference there’s almost no point in predictions.

I just hope we are one of those surprise results

 

[Clarky cat]

You missed out Iwobi should be in Centre Midfield.

Good assist for Leicester from there today tbf to Alex
