Relegation 2022/23

[blueblood]

If Calvert-Lewin is injured I think the best option for next week would be to play the system we played in the 2nd half with 3 at the back, McNeil and Patterson as wing backs, Garner, Onana and Iwobi in the middle with Doucoure playing off Gray. We looked far more comfortable on the ball and caused them some problems. Can’t get too downbeat after losing to one of the best teams in the world.

So we go into the last two games outside the relegation zone, with it squarely in our hands.

Today was always a tall order and we did not play badly, just it was Man City.

Not necessarily. We are in the bottom three if Leicester beat Liverpool.

I watched last year's Great Escape against Palace from Egypt. Fly out there again on Tuesday and will watch our last two games from there.

No worries.

(Otherwise known as the Clutching at Straws tactic).

 

[Gilbert..]

Going into final two games probably not in the relegation zone. Those two games against mediocre opposition. I'd have bitten your hand off for that a couple of weeks back.

Wolves home form is excellent.
But id still take these two games and like you say fingers crossed not dropped into the bottom 3.
Got a horrible feeling though west ham will gift leeds and leicester wins.

 

[blue to the bone]

Ok my deepest apologies for upsetting you.

Dublin won...I celebrate. Everton lose miserably.

Sorry to upset you.

Just keep it on topic
No one here cares about the leinster final.

The only good news I guess is that city went into sleep mode after their third goal and our goal difference is 1 higher than Leeds

 

[Chrismac]

Next 48hrs crucial, we need RS to win and Dom to be ok.
Any of those two going wrong could put us in serious trouble.

I think Moyes will take the Leicester game more seriously than he did Brentford today. If they lose to Leeds they could still be in trouble. Don’t think there will be the same whole scale changes he made today.

Pickford
Mina Coady Tarkowski
Patterson Garner Onana McNeil
Iwobi Doucoure
DCL

Go with this formation and simply change anyone injured out.

Solves the problem of forwards being isolated

[Toffeeback]

A week ago, if you had said we would take three points from the Brighton / City games and improve our GD, every single one of us would have taken it in a heartbeat. Most expected no points and a spot in about 19th right now.

If the RS do what they should tomorrow, and we finish this round outside of the bottom three, we have to feel very good about our chances with two winnable games remaining.

Goodbye

 

[Del-boy]

I think we are in real real trouble.

 

[MACCA75]

Not a great weekend tbh, if Leicester beat Liverpool then it’s been something of a catastrophe.

 

[matty1878]

ok so say if the scenario was

west ham lost at to leeds. we lost at wolves would it be final day between us and leeds and leicester?

 

[RomanReigns]

Just realised if we lose to wolves by 1 goal and Leeds draw then Leeds go above us on goals scored ffs
