Relegation 2022/23

[MikeH72]

Yes but it was still an opportunity. Teams have gained ground so we need arguably 2 more results in the next 2.

No such thing as a write off in this position. With a bit more quality and intensity we could have made it a different game today. I dont accept the concept of write offs.

Did Leeds not miss an opportunity by failing to beat Newcastle then? What about Forest failing to beat the worst Chelsea side ever?

 

[jazzy]

Yet again, people spend all week saying we’re going to get beaten.

Yet, when arguably the best club team in Europe, if not the world beat us, they act like the world is on fire.

Absolutely no shame in losing to City. For 35 minutes we were excellent.
The problem is that we look a completely different team with DCL and if he can't play against Wolves and /or Bournemouth I fear for us.
Mykolenko gets dogs abuse on here but Holgate at left back was disastrous and again id be concerned if we go into the next 2 games without a recognised left back

It’s the manner of the defeat

And the manner of the defeat against Newcastle

Compare and contrast with Allardyce’s Leeds in those 2 games

Leeds started playing against City once they took the foot off, same as we did after the third goal

They’d also be sitting with 0 points from two games under the Count of Monte Bisto but for a lucky deflection against Newcastle

Absolute state of this, I can hear sinews popping how hard you're reaching here.

Leeds had a penalty to go 2-0 up but obviously it was a triumphant point for them.

Yes they did, but they both gained ground over the weekend. We need Leicester to drop points tomorrow because we need it to remain in our own hands.

Today was a chance for points so its a missed opportunity. If we go down its not at all because of this result but we still could have got something from today.

I didn't think any team under Dyche would be able to play a game like we did against Brighton yet the magic happened

It's impossible to imagine such a performance from an Allardyce team though surely

Like proper impossible

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Arsenal losing 2-0 to a team we beat 5-1 puts into perspective how disgraceful it was only beating Arsenal 1-0. With hindsight Dyche should've been sacked there and then.

 

[ah11984]

What an incredible that result was for us at Brighton. Schooled Arsenal here. Beat United the game before, smashed a tight Wolves 6-0.

 

[DuncanPatterson]

Brighton have gone 0 - 2 up

Looks like the positive subs have paid off for them

Stay off the heroin lad

You are the most clueless poster on this forum by a country mile

If only we had taken the same points as leeds in the last two games

 

[ToffeeTim]

ffs Tim we've just played one of the best sides in Europe.

Losing against Fulham, drawing against Leicester or Palace, they're missed opportunities but getting played off the park by City definitely isn't a missed opportunity.

Every home game we lost was a chance of picking up something. This game is not the reason we are where we are but there was something there for us today, especially first half but we just lacked that same spark we had Monday.

Teams gained ground so its not a good weekend but we need to hope the reds get something or its out of our hands.

Before anyone starts kneejerking over the Arsenal result: I dont think Arteta will want this season to fizzle out badly.

That result may hand them a kick up the arse and a bounce-back performance next week.

Let’s just see how they perform in their last 2 games against oppo that have packed it in for the season
