Relegation

[bluelegend]

Burnley aren’t out of it yet. If they don’t beat Villa at home the they’re looking at two away games they’re unlikely to win. That tees them up for a huge last game against Newcastle.

Need Stevie Me to do us a favour and win at Turf Moor and their heads might go.

This.....we need them to be beaten and the wobble could set in.

 

[Zatara]

Got to get 4 points in next 2!! Big ask with our away record, but needs be.. Hopefully Mina is fit and holgate keeps up his solid form

I said before the game that its like a mini league now.

We needed 5/6pts from first 3 and the same from the final 3 games.

Leicester and Watford both away and not easy games.

If we could get 4pts from those two then we'd be flying going into the 2 home games.

Amazing how you get dragged into every game now. Cheering on Arsenal now so that Chelsea need to win at leeds next week.

I think we need 6 points. one win and aa few draws will do. The leicester game will be huge. They are there to be taken.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Leicester have to travel to Rome for the Thursday night game and, like West Ham, have struggled in league games following European ties.

I genuinely believe this Chelsea game was the turning point. Had we lost this then I think we would have lost the dressing room, I think it would have been worse if we played well and lost. The players would just have felt everything was against them.

But the win is so important, its a massive psychological boost to beat one of the best teams in the league. I can see us going on a little run now and a victory against Leicester drags Burnley and Leeds back in. We would be favourites to stay up if we beat Leicester.

There already in it and we got a game in hand still on both

Unbeaten in 5 games before yesterday is great form for a team at the bottom. They have only lost to the champions.

When they play Chelsea it will not be the Chelsea we played today either.

Tuchel is under a bit of pressure and you don’t know what the new owners will do. He will need results before the season ends which will hopefully include thrashing Leeds

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The way things are going I wouldn't even be super comfortable on 40, think that could bring goal difference into it. But get to 41 and we should surely finish ahead of one of Burnley, Leeds or even Southampton.

I honestly think we need the 4 points in next 2 games, can see Leeds and Burnley getting points from theirs

And arsenal picking up maximum points would hopefully mean they have secured there finish before we play them

 

[Goat]

If, as I believe, Leeds lose the next 2, I can see them really struggling against Brentford who are deadly away from home.

A realistic Leeds fan would be looking at their remaining games and thinking they'll be lucky to get 6 more points and it'll be more like 3/4.


Did we all see that Leeds manager last night - getting booked and doing his OTT manic finger pointing for the crowd at the end? That's a man right under the cosh. And he'll be even more under it after the next two games give them a likley zero return.

Serves em right for appointing Ted Lasso, fella hasnt got a clue.

Brentford are at home to Leeds final day.

"Deadly away from home" Brentford still have to come to Goodison....

Tuchel will be resting all of the team that started today for the Leeds game. Whether Chelsea’s B team can beat Leeds is another question.

Would be extremely unlucky if we went down with 41 points

Was thinking that myself!

Think top 4 will go to final day. TBF with the slowing down tactics I could see Arsenal getting frustrated and leaving space at the back for the front 3 to run into so I wouldn't put that down as a certain loss like last weekend.

Chance is there in next three weeks to make final day scenario kinder as obviously don't want to go to Arsenal still a point or two off 17th.
