Premier League 2021/22: Race For Top 4

[GoonerJeeves]

Our next 8 games (Sp**s game might come in between):

Brentford (H)
Wolves (H)
Watford (A)
Leicester (H)
Aston Villa (A)
Crystal Palace (A)
Brighton (H)
Southampton (A)

Need a lot of points (20/24 maybe) to have a gap with the rest and set us up for the tough games later

We won't win all of those. Villa away looks tough. I think Palace and Soton away could be tricky ties too. We're solid at home though.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The most difficult games in next 8 is villa away and Southampton the others we should be beating. Still if you understatement everyone you'll lose or drop points important to be professional here and get maximum points available

 

[MartiSaka]

How many of their current players were in that team though? I can only think of Kane, Son, Moura, and Lloris at the moment. Dier has always been crappy and Alli has been gassed for a while. Hardly the the same team.

Biggest problem is their defence aged and is no where near as good as a few years back. IMO never played great football but we're highly efficient in defence and attack. Now the defence isn't great.

Dier gets a lot of stick but aint as bad as people think.

Dier is great until he makes his next stupid mistake. He is like Tottenham's Mustafi, who is a bit better.

Can't believe I doubted our boys even for a second...

...hope I can attain forgiveness one day

The Mustafi error in the Palace game and the penalty concession by Xhaka in the Brighton game still haunt my dreams till this day, gawd awful.

The season is a “free hit” they said.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

The first XI we picked vs Palace was absolutely criminal.

 

[Sanchez11]

Only Sp**s and Tets stand in the way now

Impressive how we f*cked it up tbh.

Followed the Watford game with conceding 9 goals in three straight losses

 

[Riou]

I have the pen v Brighton, more on Mkh than Xhaka.

We had a 2 v 1, and if the balding fatty played a decent pass, we go 2-0 up and win that game...not taking all the blame away from Granit though.

If Ramsey didn't get injured that season, would have got Champions League though.

Auba missing that penalty in the last minute against Sp**s too.

That actually broke my heart as we were all over Sp**s in that game tbh. They just got a really lucky goal by Harry Kane.

 

[krengon]

We are in a good position, I'm optimistic now.. The others looks worse than us to me, we just need to be consistent and hope our key players will be available for the rest of the season.

 

[drippin]

United has got some xG going, but today Southampton fckd up so many easy chances for goals it's unbelievable. The last passes and decisions were horrible. United defence and midfield is not good.

Sp**s team is just bad apart from a few players. They have been riding their luck thus far to get so many points.

4th place is ours for the taking.

Replace “really lucky” with crooked due to this clown of a linesman standing behind our offside trap

Totally forgot that he offside you know. VAR would have definitely given that as a goal too since it’s Harry Kane.
