The Next 5 2024 Edition

Qwiss

Palace H
Forrest A
Liverpool H
West Ham A
Burnley A

And thats followed by the Porto match.

I think we're now at a stage where those 5 games are all must wins. There is no more margin for error, if we can't win those, especially the Liverpool match, then our league challenge is done. Its a doable list of fixtures but we'll need to sort a lot of shit out in Dubai.

Long gap of 11 days after we face Palace, let's get three points from them to start with.

Next 5 for our rivals:

Liverpool: @Bournemouth, Chelsea, @Arsenal, Burnley, @Brentford
City: @Newcastle, Burnley, @Brentford, Everton, Chelsea
Villa: @Everton, Newcastle, @Sheffield, United, @Fulham

These three all have the FA Cup to contend with, Liverpool have two legs of the Carabao semi-final as well.

Qwiss I think we're now at a stage where those 5 games are all must wins. There is no more margin for error, if we can't win those, especially the Liverpool match, then our league challenge is done.

We have to beat Liverpool and grab at least 11 points to have any hope. 15 might take us all the way back to the top of the table. I can easily see us anywhere between 6 and 15 points. Prediction: WW???

Claudius this is where I am too. TBH it could go anyway against Liverpool but if we drop points to them again then we may as well just give up on the season because it'll show a complete lack of balls. Aside from that I think WHU away is the other game there that would worry me. Losing the others would lead us into crisis territory.

Fuck sake, West Ham again. These bastards suddenly stole our number.

daredevil despise them.

This is the time to make hay. We will start getting into six pointers and the champions league, so things get harder quickly. Given the FACup, there is no margin. We have to nut on Porto and give an honest effort in the league. We can’t be holding our balls in March

Claudius We can’t be holding our balls in March

Unless it's because we nut on Porto?

damn that's pretty descriptive. poor porto.

Claudius

Qwiss we really could’ve done with one win between Villa and West Ham. Would’ve put an entirely different complexion on the season, especially Villa.

goon

WWWWW and we’re back in business.

Lukazan

^^ I'll eat my hat if we do that. I don't wear hats but I'll buy one especially for it.

I do think we'll beat Liverpool this time round though. Crystal Palace will be a scrape.

Liverpool will miss TAA. Out for a few weeks. Without him they are really finished

Claudius

Clrnc he will be back after 2 weeks when Klopp dips him in horse fluids.

Burnwinter

Clrnc Pity he didn't bust his leg before he bullseyed Kiwior's skull.

Burnwinter

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Perhaps Porto will hold our balls for us during the process

IBL

We can't score anymore ffs

DDLLD

If we get a decent striker or if Saka/Martinelli find some form then perhaps two W's. Still peeved with Sunday's result.

IBL pretty much this for me too. Would like to think we'll find a way to beat Burnley at home but not expecting much from the first 4 games on current form. In theory we should be able to keep clean sheets in the first 2 but difficult to see where scoring a goal is going to come from at this stage.

invisibleman18 it's actual Burnley away
