The challenge will be I expect the GD to be wiped out by the weekend which means we need City to probably lose that last game.

You’re assuming City will beat Spurs by 5 or more, and/or that we can’t beat Everton at home by more than 2.

Nah, assuming City draw one of their games which is the prerequisite for GD to matter, we have a +3 advantage. I'll take those odds going into the final day.

I don’t mind the approach, it’s served us well. I’m disappointed about the execution. Aside from the back four, I think everyone else was in a bit of a zombie like state. They was passing through the midfield and getting at the back four too easily. Lost too many duels and were never close to winning second backs, these are all normally massive strengths.

Felt like we were caught in mental no man’s land.

Qwiss

Clrnc he didn't really have any good chances though. Our unscored efforts were better.

Fucking get in!!! Let's enjoy the last day now even though our chances are slim.

We have definitely made progress this season by taking it to the last day. I'm proud of this team ❤️

Claudius Enjoyed the shit-eating grin, the Spurs fans won't like that haha

Next weekend will be epic, folks. Who would’ve thought we’d be coming to this moment at various times this season. We are closing out well (15 wins in our last 17), so I expect us to do our part. Woooooo! COYG!!

Clrnc

goon You do realise we only have a 2 GD advantage against City right? If its level they will win by goal scored.

HomeSteak

Well we did not fuck them, but I will take it. Fuck them
Saliba has now won MOTM away at Liverpool, City and United.

Pepe LeFrits

Clrnc We are +3

goon

Clrnc

If they win 4-0 midweek it will be +1 to City. Which means a 2-0 win will do it. If it’s 5-0 then we should be able to win 3-0.

Basically you guys are suggesting that it’s likely City are going to beat Spurs away by +2 more than we’re going to beat Everton at home.

Clrnc

Pepe LeFrits Nope. If its level City win on goal scored. So it's technically just +2

RocktheCasbah

Clrnc Clarence, I know it's your default state to be critical of the team, but Arsenal quite clearly had all the best chances of that game. Did Raya make a save in the match? You've basically said it yourself, United only had half chances.

It is literally +3.

Burnwinter

DiabyKungFu Numerically, old bean. Numerically +2.

Pepe LeFrits

We're getting into you're 26 until you're 27 territory here.

Burnwinter If we're only +2, then if City draw at Spurs, beat West Ham 3-0 and we beat Everton 1-0, what happens then?

goon

Arteta now happy with the performance either for what it’s worth. So definitely not by design.

I think this team needs to go through a season with these sorts of wins and build some belief and swagger.

HomeSteak

anyone followed the coverage after the game? I need to know what Ten Hag cried about now

HomeSteak

Pepe LeFrits then we would be even and City wins

Clrnc

Pepe LeFrits Ok the other way round, if they draw at Spuds, they need to beat West Ham by 3 goals more than we beat Everton.

Normally when you are +3 you expect the other team to need to be 4 goals better off, but not this case.

Burnwinter

Pepe LeFrits I won't, but I feel a strong urge to answer "Your mum" 😆

@Clrnc's count is more practical in my opinion. If City improve their goal difference by 3 relative to us after an unlikely draw at Spurs, then we are equal on goal difference and they win.✳️

If they improve only by 2, we are still ahead on goal difference and we win.

✳️ Barring improbable edge cases such as us beating Everton 7–6 etc

naz

HomeSteak no. we're +3 ahead. if city tie one of the games and we win 1-0, they need to win 4-0 to win it all

Pepe LeFrits

HomeSteak then we would be even and City wins

This is why @Clrnc and @Burnwinter's disinformation needs to be defeated.
