Saying that as if we haven't scored 2 deflected winners against City the last two seasons.. 🤣
First that's a stupid deflection, second that was offside for the initial play anyway
RocktheCasbah I think they are overrated (Real will have the better of them if not PSG in the CL). However, it would be a deserved league title.
Imagine if Martinelli took the touch Diaz did there. Diabolical.
I know the finish is slightly different, but the goal Liverpool have just scored was very similar to their second equaliser at our place.
The weekend our chance ended. We will struggle to come second unless something changes in the way we play
Now we can relax for the rest of the season.
Let’s solidify top 4 and give a real go at CL.
Sicario2 get Saka and Martinelli back for Europe.
Sicario2 were dusted in that too, Sic. We’ve got no goals in us.
SimplyThePest the cup element of it can help us. Who the hell thought we would make the 2006 final with that makeshift defence.
We just need to get past PSV and then get Saka/Mart back from last 8 onwards (mid April I believe).
SimplyThePest we are fine. Our defence puts us in a position to sneak victories or get to penalties. It’s not like the league where a 2-2 I draw is a massive setback.
SimplyThePest if the defence holds solid then technically we can go through with two 0-0 draws. Although that would still require 4-5 players to score a penalty, and who the fuck would they be?
Sicario2 a makeshift defence that was exceptionally well-organised, focused and committed with a prime Thierry Henry in front of them…
We have neither at the moment.
League has to be officially over. We're not making it back with an 11 point difference. Liverpool can fall apart and still win
Imagine we laugh at Spurs , we are no different . Who loses to West Ham at home in a tile race with a chance to close the gap? Not serious
GooneriC I put it to you Spurs fans would trade places with us in a heartbeat
Liverpool scored 2 goals from 2 shots on target that had a combined xg of 0.34 with 30% possession. That's so annoying.
I still can't believe that city fell this badly and we didn't take advantage of it.
tazmania — fuck XG, Szob shooting freely from the 18 and Salah from the same location (into a crowded box)
Surely that’s worth a goal, at the very least .5-.75
SimplyThePest — I’d argue our defense is “ exceptionally well-organised, focused and committed”
Claudius but they would still bottle it
On the bright side, we are 10 points ahead of 6th. We need to go out of our way to fall that low given how inconsistent Forest, City, Chelsea and Bournemouth are. Newcastle is the only team with momentum
Liverpool will be turd next year when Salah, VVD and Trent leave.
Next season is still really possible for us - just have to strengthen the attack
lorddulaarsenal Salah needs to stay if he wants a Balon D’Or. That’s my only fear. If he goes to Saudi Arabia now after this insane season, they’ll give the Balon to Mbappe/Vini

Reminds me of this 😭
I have given up even thinking it now.
