I’ll be on a stag do in Shrewsbury so thankfully can’t watch what will be an inevitable shit show of our capitulation to another woefully inadequate team that we decide to give all the points to
We’ll make it more labored than we need to - teams have gotten a bit wiser as to how to play against us and neutralize us and our injuries is a serious issue atm… but we’ll win imho. Problem is I think Spurs win as well and it might just come down to GD this year, as crazy as that seems.
ATM on pace for 68 points - but this wobble along with the LC/ManU/Nottingham wobble is hard to excuse as they were perfectly placed opportunities to step on the necks of our top 4 rivals and end the discussion.
This year I reckon will be easier path to top 4 than next year too (in terms of points) and we’ll be in Europe (and hopefully relevant in FA Cup too)… just not good enough.
Please do not put Xhaka as LB anymore. If we do so, it will be like moving the self detonated bomb closer to our own goal from midfield.
Saka should be the first choice, then the natural left footed Nuno as 2nd, this is the least changes we need to make. If we put Cedric as LB, then need to move White as RB, insert Holding as CB… don’t think we can absorb that many changes in one.
It’ll be fine margins I reckon. Whatever the result though we won’t do well enough from the Spurs, Chelsea, United and West Ham games to finish above spurs.
