Sid1984 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Would set things up perfectly for all 3 teams to end on 71 points and us losing 4th place because of our pathetic goal difference at least. Would also mean it's all in our own hands if City - Arsenal game gets any winner though. Or we could just score 4-5 in all remaining games. All very likely to happen of course. If Southampton win and we win today then we will be 4th if we win our last 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Really good half that. 1-1 probably deserved so far as both teams have gone for it and created chances, but very frustrating to concede such a stupidly easy goal. Not the only time Rojo hasn't bothered to mark either. Wish we had played like this more often. But Spurs aside, we've actually not been too bad recently. Need to win today to stand a realistic chance of 4th, and this game can definitely tip both ways if it continues with such tempo in the 2nd half.

craigcwwe Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Rojo is awful at marking, let Morgan go twice and it cost us a goal. Great start from us but as expected when Leicester scored we've been so so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 If Southampton win and we win today then we will be 4th if we win our last 3 games. You're right. If City win and we win it's set up for the 71p scenario. Thought City had 4 games left for some reason. That means any winner in the City - Arsenal match will give us 4th place if we win the rest then (no matter what City do tonight). Amazing all things considering. But we won't win all 4 anyways.

Pangaea Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Poor second half overall (how often have we said this?), but clearly we should have won if the ref hadn't robbed us of a stonewall penalty. Will those 2 points decide non-CL football for us? Definitely need to win the rest now, to stand any chance at all. Much better first half, much of the 2nd was back to old sins. However, with a competent ref we would have won that. Well, unless Rooney had blown the penalty wide again Wouldn't have minded Mahrez in our squad, that's for sure. Lingard had a really good first half, but as usual disappeared in the 2nd, but somebody like Mahrez would be an upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebsy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Really good first half, but slacked off in the second half again though still had good moments in it. Really enjoyable match either way, could have easily gone either way. Fellaini was brilliant today, but even when he has a cracker he ruins it by chucking his elbows around like a stupid ****er again. He'll miss the last 3 due to that I expect. It is top 4 all but gone, though, which is a bit w4nk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz & The Devil Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well that was a poor performance. We started well but the last 70 minutes we just got worse and worse. If the scores hadnt been on the screen in that second half i would have thought we were winning comfortably as we were just strolling about passing it left to right without a care in the world. We really needed to win this and we shouldnt let a bad refereeing decision that robbed us of a penalty from masking what was a typical LvG performance. He must go in the summer and i'm so worried he wont. Southampton may beat City and keep the faint glimmer alive but i fully expect to struggle against Norwich and lose to West Ham. We could well end up 6th when all is said and done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 We've also been dreadful away all season. Hopefully we can nab 3 points against Norwich, but West Ham will be very tough. Can't expect them to be as "off" as they were in the FA Cup match again. We needed to win today to stand a realistic chance. And we would have done so hadn't Oliver been blind as a bat.

Gizmo7 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Actually thought you played decent today. Thought LVG got his tactics pretty much spot on, sitting deep against us to prevent our counter-attacking, exploiting the left-flank as Mahrez doesn't track back, so doubling up on Simpson, closing down our midfield quickly to stop us (Drinkwater) launching counter-attacks. Thought you did very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz & The Devil Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I hope Fellaini gets a ban just to break up this god awful Carrick-Fellaini partnership and for no other reason. Seeing a midfield triangle of Carrick-Fellaini-Rooney with Schneiderlin-Herrera-Mata on the bench really gets to me. Leicester are mobile and quick on the counter and the one thing people have struggled to do in an attacking sense is pull them out of their defensive shape. Todays line up and game plan smacked of Moyes against Fulham where we pumped 80+ crosses into the box for their 6'5 centre half. Today needed craft and guile not crosses into the box. Its not rocket science. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
