Next 3 League Games - Expectations? | The Last 3 Games (Page 51)

[Willie Wontie]

What's pretty clear is that united will win more of last year's drawn games, which is what really stuffed them.

Their biggest problem is whether the return of the messiah that is Zlatan will slow them down.

Chelsea look troubled.

Spurs always blow up and I'd nearly forgotten Arsenal existed.

Liverpool are flakey and Klopp looks like he could have a heat attack

With most of the top sides walloping some of the lower teams by 3 + it's going to be be about the 6 pointers (and goal difference).

Today was a big step

Before the derby on 9/12

Stoke (H)
Burnley (H)
West Brom (A)
Arsenal (H)
Leicester (A)
Huddersfield (A)
Southampton (H)
West Ham (H)

It's ambitious but in the form we're in I think we should be aiming for 22/24 pts

10 of 38 games are the big head to heads, and we are 6 from 6 for the two of the ten we've played so far.
The next 3 before we reach the halfway point are Arsenal h, united a and Spurs h - id hope for at least 7 points from those 3.

That's what has put us in a great position. Of those 10 big games, Liverpool (H) and Chelsea (A) are usually 2 of our hardest.

Liverpool usually cause us big problems and we always struggle at Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool away. Spurs will be easier than usual being at Wembley.

It is these games that make the difference.

6/6 this year. 9/30 last year and if you throw in Everton who were closer and 7th last year it was 10/36.

Yep, so throw in the Everton game this year and that makes us 7/36 this year already when as you say we were 10/36 at the end of the season. Very promising pal - next stop Arsenal at home 5th Nov

We’ll win every game.

I expect us to put 7 past Stoke.

I know, I know, I am daft but hear me out...

 

[Deleted member 81382]

If we beat Napoli our confidence will be through the roof and as a result I don't think Burnley will stand a chance

 

[Rammyblues]

Hard enough to judge what will happen against Napoli. For me don't really want to speculate but quite happy to take one game at a time.

I know, I know, I am daft but hear me out...

youve bloody jinxed it now ,sick of people getting beyond themselves ,

we will more than likely concede goals now, think we will get 7 but can see stoke getting a couple of deflected goals also fancy ferna for a 30 yard scorcher

 

[MCFC1993]

So after 3 games in this period:
City - 9 points (Predicted 12 for the 5 games)
Spurs - 9 points (Predicted 11 for the 5 games)
United - 7 points (Predicted 10 for the 5 games)
Arsenal - 6 points (Predicted 13 for the 5 games)
Liverpool - 5 points (Predicted 10 for the 5 games)
Chelsea - 3 points (Predicted 13 for the 5 games)

Only us doing better than I thought. Spurs doing really well but their tough run in this period is coming up. United and Liverpool roughly what I expected and have a chance of doing better or worse. Arsenal worse and Chelsea much worse.


I'll do a new set of 5 once we've played our 10th league game.

Sounds bloody unlikely to me , next you'll be saying Liverpool will keep a clean sheet against the rags.

And you think my prediction was crazy!

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Burnley and West Brom to complete the full house. If we do, we'll have 28/30 pts. What an incredible start that would be.

How is it only us doing better than you thought??

 

[MCFC1993]

Because we're 1 of 2 teams not to drop points yet and I aired on the side of caution and thought we'd drop points at Chelsea.

I would have said Spurs are too but they have 2 tough games left in this run, which is where I expect them to drop their points.

Ok. I get you. But if you expect Spurs to drop points against the rags that means the rags will get at least a point against Spurs and with their home game against Huddersfield which I expect you had them down as a win that means the rags finish on a minimum of 11. You predicted 10.

If the rags don’t pick up at least a draw against Spurs it means spurs pick up a minimum of 12. But that means they lost against Liverpool which gives Liverpool 8 points and a home game against Huddersfield which I assume you have down as a Scouse win which means they get 11 points.

Sorry to be a pedant.
