Goal diff does not matter anymore

It still could. If the dippers draw at southampton, they have to win and we have to lose next week with a goal differential of 8 or more. They win 5-0 and we lose 3-0

Unlikely but theoretically possible

 

[Daz-Simp]

Can’t disagree, ake mustn’t be fully fit, so benched in case Laporte or Fern break down

If he's fit enough to be on the pitch for potentially 89 minutes if either pulled their hammy in the 1st minute, then he's fit enough to start and play as long as possible.

 

[Blue Maverick]

I’ll settle for 92:30, mate. :-O

Dont even dare dream that, how ironic if 10 years later it went against us with one of them!

 

[Coatigan]

fresh legs for next week...foden and sterling vs Villa possibly? - may just be trying to preserve what he has left of a squad

With a week recovery to go and a win that pretty much means he can play anyone in the final game?

 

[Damanino]

even the women team suffering the same, 2-2 after 90 min in FA cup final,
we had 16 shots, 4 on target, 2 goals.
Chelsea 5 shots, 2 on target , 2 goals.

i do wonder if Ederson lets everything in training that is an on target shot. because that seems to be the case 95% of the time in matches. and if yes wtf the GK coaches are about to do on that.

Aaarggghhh! Don't. Even. Think. It.
I'm too old for that shit, now.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I wonder what the match-day thread looked like at half-time?

Anyhow, given the first half I'll take that.

 

[SidJames]

He should have been hooked at half time

I personally don't think Mahrez should have started.

We needed Phil energy up front to take the heat of our non existent defense.

When Phil plays we are more direct. I thought that is what we needed today.

 

[brummie blue]

Yeah, I was just offering perspective. Regardless, it means fuck all if we win on Sunday.

Love how blues are setting on other blues for looking on the bright side. Some of you live to be miserable twats.

I know, my point was Southampton are unlikely to put up any sort of a challenge

 

[wayne71]

Frustrating game but Id raather be in our position than the dippers.

On a plus I thought Grealish did well in the 2nd half.

 

[I'm Blue]

I genuinely thought today we’d be that fired up that we’d have far too much for West Ham, who are a very good team, but that didn’t happen till very late in the game.
That first half was dreadful, we lacked desire, energy and concentration.
Fingers crossed we are flying next Sunday and every single one of us are prepared to run through walls.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Considering how poor the defence was, we have got out of jail and the point does more for us than Liverpool today.

Who knows about Tuesday, but please no Fern or Zin next weekend.

Pleased for Jack, him and Jesus earned us those points today.

 

[the talisman]

Christ that was nerve racking
Cheered up after Pep’s comments
Etihad will be rocking next week and slippy Steve’s boys won’t know what hit em

 

[Mariosfireworks]

1 win is needed that is it, let's raise the roof next weekend, get behind the lads, be as vocal as we can,.make the ground a cauldron of noise, we can do it, us as fans have to play our part as well

 

[I'm Blue]

Jesus fucking Christ. Obviously.

Fuck me for offering perspective that the title race is still in our hands.

It's fine, go back to wallowing and feeling sorry for yourself.

Yeah I’m the one overreacting.

 

[hilts]

Can’t disagree, ake mustn’t be fully fit, so benched in case Laporte or Fern break down

Let's hope he is fit next week I think he needs to start.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Defence was dogshit and will be the same against Villa.

True but they dont offer the same attacking threat.

 

[M12Blue]

Bit embarrassing this thread

 

[HelloCity]

No. Stop happy clapping.

He’s cost us in 2 huge moments this season.

Miss v Liverpool in the 90th and that fucking terrible penalty.

Everyone acting like Villa are there for the taking.

Narrative is written for Slippy and that **** Coutinho.

You’re the weak and mentally fragile one. Not the team.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Phew, what a rollercoaster and great comeback from the boys despite Mahrez missing the pen, but at half time a point looked out of reach so Im satisfied....er relieved in the end.

This does mean that if we win our last game then we win the league on points and not goal diff, so thats something.

Can villa at home be harder than today?? fcking hope not, but keeping the dippers hopes up till the very last will hurt them more if we do win it.

Am hoping that Ake will be fit for villa and we can play two proper centre backs, maybe thats why he wasnt used today.

Just come out and give a performance on sunday and its ours again, would probably have taken that scenario at the start of the season.

In the meantime I would snatch yer hand off for the dippers to fck up versus the saints though,but I dont think its gonna (be allowed) to happen........the pl want their last day shennanigans, and heres hoping they dont indulge in any "game management".
