GWT: EPL - Matchweek 21

[robertmac43]

Arsenal need the 3 points tomorrow. Got to stop matching liverpool

 

[robertmac43]

15 minute period in that game where we gave up on the game plan and almost threw the game away. Importantly other results went for us so we didn't get pulled in by the teams below us

Sels was outstanding.

Can't see anyone stopping Liverpool this season

At this point in the season, what do you see as the goal for Nottingham? Maintain a CL spot, push for the title, end up in Europa, etc? I'm curious to see what the expectations are like now and how that compares to the start of the campaign.

still hate it. Still hate even though we’ve more points from losing positions than anyone else in the league, but we need to stop giving these other teams hope. Prime City hit the afterburners and made everyone else quit

I'm with you. Those City sides were merciless in the pole position. Alas, it feels like Liverpool must always do it the hard way. Not that 6 points clear at the top, with a game in hand, isn't a nice spot to be in. It's just still a bit too close for comfort, for my liking.

To be fair, I'll take an away draw to this Forest side all day. Even more so after going down 1 nil early. I felt a little uneasy leading up to this match. A loss felt like a fair possibility, so I'm relieved they came out with a point. It's the draw to United that's still annoying me.

Let's see if Spurs can do the reds a solid.

Honestly I think the goal has to be retaining the key members of the squad and getting a place in Europe

But we're 6 points off the top and just played what on paper was the hardest match of the second half of our season, so to borrow from a great man "I hope anybody's not stupid enough to write us off"

These are the remaining games, (red home black away), and there's nothing there that screams out loss anymore with the way we've played this year

​

JANUARY
SOUTHAMPTON
BOURNEMOUTH

FEBRUARY
BRIGHTON HA
FULHAM
NEWCASTLE U
ARSENAL

MARCH
MANCHESTER C
IPSWICH TN

APRIL
MANCHESTER U
ASTON VILLA
EVERTON
TOTTENHAM H
BRENTFORD

MAY
CRYSTAL PALACE
LEICESTER CITY
WEST HAM
CHELSEA​

Right now I'd also take a loss to Southampton if it meant them getting 12 points


Edit: also why did TAA have to remember how to defend when Murillo tried to shoot from his own half and get a block in, because Alisson was never getting back to it and after coming close 3 times with shots from that range in the last season and a half I think that one was on target

 

[maclean]

What a night of drama, makes be all the more apprehensive about tonight

 

[bluesfan94]

I don’t necessarily agree with this call but I’m glad we’re seeing refs reject VAR at the monitor

I'm getting flash backs to Leicester. Obviosuly there are some difference between the teams. I just remember looking at the table and thinking, "man, when will this fluke end?"

Similar vibe here with Forest. I keep thinking the run of form is going to come to a crashing end. Hopefully against Brighton or Arsenal in Feb ...

Looking at the schedule those back to back games against Arsenal and City are looking very interesting.

Last matchweek partial horror scenario in May: Chelsea wins against Forest securing a spot in next season's CL, but at the same time this means that Arsenal wins the title after late season Liverpool form collapse.

Sign me up for this reality!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Maddison dropped for Bergvall. Interesting.

Richarlison back in the squad.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

18 year old Bergvall
18 year old Gray and 22 year old Dragusin
21 year old Kinsky

Everything is fine

 

[S E P H]

LFG Villian King Kai.

F*** these birds to fried chicken like KFC.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Feels wrong that Spurs aren't wearing lilywhite.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Dragusin come on.

 

[robertmac43]

If that was Saka it's 1-0

 

[gary69]

Isak scored to put Newcastle ahead against Wolves. If the result stands, they'll be in the Top4 ahead of Chelsea.

 

[S E P H]

Spurs going down easily in their Pajamas kits.

Trossard has been brutal though, damn. I can't believe I rather have an out-of-form Martinelli than this bloke right now.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Kinsky is so much more commanding inside the box.

Edit: Hehe

 

[robertmac43]

You can tell the kids are in for Spurs... lol

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Spurs making Arsenal look like Tamworth

 

[S E P H]

Our attack is just so bad. The score should be 3-0 at this point with all the chances we've had, but awful decision-making by everyone, especially Trossard. Sterling and Rice bringing their weight though.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ohhhhh Djed.

 

[robertmac43]

Just can't lose the ball in spots like that if you are Timber.

Insane tackle from Gabriel though.

 

[S E P H]

Lol, all those chances we had and Spurs get one and almost score.

@robertmac43 agreed, insane tackle by Gabriel, but too easy for the Spurs there. One nice placed ball and we were outdone.
