By the Way things have gone in last few seasons in important games, I see us losing against westham and going to leicester needing a win
Fair enough on Europa.I think you're making too much of the EL comment. My point was more about us being stuck in a top 4 race when we could have had it wrapped up and any major comment on preparation for the EL. I'm not even thinking past the 2 games to be honest.
Agreed on Romero. He's nothing amazing. But De Gea has been really poor and looks completely devoid of confidence. I trust Romero to get the basics right over the two games. I can't say the same for De Gea and I don't want a repeat of last year where he costs us top 4.
I think his saves are overplayed this season tbh. I read some stats that show he's basically exactly average in the PL for shot stopping based on the quality of shots faced. So I don't really believe he offsets the mistakes with amazing saves that most keepers aren't making. He's just saving the amounts you'd expect from a mid-table keeper. With added mistakes.Fair enough on Europa.
I see your point on Romero but don't share your confidence. While De Gea can make an error as we've seen, he's also made excellent saves in the same games. I'm not confident Romero makes all of those saves.
No was just half joking. Think we will grind out a narrow win.You think we'll lose 4-0 at home to West Ham?
He must be compensating for his howlers with saves he's not expected to make or he would be below average on the expected goals conceded metric surely? Isn't that how it works? So he's erratically terrible and brilliant and shot stopping when he was previously just brilliant.I think his saves are overplayed this season tbh.

I don't think that adds up.I think his saves are overplayed this season tbh.

I”m confident that we”ll win tomorrow,it won’t be a cakewalk,but I expect us to win 2-0.I actually fancy our chances of beating Leicester on the final day of the season...Leicester will have to win that game and score a few goals and that could give us a great chance to kill them on the break.Leicester are a shambles right now,so I think we”ll win 3-1 on the final day and seal 3rd place...I am very worried after today and after the last few games. I think we are gassed.
Two draws will do it to finish above Leicester and at this point I'm not sure we are getting them.
I think Liverpool will beat Chelsea and then Chelsea will beat Wolves so IMO we'll need 6 points to leapfrog them.
We've 72 hours until we play again.
2 games to put in one final massive effort to fall over the line.
I'm going
Utd 1-1 WHU.
Leicester 1-1 United
We'll scrape in.
I'm worried.
We owe them so.West Ham have denied us two titles. They are the ultimate spoilers.
I was at the game at OT when we had won the title and could have sent them down on the last day and we failed. Even the crowd were chanting “send them down.”We owe them so.
I hope we go at them 100 miles an hour
That's the spirit!2-2 draw
2-1 defeat
I expect we'll buckle under the pressure.
