Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[EastLondonYid]

It's not bad luck when you do it to yourself

Spot on
Bournemouth were so shit that going down to 9 men was the only way they were going to beat us, and they nearly messed that up.. This is turning out to be a fucking nightmare.
Lets hope we can sort it out next week, ffs.

We need Wolves to win today to remove any hope/fight Everton have for European footer

We're losing to everton whether they have something to play for, worth while or not.

The best bit is if that, if the above statement doesn't happen and we win, you get to dig it out, quote it and feel warm and fuzzy inside for 5 minutes.

It’s fucking unprofessional- that’s what it is

I'd rather play an Everton team that needs to attack us, than one free from any kind of pressure.

Hmmm the age old, wondering what the effect something to play for has on a teams level of performance

Didn’t seem to affect Bournemouth

in truth if we don’t show up AGAIN or shoot ourselves in foot AGAIN matters little the opposition or the cause, we need better much like all if 2019, still waiting but running out of time.

 

[Saoirse]

Let's be honest. We have a much, much better squad than Everton. If we can't beat them at home, that's 100% our fault on top of the other unacceptable results. I couldn't care less what they do or don't have to play for. This has been in our hands for a long time and it's completely on us. Anything less than 3rd, or 4th minimum, should see Poch questioned and the players responsible subject to some innovative punishment. Obviously don't want to tire them out too much for next season, but perhaps they and their girlfriends would enjoy foregoing the first-class flights to the Maldives and instead going for a good old British camping holiday in Grimsby where they can practice not hitting people in the face just because they're annoying assholes.

Or Newcastle...

Bournemouth were shite. We were worse.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Bournemouth were shite. We were worse.

Yes, so it didn’t matter that they had nothing to play for. That’s my point

 

[ShaunL84]

Game will be a dead rubber for Everton. No fucking excuses you useless ****s.

Very Brexity

It may still have mattered. If they had something to play for potentially we could have dropped points even if we didn't decide to act as though we'd had partial lobotomys. And hopefully we'll play better next week, but we could still do with Everton not turning up.

Well, we are trying to get ourselves out of Europe it seems.

Or today. I’m so close to finding a monotheistic religion right now

 

[SugarRay]

Our biggest problem is Everton are in decent form and playing pretty well.

Right now they can also field 11 better players than we can too, which given the last few years is actually the saddest part of it all ( from our point of view anyway! )

What a clusterfuck way of running a supposed top 4, Champions League club. Since the end of last season we’ve made the last few years of Wenger at Arsenal look like a well oiled machine!

I think the point is we’re so crap at the moment in so many ways that we’re beating ourselves, not the opposition

 

[Saoirse]

Meanwhile, the Hamsters are 3-0 up against Southampton. The side so fantastic that we couldn't possibly have scrapped a draw against them. Then again, we are apparently worse than West Ham too so it makes sense.

 

[Ossie85]

We honestly don’t deserve top 4. The results this last couple of months have been a disgrace. We are still in it because our rivals are also shit

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Hardly a big deal for us anyway. Not like we’ve attracted top players over the last couple of season to the club because of it. Some big night - but the biggest benefactors of CL have been the owners. It hasn’t changed us.
