We have our final four games approaching. What do people think we can do? I am very optimistic about these games coming up. The next three are against teams needing points badly, but playing against the team with the best defensive record is probably not what they want right now. All the pressure will be on them and with the next two also being away from home, I can see us (and Mane on particular) shining. I think Sunderland and Leicester could both be nervous and I see 1-0 or 2-0 wins for us. Villa ta home will be interesting; if Villa are already safe, then we will win as they'll be thinking about the Cup Final. If they need a win we could get caught o the counter. I don't know what to think of the City game until we know where they are. My bet is that if they are guaranteed top 3 by then and above United, that they will be wearing sandals and we could get the win. Here they are with my thoughts leading up to City: (a) v Sunderland .....win (a) v Leicester .........win (h) v Villa .................win (a) v City .................???
How about winning them all..? Truthfully, I don't think any of the games are bankers. Every team will fight for different reasons. Aston Villa could prove to be the toughest obstacle, as they have been rejuvenated under Sherwood.
Have a really bad feeling bout the Sunderland game but otherwise I think we should be aiming for 7+ points - Leicester won't be easy either as we know as well as anyone how big your home games are when you're struggling.
Four points, and if that's the case, I want 3 of them off Sunderland, a club who has earned its relegation.
I'd be very suprised if we win our next 3, like I said I have a horrible feeling about Saturdays game, they need the points massively and if there is a team that their players want to exact revenge on this year you can be damn sure that it is us.
If Sunderland defend, as they did against Palace recently, I will be disappointed not to win by 3 or 4. In all honesty, both Sunderland and Leicester, have to bring the game to us, and that is usually when we are at our best, because of the space they will leave at the back. With that in mind, I'm hoping for 6 points. Citeh could be in holiday mode, and Villa's players could be saving themselves for the cup final, so would be hoping to pick up 3 points from Villa, and at least 1 at Citeh.
Four wins. Pellè, having regained form and confidence, is going on the rampage in these last four games. A hat trick which no one will take off him against Sunderland, another against Leicester, at least one against Villa, and three assists for Jay Rod's hat trick against Man City.
The fact that the neither of the next two can sit back will be good for us. We should be able to find space and score. Big Vic is back and the front line seems to be moving well again. The last two games are a bit tougher to guess as mentioned above. No guesses yet for them.
I'm pretty confident we can finish the season with a flourish, starting on Saturday. 9 points from the 12 on offer.
Would love maximum points...obviously. Hopefully Morgan isn't out? We haven't much more time to see if Duricic fits the bill.
