Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

Sunderland away will be tough as Citeh found out today, but i think we can come away with a result, but it will be difficult.

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

City are having a bit of a blip.

I think the players have lost faith in Mancini

 

[Adam456]

We could take advantage big style. Chelsea and Everton play each other. West Brom away at ManU, Citeh at Norwich and Arse have the much improved Barcodes

Really need 3 points

 

[thinktank]

Well, we'll see how much our players want it, that's for sure. Tough game. Don't want Naughton on the left for this one.

Sunderland have won three of their last four. Definitely a tough game, but we are still a better team than them and odds are they won't get two upsets in a row.

Any idea when the crab man will be back or is he out of favour?

No idea, would hate to lose him though.

 

[Adam456]

So we got our 3 points but only West Brom dropped.

What do you want today from Eve-Che ? A draw would seem best but we would end the year 4th instead of 3rd.

I'd like an Everton win by 1 goal (keeping us 3rd) as they are away at Newc on Weds whereas all of our rivals have games they should win

 

[bubble07]

Think I want an Everton 1 nill win. Everton will drop more points then Chelsea so this will be the best result

 

[Harry_Snatch]

Everton win would be perfect.

Chelsea are still very reachable. Their mini revival is always going to stall sooner or later.

 

[dirtyh]

everton win all day long please. need to wipe out those games in hand for the cads

 

[wishkah]

Sunderland away is the kind of game you have to win to get CL and we did it in a controlled manner which is pleasing. Now we need to solve the other half of the puzzle and win the games we are nailed on for aka reading home.

Everton are a real threat to us this season, especially if they can get a couple of extra players in, a draw would be the best result imo. If anyone's going to win then the chavs, they've got more quality than us and if they get a top class striker (Falcao) they will probably be out of reach anyway. Arse, Everton, even WBA and Lolpool(if they make some decent signings) are who we should be worried about. 4th is realistic considering our current squad, 3rd would be an over-achievement considering the quality we're up against in Chavski, Citeh and Manure

Thankfully the only way that could happen is if they sold Fellaini or Baines (or both) which I'm sure you'd agree would weaken them considerably.

I agree that Everton are a real threat (but they have to sell before buying), but I still think we need Chelsea to suffer a setback now. They've been on a good run since they came back from Japan but it'll only take a couple of poor results for the discontent to show itself again.

In terms of financial power then Chelsea, City and Man U should be head and shoulders above everyone else, but in terms of the teams they can put out Chelsea really aren't so much stronger than us. We have to believe we can stay with them and fight for third all the way.

 

[nicdic]

No way Everton will be in touching distance by the end of the season. Just like West Brom.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Anything but a Chelsea win from the game today for me

 

[AngerManagement]

I hope we get an early goal against Reading, don't want to see another Stoke or Wigan at home situation

Without the pace and power of Bale we may struggle to cut them open

They'll be boosted by their win yesterday but we're the better team and if we turn up we can beat them all day long

Another one of them games you have to be winning if you want to be a top four club

Reading cant defend like Stoke can, and they can't keep possession as well as Wigan...as you say an early goal would be nice but we'll beat them, I'm sure of it.

 

[tobi]

I fully expect us to smash Reading.
