Do we finish above Chelsea?
|

Currently we are 6 goals down on their GD
Chelsea go to Man Utd with Man Utd still to secure champions league football and lots of their players in the shop window and their GD low compared to chasing Liverpool.
Man Utd 3 - Chelsea 0
Now only 3 goals separate us on GD
We have Leicester with players fighting for a final place and Leicester reverting to defensive non scoring tactics. I fancy a 1-0 win
Now only 2 goals separate us on GD
Newcastle full of pomp visit Chelsea last day of the season.
Can they stop Chelsea scoring and score a few?

Leicester have to beat us why will they be using non scoring tactics?

Re: Do we finish above Chelsea?

There's a couple of things to consider here.
Firstly, the 'worst team in London' is an entirely made up thing that doesn't really mean anything (unless we finish above Chelsea, when it will become a matter of hilarity).
Secondly, I don't give a fuck what the press say.
Thirdly, in the unlikely event of us finishing equal on points and a Chelsea fan attempting to gloat about finishing ahead of us, I shall respond, 'What, on goal difference? You sad prick.'
All bases covered, I feel.

Since Rodgers got ousted, the "defensive non scoring tactics" of Leicester have seen them score 3 goals against Fulham and 2 vs Wolves and Everton, while conceding an average of two goals a game. The only game they haven't conceded in since then was yesterday, away at "full of pomp" Newcastle.

One of my mates is Chelsea sois already worked all this out. It was really disappointing when Man City reserves could only beat them 1-0…

You could sort of understand Smith going with the back 5 and hoping to snatch a late winner ...which they almost did.
Newcaste had about 25 shots and should have won 3-0 or more.
Obviously against us Maddison & Barnes will come back and they have to go for the win from the start

We could, in theory, be the worst team in London with a European trophy. Certainly the worst team in London in a Euro final.

Nagal - let’s see how Smith sets up
He has reverted to form and gained a point. Will he move away from his 5 at the back for this last game?

Nagal - Newcastle hadn’t qualified for the CL before the final whistle Vs leicester
Now they have they will be full of pomp as no more nerves.

I don't envy Dean Smith here. Probably one of the most difficult games of his career. They have to go out and win but know they CANNOT lose. It's a headache for a manager.
Keep it tight but have a go.
I hope they get all confused and play like cunts and we smash the shot out of them.

Basically your whole premise is based on one single game. If you'd started this thread after they lost 5-3 to Fulham a couple of weeks back then you'd have said they'd reverted to high scoring defensively frail tactics.

We only have one game so the whole premise is based on one game
Other than Chelsea who have two games
You care more than me though so chalk yourself up a win
