The Premier League 2022/23

I reckon Southampton and Bournemouth are down and then it’s out of the rest for the last spot.

Shite managers......I was saying the same about Everton until today

[Shawoddyred]

But! Win tomorrow and we're 6 points clear of 17th...... it's in our hands, we just need to walk the walk

[Plymouth red]

Fairly clear that although tomorrow is not a must win, it would be a big game not to lose

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

We are only half way through the season there is gonna be plenty of twists and turns yet both for better and for the worse.

 A draw or a loss is not acceptable tomorrow.
We must win games at this stage of the season against teams in or around the relegation zone so it gives us breathing space for the games coming up against Arsenal, Man city, Liverpool ,Chelsea, Newcastle Fulham Spurs etc or would you rather have us have MUST win games at the end of the season with 3 or 4 games left to stay up. There will be games that we must win at some stage and this I think is one of them.

I despise the term 'must win.' Tomorrow isn't a 'must win' game at all. If we need to win the last game of the season to stay up *that's* must win. Anything else until then isn't.

Exactly. The season isn't defined tomorrow. A win would be great but a loss isn't the end of the world.

[Marco Polo]

We always beat Leeds. It’s going to be a classic tomorrow. 4-3 Reds

I'm certain that the manager's strategy is to win as many games as possible prior to the last game of the season, and to go into the last game needing a win to stay up as a "must win" game wouldn't be part of the plan. To "despise " the term must win is a little blinkered as at some stage of the season we will come across those type of games, so we might as well start now so it doesn't have to go to the last game. Perhaps if we called it "essential to win to relieve the pressure" game that would be more apt perhaps?

It might not be must win but if we lose we're going to be right bang in the mixer with a recent record of p3 w0 d1 l2.

Are you counting the two losses to Man Utd in the league Cup in that form? Come on, what's the point of that. The second leg we didn't even play a full team and took out our best players at 60 mins.

Yes wassy i am. You and I may be able to simply right those 2 games off but there will be an effect on the player's confidence. Losing eats away at confidence.
