Next 4 games

[whelk]

Ok if you could pick 2 games out of our next 4 (Everton, arsenal, palace, beersheeba) that we were guaranteed to win which games would you pick? Obviously doesn't mean we wouldn't win the other 2.

 

Expect 'win all 4 please' comments.

[Batman]

Win all 4 please

[Pamplemousse]

Guaranteed = Everton and Arsenal

 

 

That would then give us the momentum to go on a winning streak

[vectraman]

Arsenal and Beersheba. Keeps the interest levels in the cups very much alive

[Appy]

Arsenal and Beer Sheva

[simo]

Arsenal and Beer Sheva

 

This

[nta786]

Arsenal and Everton, take a 0-0 vs Beer Sheba too

And unfortunately lose to Palace if this had to be the case.

 

 

OBVIOUSLY, would love 4 solid straight wins in a row

[Lighthouse]

Arsenal and HBS.

 

Lose the other 2 and we will still be mid table.

[Mr X]

The real question should be how many of the next four games do you think we will actually win, whats the point in hypothetical if you could pick a game to win type questions?

[Baird of the land]

Everton(really don't want Koeman and Everton to get one over us or finish above us)

Torn between either of Cup games. Normally it would be the european one nailed on but we could go through with a 0-0 so maybe i'd be greedy and go for the arsenal game and hope for a 0-0 like Liverpool.

[Dusic]

Arsenal and Everton.

 

1. Need to pick up points in thhe league

 

2. League cup best chance of a trophy.

 

3. If we can't beat Beer Sheva we don't deserve to get out of the group.

 

4. Arsenal and Everton are the toughest games.

[Dalek2003]

We must win league games. Couldn't care less about European and Cup games. Also the business will be most concerned about league games as this is where the money is.

[verlaine1979]

At the moment it feels more pertinent to wonder which of the four we'll score in.

[5string]

Win against Everton & Palace, getting our goalscoring boots back on. This would allow a 0-0 against Beersheba. No disgrace to lose to Arsenal, maybe 2-1 after an injury time penalty...?

 

This keeps us ok in PL and retains our interest in the cups.

 

Also shoves it up RonKo haha

Not sure losing to Arsenal keeps up our interest in the cups.

[the saint in winchester]

Win vs Everton and Beersheba. Arsenal are in a league above. Palace a league below, if we cant beat them we are in trouble. We are on a par with Everton and we need to qualify for european knockouts. Everton and Beersheba.

To be honest don't think there's a lot of point to your, or any of our predictions. Feel free though.

Barry says 2-0, 1-2 for me says Dave. Donald thinks it will be a tight 0-0.

[nta786]

if we want europa league football next season it aint gonna happen through virtue of our league position.

only way i see it happening is winning the league cup, so beating arsenal.

 

then again, id have probably said the same thing last season, until our second half of the season where we had second most points between Jan and May 2016, which could still happen yet

What is the point in gunning for europe

We treat the competition appallingly anyway

Haha, whoops - thinking one thing, typing another. Didn't check.

 

In short, I'm keen for us to be in as many competitions as possible, for as long as possible. So, any results that make that happen.

So we should gun for midtable then?

Despite our crap Away performances, I'd still rather be in it than not be in it- I've loved the fact we're playing twice a week almost most weeks

Milan was still a great 2/3 days for a lot of us despite the result, and others enjoyed Israel and Prague I'm sure despite shocking performances

Yep, Milan was still a great trip, a result would have just turned it into an unreal one.

Hmmmm...that's bit like asking which of your children do you love best. Hard to choose.

 

Personally, I'd settle for mid table/lower half Prem finish, if it mean't a cup final appearance this season. So Arsenal and Beersheeba wins please.

[mrfahaji]

Everton & Be'er Sheva. Former for the enjoyment of putting one over my now most hated team in the division, the latter because it would be nice to qualify in the Europa.

 

For the purpose of this exercise I think it makes sense to assume we'd lose the other two. Obviously that wouldn't be great but I'd take progression in Europa over progression in League Cup, and an Everton win over a Palace win.

[whelk]

Palace and Beersheba pls

[Jonnyboy]

All four please.

[Dark Munster]

All four please.

Yes, still possible. But I'll settle for 0-0 against Beer.
