Topic: How many points would you expect in the next 5 league games - 2014/15 edition

[Sarge]

5

Hope i was wrong

[B0151?]

15 is a tall order but do-able. Let's do it.

[elsewhere]

Can we just expect 0 points from the next 5 so that we can jinx and get 15 maybe?

Yeah, fuck it. 0 it is

Current form

06. Liverpool v Everton 0p
07. Liverpool v WBA 1p
08. QPR v Liverpool 3p
09. Liverpool v Hull 0p
10. Newcastle v Liverpool 1p
5pts from possible 15pts

If we buck our ideas up a bit...

06. Liverpool v Everton 1p
07. Liverpool v WBA 3p
08. QPR v Liverpool 3p
09. Liverpool v Hull 3p
10. Newcastle v Liverpool 1p
11pts from possible 15pts

That gives us 17 from 30 all in so a loss off the 2pts from 3pts target to get us back on track.
Anything less than than around 10 from 15 has to be considered poor considering there are 3 home games in the mix. Winning against WBA and Hull is crucial. It'll be difficult as i dont see where are goals are coming from these days.

[BobPaisley3]

West brom, Hull, QPR and Newcastle the next four. A team playing as poorly as us couldn't ask for a better run. We need 10 points if we realistically want to achieve anything this season, especially as this run coincides with a lot of the big boys having tough games.

[Zlen]

Nine would be the bare minimum to keep ourselves close enough to the top.

[chromed]

After the draw against the bitters I genuinely expect us to win the next four out of this group of games.

This would give us momentum going into the game against Chelsea.

Sturridge coming back will hopefully give the team a big lift.

I'm the opposite. The bitters were so bad and we still couldn't put them away. I'm expecting the next four to be the tougher games from this block. Hoping for no losses atm.

Yep. 10 points would leave us on 17 from 10 games, so 3 down on the aim of 2 points per game (20 from 10 games). Four wins would be explosive and have us 1 point off the target of 2 points a game over the season (76 total and CL back at Anfield again next season).

If we can get those 10 points (or 12 *prays*), the Chelsea game then becomes massive (well it is anyway). Win that, and we could potentially win the four after it as well before playing the Mancs. Palace Away, Stoke Home, Leicester Away, Sunderland Home, Mancs Away.

Put another way, in the next SEVENTEEN games, we only play a team from the top eight of last season three times. Arsenal and Chelsea at home and the Mancs Away. 14 games against the teams we enjoyed making points up on last season.

West Brom Home, QPR Away, Hull Home, Newcastle Away, Chelsea Home, Crystal Palace Away, Stoke Home, Leicester Away, Sunderland Home, Manchester United Away, Arsenal Home, Burnley Away, Swansea Home, Leicester Home, Sunderland Away, Aston Villa Away, West Ham Home.

We've got a great opportunity to put points on the board, especially if we can come up with wins against Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal or multiples of them.

And if you don't believe it's a great opportunity, our last 15 games, features 7 teams from last seasons top 8. One almost every other game - with trips to Swansea, Hull, West Brom and Stoke who could all be battling relegation thrown in.

(For those interested, in Manchester United's next 17 games they have Everton Home, Chelsea Home, Man City Away, Arsenal Away, Southampton Away, Liverpool Home, Tottenham Away, Southampton Home- even if you discount Southampton, that's still a tricky fixture 1 in every 3, opposed to our 1 in 5/6).

Large sample maybe but indicative of how Man U have had a really really easy start and need to make up points on the big boys, whereas we have dropped some silly points, but also gained three away at Tottenham, beat Southampton who are in the top four at the moment, outplayed Everton. Hopefully Villa/West Ham can be looked upon as blips, because they are the only results so far I've been really really disappointed with on reflection. The Jagielka goal was a wordly and Brendan was trying to sure us up at the back - it nearly worked too.

We need 12 from 12 in those games.

[Upinsmoke]

See us getting six from those next four. Don't see us losing any.

[Number 7]

We really need to win the next 4 games. Of course it won't be easy as you can bet one of those teams, if not 2, will play a blinder.

Just win against West Brom and start from there.

[L666KOP]

See us getting six from those next four. Don't see us losing any.

That means we draw 3 of them.

RAWK will need new servers.

[OldBloke]

Some people thinking these four games will be a walkover don't seem to have noticed that West Brom are above us!

[The Infamous_LFC]

07. Liverpool v WBA 3p
08. QPR v Liverpool 3p
09. Liverpool v Hull 1p
10. Newcastle v Liverpool 3p

10points
Newcastle away is tricky but we can out smart Pardew I'm sure. Hull are a difficult side but we should win because we are at home. Hopefully we kick start our season if we play like we can the team we can pick up some points.

We need to take advantage of our 'rivals' playing each other.

Not wanting to be a drama queen, but unless we get 10 points minimum we're going to have a right scrap on our hands for top 4.

That's as easy a run of games as you could ask for.

I think we can get 13 from the 15 for games 06-10. All teams we should be beating, even Newcastle Away. Team needs to pull together and take advantage of this next run of games to get the season back on track.

That would make it 19 from 30 which isn't terrible at all and puts us in a good position going forward.

So lets start a 7+ win streak this saturday!

I'm pretty much with you here; that is a very good run of games. Considering the fact that we have international break, Champions League and League Cup games between them, those fixtures will be harder but they could have been far more tricky; three of the next four league games are against opposition who are currently in the bottom six after all. These are definitely games we should be expected to win. The way we've been playing, they may be more difficult and I don't at all foresee four comfortable wins but if we have ambitions to stay in the top three or four this season, we should be winning at least three of the next four league matches, even in spite of the midweek games.

Lets do it!

If we get the maximum points for the next 2 league games the confidence will improve I'm sure with Allen and Sturridge back by then too.

 Liverpool v WBA 3p

 QPR v Liverpool 3p

 Liverpool v Hull 3p

 Newcastle v Liverpool 1p  (*)

 Liverpool v Plastic Rentboyz  0p
 


(*)I think Pardew will be sacked before our game and they'll get a result with their new coach

[Dougle]

v WBA - 3
v QPR - 3
v Hull - 3
v Barcodes - 3
v Plastics - 3

I am normally quite pessimistic !
We should have beaten Everton. We improved. If we keep that up we should have enough for WBA, despite their good form. Win that with Sturridge and Allen fit again I think we'll beat QPR and Hull. Win those and I think we'll take the Barcodes and winning all those with the squad buzzing Brendan will get his victory over Jose.
WBA is the key for me.

[duvva 💅]

As badly as things have gone the last month 3 out of the next 4 teams we play are below us, and definitely represent on paper weaker opponents than those we've faced. If, and right now it's probably a big if, we took maximum points we'd be 19 from 10 games, a point shy of 2 points a game which many including myself believe will be enough for Champions League football again.

Given the start we've had and all the negativity and ridiculous knee jerk reactions things could look very different very quickly.

3 points today will set up a good October, a month that will prove the opposite of September of that I'm sure

Agreed with this post, I know we have to take one game at a time but if we do win the next 3 games considering the start we did have 19 points from 10 games in not a bad record at all.

[N0rnIr0nRed]

I actually think we will be the first team to hand Chelsea a defeat in the league this season.

Based on what, exactly?

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

WBA is the key for me.

Let's hope the lock is open now then!

QPR we should beat.
I'm refusing to take it more than one game at a time

[ShayGuevara]

QPR away
Hull home
Swansea home
Newcastle away

Currently on 10 points from 7 games, to average 2 pts a game (somewhere between top 4 and a title challenge) we need to win our next 4.

You'd be hoping for 9-10 points at least to make up for our poor start.

[steveeastend]

There are those two CL games vs Real inbetween, won't be easy those games..

[hide5seek]

The next 4, league games are very winnable. However we actually played yesterday the result was brilliant as we've really struggled to beat WBA the last few seasons.

[GregCharrua]

Everton  - 1
WBA - 3
QPR -
(Real Madrid CL)
Hull -
Newcastle -

Like to take 9 points from the next three PL games... Full squad back, after a break where some key players got rest - Sunday can't come soon enough. Hope to see continued improvement...

[Ski]

Well that's 7 out of 15 and despite how poor we were overall today we're building some kind of confidence by stringing 3 results together in the league. Surely the performance must and will improve as we badly need to get maximum pts from hull at home and Newcastle away given the fixtures of our rivals over these next 2/3 rounds.

[NorthamptonKopite]

Not a bad return at all from the last 3 games. We're playing poorly but aslong as the results keep coming it really doesn't matter. I can only see us playing better against Hull. Whether we win or not is another matter.

[Hij]

If Jagielka doesn't score that worldie we are laughing.

[Kopenhagen]

If Jagielka doesn't score that worldie we are laughing.

Our win today was karma for that unfortunate moment.

So hull?

Are they playing good ATM or did arsenal just play awful ?

[kcbworth]

15 - i didn't bother looking at the fixture list... just seeing us in equal 4th makes me think we must be bloody good, so will probably go on and be winning every game

[Michel]

Crystal Palace (A)
Stoke  (H)
Leicester (A)
Sunderland (H)
Man Utd (A)

With anything less than 11 points we can forget about 4th place.

[gregorio]

Crystal Palace  3
Stoke  1
Leicester 1
Sunderland 3
Man Utd 0
