Premier League Gameweek 35-37 + FA Cup semis

[diarm]

If we can keep Vardy and Perez quiet on the last day, we are going to absolutely rip these apart on the counter.

 

[carpy]

Wait, shouldn't we be 4th already? Same on GD and we beat them earlier in the season.

It goes on goals scored and Leicester have scored 4 more.

Goals scored

 

[led_scholes]

If we beat WH by 3 goal, we may afford 2-0 loss to Leicester

No. They will be +30 (28+2), we will be +29 (31-2). In this scenario we can afford only a 1-0 loss.

 

[SirScholes]

Today’s game against chelsea is not for the league

I know that’s why I wrote in the Final?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

They were 14 clear of us after we lost to Burnley at the end of January.

And their GD was 21 better.

That is one fall off in form.

Head-2-head only comes in effect if teams are level on points, goal difference and goals scored.

 

[Squeaky Bumtime]

Jose, you beauty! so how much more goals to we need?

 

[dabeast]

We need +6 goals in our favour vs Leicester in round 37 to afford a one goal loss against them. 3 goals to go.

Really? Leicester was 3 goals ahead of us. Now they are 3-0 down. If we beat West Ham, Leicester will have to beat us by whatever that score was to be level.

 

[Nori-]

Question: Does anyone know, if we finish on the exact same points and goal difference as Leicester. What is then used to decide league position?

Is it head to heads? Most goals scored?

 

[Santoryo]

Why are we behind Leicester when we have the same GD and we beat them earlier this season?

They have more goals scored.

 

[Gator Nate]

You don't love to see Mourinho beating Leicester for us?

I love the moment... not the man.

 

[Denis79]

Strange half, Leicester played the best football but were killed on the counter attack. Three goals from 3 shots on target. My main hope is that Spurs keep a clean sheet 2nd half.

When teams are level on GD it should be decided on head to head results IMO.

Three goals from two shots on target actually

From the Premier League website

If any clubs finish with the same number of points, their position in the Premier League table is determined by goal difference, then the number of goals scored. If the teams still cannot be separated, they will be awarded the same position in the table.

We've scored 4 fewer goals than Leicester at the moment.

 

[edcunited1878]

Ndidi is too far forward and once the ball bypasses him, Leicester is completely vulnerable at the back. Their fullbacks are so far up the pitch.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Jose, you beauty! so how much more goals to we need?

The more the merrier.

 

[RedRonaldo]

We are level with Leicester on points
Leicester 62pts
Man Utd 62pts

they are only ahead on goal difference
Leicester 31
Man Utd 28

if they get beat by spurs by 4
Man Utd 28
Leicester 27

I’m only talking about this Sunday, we could end up in the top 4 and in the FA Cup final by the end of the day

Was that before this match? Are we now not tie in goal difference?

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

It's painful seeing how bad people on here are at maths

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

They were 14 clear of us after we lost to Burnley at the end of January.

And their GD was 21 better.

I’m sure they were 2nd in the league and I remember there was even talk of them pushing Liverpool for the league.

One almighty fall

 

[Buchan]

Ryan Bennett is having a horror show out there.

 

[Santoryo]

Really? Leicester was 3 goals ahead of us. Now they are 3-0 down. If we beat West Ham, Leicester will have to beat us by whatever that score was to be level.

No they'd have to beat us what half whatever more goals we have over them. Each goals basically counts for double in the final.

 

[RedCurry]

If I am understanding this correctly, GD is still favoring Leicester. If they lose today, we need two draws in our next two games. Even a 1-0 loss to West Ham would mean we would have to win on final day. Only way GD comes into play is if Spurs won by 5 goals or more.

 

[Man-United]

Really? Leicester was 3 goals ahead of us. Now they are 3-0 down. If we beat West Ham, Leicester will have to beat us by whatever that score was to be level.

For every goal Leicester scores vs us it's +1 for them and -1 for us.

 

[SirScholes]

Was that before this match? Are we now not tie in goal difference?

That is correct

 

[Nick7]

It’s insane that people don’t know the rules. I’m not even going to comment on the simple maths being butchered.

 

[GledTheRed]

GD is currently level, if we beat WHU by a few i think that's us sorted. Leicester aint gonna tonk us, be lucky to beat us with that team.

 

[MiceOnMeth]

Question: Does anyone know, if we finish on the exact same points and goal difference as Leicester. What is then used to decide league position?

I think it goes goals scored and then head to head

 

[Luffy]

We could draw our last 2 games if things stay like this.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Leicester City .........67 goals scored
Manchester United 63 goals scored

That is why they are 4th. (Still)

Until Kane scores hattrick

 

[Inigo Montoya]

FFS what are fans doing? It's not as if any real research needs doing. Apologies if it's a child posting.

Ah, I thought head to head came before goals scored. My bad.

 

[always_hoping]

Three goals from two shots on target actually

That's true as the 1st goal given as OG now.

Huh? They’re correct, if Spurs score one more, we go into the top 4. If we beat Chelsea we’re in the FA cup final.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Shocking and annoying, i dont understand why people are tryna overcomplicate things.

 

[londonredmaniac]

It's a tough one for Leicester now...if they were to lose 3-2 from here they'd probably see that as a result from here...

But what do they do? If they concede 4 or 5 they really are at risk of needing a big big result against us.

Fascinating 45 ahead...but also if anyone can still feck this...

 

[Shane88]

Lets not get any ideas about smashing West Ham. We don't want a Crystanbul situation.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Jose, you beauty! so how much more goals to we need?

More the happier, or is it merier (apoligies if I spelled it wrong)

 

[SirScholes]

Nah he’s laughing at the poster who misread my post I believe

If you're being completely pragmatic you probably go for it for the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half.

If it's still 3-0 you then retreat and try not to concede anymore.

I believe he thought today was a PL game
