Relegation

[coollino]

We are in big trouble.

Maybe the crowd can help us cause an upset against Palace because the crowd have been magnificent of late (like a 12th man, as Frank said), but Palace tonked us 4-0 the other month without breaking a sweat.

If I was a gambling man I would bet on us getting just 3 points from our final 3 matches, which almost certainly won’t be enough to keep us up.

Brentford on Sunday is a MUST win. It’s perhaps the biggest game in our club’s history. We have got to get behind the lads from the first whistle to the last like we did against Chelsea.

I’m actually not that disappointed with the point against Watford away because the last time we played them we conceded 5 goals, but it leaves us in a perilous situation.

This post is insane, Leeds have two games left, Burnley have three and one is spurs away

How will 3 points be not enough?

Another few days of number crunching and going through fixtures and outcomes. Oh what id give for a boring mid table finish with nothing to play for. Please everton just get it done sunday

Come kick off sunday a point might even be enough.

...erm, because Goodison isn't "practically" a home game and we beat that lot by 4 last time they were up here.

In the cup. Probably meant nothing to them.

All I'm saying is that it's not going to be easier than last night was

Going to be going to Arsenal last day needing something aren’t we..

If we win at weekend and Leeds don't win at Brighton we're safe I believe, we've also got Palace game before Arsenal. Nothings certain but I'd suggest we're back firmly in the driving seat.

In what world would another 3 points “almost certainly” not be enough to keep us up??

You reckon Leeds are “almost certainly” going to win their last two, AND Burnley are going to win 2 of their last 3 (one being spurs away)?

Take it leeds loose 1-0. We draw 0-0 with brentford. Would leave leeds needing to make up 20 goals. To put into context; we would have to loose 5-0 to palace and arsenal. Whilr they would have to beat newcastle 10-0

 

[blueblood]

Maximum of 4 points needed to guarantee safety. I think we’d all have taken that a couple of weeks ago.
Hope he reverts to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 for the next 2 home games. Need to get more control in the middle to try and pose more of a threat going forward.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Still a bit disappointed with that 0-0 really highlighted how toothless our attackers can be

All fart no s***

Just makes us potentially need results against Brentford who are bang in form since Eriksen and Palace who we never seem to get a result against

Out of the 3 we are clear favourites to stay up but it wouldn't take much to change that on Sunday. Leeds playing first could pile the pressure on us.

Or they could be losing and down to ten men for the third time in three games.

Leeds are garbo.

They are but when you're in a relegation battle you can't ask for more than a mid table side at home.

Lucky we've got Brentford at home at the weekend then.

Home record under Lampard : W6, D1, L2

Let's have some more belief in the team, please. We're going to get the job done that we've started.
