Relegation

[Dublin blue 75]

Yet another ignominious asterisk to this season. Disgusting.

Not sure the weather will have an affect.
They lost 4 nil at home 2 days ago . Didn't put up much fight then

To correct you, they did.

They were playing the European and world champions. It was 0-0 at half time.

Miles better than the trash performance we’ve just chucked in

Next 2 games at Home to Wolves and Newcastle are must win

Watford away and Burnley away will determine if we stay up. Lose against those two and it’s relegation.

I just can’t see anything other than us losing both. Toss up between us and Norwich as to the worst team in the league.

 

[The Littlest Yobo]

Well that's not true either. We absolutely do not need 8 home wins. We need to win half of our home games. Thats why getting at least 1 win from these 2 matters so much

Haven’t we only got 7 home games left?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yeah you're right actually. My bad

Need to win 4 of 7. Still achievable

And we a week ago done similar against the league champions and lost 1 nil .
They lost 4 nil at home yet we have people are sayin Burnley will definitely stay up. Games are over 90 mins not 45
Maybe they will. But id still rather be in our position.

I think we can afford not to win against Newcastle. I don't think we should drop out of first gear against Wolves either. Need to reserve some energy for the harder games that we need points off.

Watford away will be crucial as well. We can still stay up, but tonight's events have really deflated me tbh.

Imagine taking over this squad and thinking what it needed was James Rodriguez bombing out.

Then bombing out a first choice LB for daring to question tactics

Digne you mean

James was never fit

Digne you mean

James was never fit

Delph is never fit. Mina is never fit.. James would be our top scorer this season.

Absolutely not what we need in a relegation fight. He was barely fit and a luxury we couldn't afford

What we really do need right now are competent top flight full backs.

If we had him we might not be in this position either. Benitez wanted him out from day 1. Without replacing his quality. If he was fit for 15 games I'd say we would have more points now .
