Relegation

[Rooney_Tunes]

I know, it is genuinely terrifying. I can only see them wilting at Burnley & Watford.

Unless he plays a back four, drops Keane and Holgate, and gets rid of the zonal marking.

I think for away games play Begovic as well...

Atleast it's fun mate, keeps the old brain ticking on.

Oh look, here's Jack again with his fantastically funny dementia jokes....because people with dementia are dead funny aren't they?

...maybe you forgot you've been found out and warned about these *jokes*? That'd be funny wouldn't it? Funny Jackmac the funny man who makes jokes about dementia being forgetful himself. That's funny isn't it Jack?

What happens if they just get 4 points off Leeds and Southampton at home and get a draw off Watford? That gets them to 35 points and their GD is slightly better aswell. They've just beaten Norwich and Burnley back to back so think they've got enough about them to beat a couple of on the beach teams in run in as Southampton are now given they've just lost at home to Newcastle and Watford.

Good at least if they take points off Leeds (I feel they have enough momentum to get over the line now with their two late winners) and Watford (much more pressing that).

Hand on heart I'd be amazed if this team is safe going into the final day. Even being 3 clear of Burnley say will be no guarentee given it's away to Arsenal. Lose there by a couple of goals as they could well still need a win to get top 4 and all it would take would be Burnley beating Newcastle at home if the GD stays largely the same.

Someone said above this team is useless going a goal down away and I completely agree. Ran around like men possessed at 0-0 today but offered nothing once the first went in so that dosen't bode well for the remaining away games. Desperately need to score first at likes of Burnley and Watford.

Also a bit worrying people assume Palace at home is a certain 3 points after today and generally their record at Goodison in last decade is pretty good on the whole. Don't think just beating Brentford at home in the run in will be anywhere near enough unless the team properly grows some balls on the road.

Despite the instant euphoria of the Iwobi goal I think there's still a bit of pain ahead in next few weeks. Think Watford got Leeds at home coming up so they could win that and it would be proper panic stations going into playing them.

Welcome to the forum mate.....

U

The players deserve all the praise in the world when they win, and sadly on day's like today, they deserve all the criticism in the world. Unfortunately days like today, have been very frequent this season

Of course you'll argue otherwise until the cows come home, but i do feel i operate a very fair and consistent system, when it comes to both praise and criticism.

You are as inconsistent as the team itself.
You can't totally write them off for relegation then when they win say hang on we might be in with a chance here, it's one or the other and stick to your guns....

But you can't.

Sorry mate, could you repeat that again?

* That said, they have gone off the boil in recent weeks and we play them 4 days before they play in the EL QF 1st leg against Lyon.

If I was Moyes I'd be looking to rest up players there...and if I were a WHU player I'd be looking to avoid a battle.

….i recall you saying West Ham were a poor team earlier in the season.

More to do with ginger probably.

Does it matter? He cant put 2 games together

matters in the way that he should be the first name on the team sheet, you’re right though always had injury concerns

….no, you called them ‘pony’. I resume that’s uncomplimentary.

 

[barneygumble]

12 pts in the past 19 matches. 0.6pts a mtach. 11 matches left x 0.6 = 7pts rounded up. So that's 32.

Won’t be enough that.

Burnley will scrape a couple of wins and so will Watford.

Those games against them are massive. We can’t lose either, even if they’re draws.

Doucoure has looked like a child playing football since returning from injury. I don’t think Lampard can play gomes again, I’d rather we give a youngster a chance-never known a midfielder with such a lack of quality and physicality.

Allan suspension is a huge issue for West Ham and Burnley.

I doubt they will get a battle unfortunately.

Well, I searched on the forum for all my posts this season where I used the term 'pony' and none referred to West Ham.

Are you sure about this?
