Leicester (h) Everton (h) Arsenal (a) West Ham (a) Man City (h) Brighton (h) Stoke (a) How many points do you think we'll get ? like i say a genuine peaceful question. 3 wins minimum we “should” get, or two wins and a couple of draws. So 8/9 points.. unless we pull off an unexpected result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the shite we've been served up recently, this is the most positive it's been possible to have been post-Ashley and more than any of us could have hoped for. That's depressing in its own right and you've every right to be as negative as you like fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now we're down the slippery slope to 15th place due to teams around us today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could potentially get points at all the others. I’d hope we might get 12 points but perhaps 8-10 is more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you expect otherwise? We were always going to be scrapping to out in the bottom half with all the other crap. Look at our squad man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had 10 years of absolute shit since Ashley took over.We 've had some great managers here he's publicly undermined them all he's done nothing for this club except send the club backwards. We used to be a club that competed in Europe we can barely survive the premiership now Off the top of my head; In isolation only the Watford game was a surprising disappointment. Bournemouth and Burnley were close games that could have gone either way, and the defeats against Chelsea and Man Utd were entirely predictable. They coincided with our thin squad being stretched and our performances should improve when Lascelles and Merino return to full fitness. Murphy has improved with each game and should provide competition when Atsu, Ritchie and Aarons are all fit ( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerbarton 24 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The PL is too unpredictable for us to be certain of anything. Otherwise someone would be winning that Super Six every weekend. I think we're a bit unfortunate to be facing Leicester when they're hitting a good run and Everton now they have Allardyce, but neither of those sides are unplayable in the way that Chelsea or Man United proved to be. If Lascelles comes back and the defensive organisation looks more like it did before his injury, I can see us putting in pragmatic but effective performances. Against Leicester the key is to be cagey and not let them hit us on the break. Against Everton, it's a totally different story cos they're slow as f*ck. I've got faith in Rafa to get that right. The other encouraging thing is that Gayle looks like he's got an eye for goal again, so if we can get some good service into him we might actually be able to score some goals!

rogerbarton 24 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd be happy to say Joselu wouldn't have scored either of the two goals Gayle has got against Man United and Chelsea, partly due to movement, partly due to speed, partly due to finishing.
