How is 56 points the expected 6th place total? Seems low and would mean Man U only win 1 of 5 games?

Can't believe the lad is getting flack when he was played at LWB when he's was being compared to Ross Barkley the other week.

I was talking about Luton, SU and Burnley only. It's criminal Luton took 4 points off us.

With the teams coming up it could be the strongest PL we have ever had. Can't see there being any absolute fodder like this season.

Both of those teams will probably have a new manager and go through another transition year with a lot of squad turnover, both teams have a higher ceiling than us but they also have a much lower floor. I see us as a steady 65-75 point team next year with both of those between 60-85 I would be shocked if they both hit the upper end of that.

That can't be real?

I must have missed it. I think top 4 is a real opportunity with no Klopp. Chelsea and Man U I think we should be better than. Villa can't maintain this and need a drop off at some point. Arsenal and City have 2 spots locked next season, the other 2 are anyones.

Just like Darwin, its not worth the stress.

I'm not touching Jackson. Palmer only.

Wild card looks rough this week, I have no faith in any of the popular selections. Haaland potentially not fit, Chelsea and Spurs with 2 doubles but they are Chelsea and Spurs. Man U and Us with doubles,

The man got thrown in at wingback against an incredibly skillful and tricky team. It was never a sustainable strategy.

It will be interesting to know what the expectations are next year. It has to be pushing for a top 4 spot.

It's not even that he needs bulking up, he's just a championship level player and always has been. Good round the dressing room though, just like Ritchie, Dummet and Krafth.

I do, I just think he has too many basic errors that hold us back

If we have any ambition we should take Iraola off them.

2 easy games, another against a shit show then 2 tough games where Howe will get out coached. So we will need to rely on Isak and Gordon.

Dreadful from Howe. This play the same team that won the last game is such a basic philosophy. Totally different styles of play we were up against and a far superior technician in Eze who we let run the show without his wingman Olise.

10 of the top 13 in the NO league have wc and bb left. So everyone pretty much on wc 35 bb 37. Going to have to go for some differentials to make some ground.

Chelsea could win every remaining game, they could also lose every remaining game too. Jackson getting booked tonight would be great for us as he will miss the next two.

Can see him having a solid end to the season, he's going to be playing with a point to prove and that's when he's at his best.

Same with Pope, can't get fit before Callum Wilson? Very poor.

Still not back? If he's not back tomorrow then just save him for Brighton, Man U and Brentford.

He has the least clout of anyone at the Telegraph, he's essentially just a cheer leader who has only broke stories when his mates have let him have some of the pie.

Our most important player, would be suicide to let him go.

Very good player. Palace have done a class job of raiding the Championship, something I don't think we should turn our noses up at.
