Goal difference aside we're a win away from the top half. Just shows how tight the league still is.

 

It was like this last year, and the year before too. Not sure if it's always been the trend, but I remember thinking in our first year back all we needed was a few results in a row and we would've been battling for Europe.

Currently five points.

 

Points are only a reflection of form and to move into the top half our form has to be significantly better than the teams above us to make up five points - and there's no signs that is going to happen anytime soon. 

 

 

We're three points behind 10th place Swansea.

 

And if you look at the league, if only we had won the other easier home games......:(

Consecutive batterings by Man U and Arsenal should fix this.

If Liverpool win (which they currently are) Swansea drop to 11th and Norwich will be tenth with 25 points.

I think Marveaux's got a bit of Martinsitis on this board. He's being heralded as the missing link simply because he's always out of the team. However, today you're absolutely right - he should definitely be in the team for games like that.

 

 

:thup:

 

He's done enough to deserve a fair crack, but agree, there are no guarantees he will be able to deliver week-in, week-out against opposition that aren't QPR or 10-man Wigan. In terms of style though, he is the closest we have to a HBA/Cabaye back-up. Makes no sense not to play him in games we're trying to win.

 

How do you know he won't be able to consistently deliver? :lol: He's barely been given a chance, like. He seemed to look the part last week against Man City. He cant be any less consistent or laboured than Tiote!

 

I don't?

 

Think you may have misread my post. I want him to start and he's shown good potential, but I don't think his inclusion will be a panacea for us. He remains largely unproven, and I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it in a very matter-of-fact way! :) Hoping for the best though.

 

Also, Tiote has been really good the last couple of games IMO.

I'm trying not to think about it :(

Honestly that's a fucking disgraceful and worrying comment. If he actually believes that (which i reckon he does), we will not improve and it'll be a relegation battle all season long. The guy has lost the plot.

I'm on about right now, not looking into the future. Not sure what your point is.

I hope you're not serious, bud. That's the rubbish I'd expect from your pal Al.

 

He's been poor when the responsibility to attack has been placed on him (which isn't his fault). In terms of doing his legal destroying/passing, he did fine today and coped well against Yaya last week. An improvement from his early season form which was disastrous, I'll gladly concede.

 

After you get flak from fans it's tough to turn them back around though so I understand why some might still fixate on his shooting etc. He needs to keep going from strength to strength once he returns from suspension.

 

Before ACoN :(

He owes Shola massively today because he lost a large portion of the crown when he brought Cisse off.

 

The crowd didn't want Jonas off either. Bunch of drunken lunatics.

 

They did.

That saying we are one win away from the top half when the teams above us are still playing is jumping the gun, and it also assumes the teams above us are going to lose when we win.
