TRon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 He's not the type of man who would leave mid-season IMO, if he gets no money in January, I think he'll see the season out then quit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Been at an 8 for a while now, still there after today. the 2 points away for certain are based purely on the hope Rafa gets the funds he needs and he doesn't waste it. 15 points is an absolutely pathetic total at this stage, worst in our PL lives I believe, absolutely have to get something at West Ham, which is going to be very tough now since they've found form from nowhere.

Ketsbaia Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Stoke have a good run of fixtures from now. Unlike us, most teams actually get points in such runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Can anyone actually see us getting 7 or 8 wins from 19 games?? If we get some signings in during January, definitely. You keep banging on as if the season is done, it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Can anyone actually see us getting 7 or 8 wins from 19 games?? Home games: Man City Brighton Swansea Burnley _______________ Man Utd Southampton Huddersfield Arsenal West Brom Chelsea Away games: West Ham Stoke Man City _______________ Crystal Palace Bournemouth Liverpool Spurs Leicester Everton Watford After the lines are after January 7 or 8 will be tough, sure. Hopefully it'll be less needed. Brighton and Swansea at home before (the end of) January are fucking massive, man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats from 20 games. 36pts is normally ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Can anyone actually see us getting 7 or 8 wins from 19 games?? It's hard to see that at the moment. But can you see Swansea doing it? Their only win in the last two months was against West Brom who haven't won a match since August. In fact West Brom have only won nine football matches in the last 12 months, in all competitions. Stoke have won once in their last eight league matches. Brighton once in their last nine. Everyone's shite man, we only need to be better than three of them.

Robster Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hey fuck it. Man City's run has to come to an end eventually. We might catch them being complacent and snatch a point. Am I deluded? Yes, but while Rafa is here, I'm going to carry on believing anything is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Can anyone actually see us getting 7 or 8 wins from 19 games?? In our last six games, we have Leicester, Everton and Watford. Just saying, but a lot of teams have historically stopped playing when they hit 40 points. With so many of the "normally 7th to 12th" teams starting so poorly this season, timing of fixtures seems to be more influential than normal. We also have five PL teams going deep into the CL and Arsenal still in Europa. It means that there are advantageous times to play them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There ain’t hope of us getting 7 or 8 more wins with the current squad. We need significant improvements in January.

steve_69 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 For the first time I’m genuinely pessimistic about our chances of staying up. Looking at the teams in the PL yesterday, all of them with the exception of us and possibly Swansea and Brighton have players capable of changing a game or unlocking a defence. West Brom - Rondon West Ham - Arnautovic, Lanzini Palace - Zaha, Townsend Huddersfield -Mooy, Ince, Mounie Even Swansea have Bony, Routledge, Dyer, Olsson. Without significant top quality reinforcements we’re going down with a whimper. Nailed on! We’re relying on Perez, Diame, Joselu, Gayle, Ritchie to turn PL games and they’re all Championship players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Brighton, Swansea and us really isn’t it. But as we all knew it depends on which magicians we can sign in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
