steve_69 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 8. These are the games we need to win. 3 points against teams around us. Imo we are on track to get relegated. I agree. Every other team has match winning quality with the exceptions of probably Brighton, Huddersfield and Swansea. It'll be three from us and that lot to go down. Our only hope is Slimani really. So our hope is based on our striker scoring goals? Pretty much like all the teams in the league then. The problem is, we've had some of the shittest strikers even seen in this league playing for us this season. So, teams only score when the striker scores? Pretty sure that's not how it works. Most good teams get plenty of goals from midfield as well. We don't though. At the moment our biggest goal threat is Lascelles because our strikers are awful. We do create chances for them though, so sticking a player up top who can put some of them away will undoubtedly benefit us. Between Joselu and Gayle we've probably missed 20 good chances this season already and most of our games are decided by one goal. So yes, Slimani could make a massive difference.

We're not talking about good teams. We're talking about teams battling relegation. Every single one will require their striker to score goals. We've got the worst strikers in the league, so yes Slimani is key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's only the start of February and I already feel the day-to-day relegation edginess of if it was much nearer the end of the season. Weird mixture of being glad that I care, and thinking I'm a mug because I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So "all teams in the league" in the sentence with "hope" in it refers to those teams battling relegation. We're in a thread called "relegationmeter". It really didn't need the explanation.
