La Parka Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Still a 10 like. Nah, all seriousness, we are down to a 4. Excellent window, good business and a surprising change of culture has won me over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yeah, probably a 4 now. More likely to stay up. Hopefully we can pack the ‘ometer away in a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 'Pretty much safe' is an exaggeration. If we keep accumulating points at teh rate we are we should be fine. But if Trippier is out for a length of time we're still finding it difficult to score and teams below are not a million miles behind yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yeah, there’s plenty of work to do yet. But at least we look capable now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'm at about a 4 too, as I think we are now not among any favourites for the drop mind. But 4/10 still scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 If Trippier's injury is bad then I'd probably be worried. He's made such a huge difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were against Arsenal/Leicester/Liverpool/ all away, and Man City at Home. 4 wins, and some questionable draws, where we have been very unlucky, versus Man Utd I felt we could have walked away with all 3 points. Watford? And Norwich we were left hung after 7 minutes by Clark. Eddie has the capacity to see this through now.

rgk_lfc Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 On 23/01/2022 at 12:52, rgk_lfc said: 0 and No to the two questions. Mainly because I rate Eddie Howe that highly. I know he likes the high press and you probably have the worst midfield in the PL in terms of suitability for high press, but I think he will find a way. Win against Everton and the momentum should carry you through. Made this prediction on January 21. Smiles smugly and points fingers at all of you who are piling on the will not get relegated bandwagon now . I was not making that prediction randomly. You were looking good on every metric - offensively and defensively, running more miles, taking more shots, Xg, preventing easy chances etc since Howe took over. It was obvious that the points was going to follow. Secondly, I rate Eddie Howe that highly. You can see posts of mine praising him last summer, long before he was linked to you. All of those foreign managers turning you down was the best thing to happen to you, well second best after Ashley sold the club. You will be competing for Europa League places at the bare minimum, if not champions league places next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Down to a 4.5 from a 7. Why not lower? - Only 3 from 4, possibly 5 teams - We've had our 'easier' home fixtures with the teams around us and we still have to go away and do the business Get a result at Brentford and I'll be down to a 2.

Mattoon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Can't be 0 when we're not mathematically safe, however for the first time I'm dropping from a 6 to a 2,we've got the wind in our sails now and I can't see us dropping back into the bottom 3 when you look at current form between us and them. Even better is the fact this is probably the last time we'll see this thread in a generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not done for me. We've had some good results but we need to keep going. The threat is there, but the last few weeks have pushed me from a 10 to a 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
