Poll time guys, what say you ?
I was actually feeling optimistic after the wins against Villa and Spurs, but if we can’t beat 3rd place Man Utd away and 1st place Arsenal at home then we may as well throw in the towel now…We are as good as down.
Add to that the fact we’ve been beaten at home by 20th placed Southampton & got zilch at 19th placed Bournemouth I think your right, after all our so called manager throws the towel in regularly even before games have started.I was actually feeling optimistic after the wins against Villa and Spurs, but if we can’t beat 3rd place Man Utd away and 1st place Arsenal at home then we may as well throw in the towel now…
We’re not going down. We’ll flat track bully our way to enough points to stay up. Then we’ll have the small task of figuring out how to completely rebuild the squad.Add to that the fact we’ve been beaten at home by 20th placed Southampton & got zilch at 19th placed Bournemouth I think your right, after all our so called manager throws the towel in regularly even before games have started.
Is that rebuild before or after we win the FA Cup againWe’re not going down. We’ll flat track bully our way to enough points to stay up. Then we’ll have the small task of figuring out how to completely rebuild the squad.
I take it then you're got a few thousand on itWe are as good as down.
Correct and buckin rightAfter the wins against Villa and Spurs, almost nobody would have been predicting us to go down. Since then, we've played two league games: one away at Man Utd, who are 3rd in the league, have an exceptional home record and have just beaten Barcelona and won a cup; and a home game against Arsenal, who are top of the league and could very well win it.
Against Man Utd we actually played quite well for a while before crumbling in the second half. Against Arsenal we seemed overawed by playing the league leaders and were very poor going forward, although we defended pretty well. The point is, our season was never going to be defined by those two games. It's how we play against teams below the top four that will determine where we end up, and I think we'll win enough of those to comfortably stay up. After that, we face arguably the most important transfer window we've ever had.
We started tonight’s game with Thomas and Amartey in defence, Soumare and Praet in midfield, and Vardy up front. Clearly, we don’t have the strength in depth to rotate. But as bad as tonight was (and it was awful), it won’t have any bearing on how our league season goes.After tonight wie display down,
