Someone get us the lube...

This could get pretty ugly.

You may be bad, but you're not Sunderland bad.

You may be bad, but you're not Sunderland bad.

Results say otherwise.

 

[Jatz]

For and Against argues that again.

To be fair, we've played our best football this season against the best sides. I'll hold out hope for that again.

Still had the momentum of promotion then though, but yeah I'd hope to see you put in a good performance against them. What's your run like after Soton?

Until the end of December:

Sunderland
At QPR
Liverpool
At Villa
Man City
At West Ham
Tottenham
At Hull

When you're 18th, they all look tough.

I view that and go
'that's hell. Tough teams at home, easier teams away'
I look at that and can't see you getting more than 7 points. (more realistically 2-3)
But then I look at the positives.
Later in the year the tough teams are away and the easier teams at home.
Should be able to pick up some good points in the later half of the year.

Has Vardy done anything since playing us?

If player's heads haven't dropped by then. You look at a side like Fulham last year and their heads well and truly dropped apart from the odd surge of form. Sunderland on the other hand powered through the end and stayed up, so it can go one of two ways.

You'd be wanting to pick up the odd away win amongst those though, but let's not make it against us.

[Magma]

vinny likely out after limping off, silva out. this should be amusing at the very least.

Pretty decent run really with the exception of City and West Ham away. Some winnable games there.

 

[Flameboy]

Need to improve on our last couple of outings if we want to win at Anfield, regardless of how poorly the Scousers are playing.

(Early game ftw)

 

[Cruyff14]

No Shelvey which is good for us, but it won't be an easy game.

 

[Cooldude]

C'mon, as long as the boys have a fair crack out there

 

[Jatz]

Probably reflects my pessimism that I look at that run and see very few points being picked up. We are so terribly out of form

Liverpool are going to stitch us up

 

[chef]

Liverpool v Chelsea at Anfield.........form always goes out the window for this one and anything can happen.

No confidence in November.

That's the real kicker. Otherwise you're a chance of picking up points in your next four games.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Chelsea are having a 1 loss season.
That's going to be at the Emirates.

They will lose 3 minimum.

 

[Cruyff14]

I'm sure DB has some idiotic formula as to why they'll only lose one game.

After all, this is the guy who plays more FM than watches football.
