MikeO Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 You have me all wrong Mike. I'm not talking about ALL not worrying but certain people with the "don't be negative it'll affect the team" or "we need to stay positive or it'll doom us" brigade. Doesn't matter if fans are positive or negative, in the ground during matches they are behind the team where it counts. Places like this is where they come to voice concern. Some are literally refusing to accept there's a problem referring to it as a "dip in form" when it's quite clearly much more serious than that. Wasn't referring to people not agreeing that would just be narrow minded but some people need to wake up and smell the threat of relegation mate because it's looming. I honestly think we're going to go down. While I accept moat wont others complete denial there is massive issues rooted deep are in for a shock. Next season IF we survive will be the same if we keep him. Fair enough, point taken. Still disagree completely though . Some people really do believe it's a "dip in form" and believe that as clearly and profoundly as you believe otherwise. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I hope you are right. I think the best we will get is 2 points and I am not really confident of either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people really do believe it's a "dip in form" and believe that as clearly and profoundly as you believe otherwise. Time will tell. This. I read all people's views with interest. And take it all on board. But I haven't shifted my stance. The key line is.. Time will tell. We can debate the 'I'm telling ya, we are in the shit'...'we are going down'...'it's just about to turn for the better'...'it's to an off season'...whatever. It makes no difference. We have to wait and see who's 'instincts' prove worthy. And we are talking another 9-12 months...so stick around!!! I see us getting 9 or 10 points from the next 5 games. Either 3 wins and a draw or 3 wins 2 defeats. It's the Arsenal game that I'm unsure of...draw or lose?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Palace were a bogey team when they had pulis, they now have pardew who we usually beat.

Elston Gunnn Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think we'll beat Palace and Leicester and get a point at Liverpool maybe Arsenal. Liverpool is at Goodison. Hope that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seve Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I can not predict what points we may get from the games listed above as ive no idea which team will turn up or if RM remembers to change things when we are plying poor ie use his 3 subs before the 89th minuet.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Our next 5 league games are Palace away Liverpool home Chelsea away Leicester home Arsenal away. How many points do you think we will get from those games. I would say no more than 4 or 5. And that assumes a home win over Leicester which is not a given. Come first of March we could very well be played 27 points 27 and that is bottom three territory. My head says Palace away 2-2 Liverpool home 1-3 Chelsea away 0-4 Leicester home 0-0 Arsenal away. 0-2 But all our nils will be phenomenal! However as daunting as those games look maybe these fixtures are a blessing in disguise. Apart from Leicester they will all have a go at us and play some football and that should suit us more. We are at our worst when teams just sit back and defend against us a la West Brom Lets hope the little break has done them some good and that we are an entirely different team in the remaining fixtures, because we need to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried about the Palace game than any of the others tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) The closer we get to this Palace match the more important it seems to become. First and foremost it's a must not lose game and Roberto just isn't geared towards 'not losing' - he would rather lose while chasing the win. Normally I would approve of such an approach but we must be pragmatic here. I would take the ugliest 0-0 draw or, better, a 0-1 win with the winner coming from a rebound off Jags arse in the 94th minute. I just dont think Roberto has the right mentality for these sort of matches. And Palace have just signed Jordan Mutch and Shola Ameobi.

MC11 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 My team for tomorrow if everyone is fit and ready to play a full 90. Robles Coleman Stones Jags Baines McCarthy Besic Lukaku Barkley Mirallas Naismith (false 9) I think Lukaku can do a job on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 No footy today so it's a few beers and soccer Saturday watching Everton win and my bets come in. Just hope that parrot nosed prick Le Tissier isn't on our game. When he screams goal you know it isn't everton ( did we piss him off years ago? ). I'm confident today that a win and good performance is going to be the out come. Not an easy game by all means but I think that spark and energy will be back after the break away. If not were fuc@@d and going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 On the back of Roberto saying we don't need wingers, I'm expecting a new system today - maybe something we worked on in Dubai. If we're sticking with the usual system then we clearly need at least one winger in jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Besic and McCarthy in midfield, mirallas and mcgeady out wide and Ross behind lukaku. That will give us energy in midfield, width to press on their full backs and allow Baines and Coleman to get up and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
