7th and the FA Cup- minimal aim.
one win over the gashest West Ham side in living memory - and they've had some gash sides. And, we got massively lucky.
40 points. Get to that. Then see where we are in the season.
I'd like a good cup run, obviously.
7th and the FA Cup- minimal aim.
that’s because of the manager we’ve just employed100% this.
We've got a DoF who appears largely incapable of identifying any decent transfer targets, we have a squad full of overpriced, overpaid, gutless non-performers (Schneiderlin and Klaassen at the top of that list) and we've just appointed a manager whose USP is relegation avoidance, yet people are suggesting we're now somehow going to be back up to 7th / 8th? The January window is not a panacea and the road ahead is a long one. We'll do well to get to 10th by season's end.
Winning FA Cup makes it acceptable but unlikely to happen.
Domestic mate.What two cups can we win?
The FA Cup doesn't start till the new year and hopefully by then we will be one of those teams in mid table mediocrity that can play their first team every round.We're not going to win the FA Cup
We're not going to get into the top half
We're going to scrape survival at best
This is all a result of terrible coaching from Koeman, terrible transfer business from Walsh and the board, and terrible outings from a bunch of players you would expect to do much better
This season is a catastrophe, and the scariest thing is it could still even get worse
The board, coaching and playing staff have failed miserably. That's all this season will ever be considered as, a failure of epic proportions
It cannot, and indeed will not, be saved
The FA Cup doesn't start till the new year and hopefully by then we will be one of those teams in mid table mediocrity that can play their first team every round.
With Coleman and Bolasie coming back. Sigurdsson on the left, Bolasie on the right and decent target man with Rooney behind we could actually have a decent first team.
Of course this assumes we fix the Striker, CB and LB positions in January. Basically it's not a right off unless the board decide it to be a right off.
FA Cup and.....?Domestic mate.
If someone says we can't - Fat Sam will bodyslam them until they let us.
It hasn't been. The only reason we got the performance against West Ham that we did was because Big Sam was practically already the manager. Would Rooney have played otherwise?20 point first half of season (5 more needed from 5 games) and 30 points from the second half of the season (10 wins from 19).
50 points.
In 2016/2017 = enough for 8th
15/16 = enough for 10th
14/15 = enough for 10th
13/14 = enough for 9th
The bed has been pooped far too quickly. 45 points enough for top half last season.
No wonder Dodgy Sam fancies an easy 6 months work.
There's no way for this season to be "acceptable" now
We just need to get it over with and retain our Premiership status, with big axes getting wielded in the summer in the playing squad, coaching staff and boardroom
