Our Next Four League Games

[toffeestillidie]

8 points, 2 home wins, 2 away draws.

edit: didn't realize we had 3 home games. Think we draw Southampton and West Brom, beat Villa and Swansea

It's the new year isn't it.

15 points from those 4 games.

IT IS ON.

 

[flibbyflob]

I'd rip your arm off now for a repeat of the christmas run of 3 wins and 1 defeat.

Hardly. It took me fúcking ages to do the colours. I was ready to give up by 2010, but I kept going, for the sake of forum members everywhere. I'm so selfless.

Shows that our season really didn't pick up last year until the final game of January. If we can get the kickstart going earlier and replicate that form then we're in business.

 

[EFC NY]

I will be shocked if we don't draw at least one of these next 4. Especially with the 3 home games, most of the time during the next 4 will be spent with our opponents playing for the point, and I don't know that we have enough firepower or cutting edge to break a team down that wants to play 10 behind the ball all day long. We will need some set piece goals, some wonder strikes, and pens to get wins in some of these games, which is true for most teams anyway.

 

[Hellerad]

Worried most about Swansea and West Brom, but I'm optimistic we'll get 8-10 points out of the next 4.

Yep. On February 1st last year we were 9 points behind Liverpool. We got beat 3-0 by them and still managed to finish above them, really was a quality 2nd-half-of-the-season turnaround, but it didnt really happen till we signed Pienaar.

 

[Chill125]

Never back Everton on form.

I fully expect to go 1-0 down in Every game, nailed on 4 points though, that should keep us up.

If it was not so true to reality it would be funny.

 

[mpatton]

Southampton will be a dead cert win considering the amount of fans going from GOT alone helping suck the goals in.

Results of my predictions for position by 3rd February:

1 Man Utd 64
2 Man City 57
3 Spurs 46
4 Everton 46
5 Chelsea 43
6 Arsenal 42
7 West Brom 39
8 Liverpool 35
9 Swansea 34
10 Stoke 33


I dunno if i was a bit too optimistic, having us win away at Southampton. If that one is a draw we'd be on 44pts, still 4th but with Cheslea 1pt behind & a game in hand.
All conjecture though. And none of it fun. I am not looking forward to seeing the other sides spend money and undoubtedly improve.

 

[Allezfan]

Southampton, Villa and Swansea are three of the poorest sides we've faced so far this season. Given we beat all three comfortably and two of them we're playing at Goodison, I'd be disapointed with less then 7 points really.

 

[degsy]

This must be the 3rd or even 4th thread of....these are our next games, we should win all these.
Throw in the thread...someone's going to get a pasting one day

one game at a 'kin time

No rotation

Play your best avaliable 11 for each game.
