PL place target for the rest of the season

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Pointless to deny it, all I care about this season is staying up. Anything beyond 17th is a bonus. This team is woeful and full of gutless scumbags who only show up when it suits them. I just hope the league has three sides who are worse. Once this season is over and we have the summer to get rid of most of these wasters we can talk about aspirations and targets again.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Top 10.

 

[evertonarntwe]

And yet only 8 out of the 20 teams in the league have scored more goals than us. Why? Because we're better than most of the teams in this league, as I've been saying for ages. We've been playing like a drain but still beating teams, because despite what loads of people want you to believe, we have better players.

spot on, get coleman and barkley back ( if barkley stays for the season ) and we automatically go up another level

and then bolasie who is another good option

With this manager 10th-13th any decent manager then we could of reached the same as last season 7th

RAWK mode on

We're gonna win der league.

RAWK mode off


And binned.

12th to 8th would be acceptable given the circumstances but we really can't keep making the same fundamental mistakes every summer. We really need to learn.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Top half. We’ve not won away from home for a year. One win against the worst team in the league at home doesn’t change that much.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Voted 8-12th. Actually top-half and the FA Cup have to be the targets.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

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

 

[leslad]

Staying up.
Anything bigger a bonus.

 

[Gladystweet]

Targets? In this order... safety, climb the table, wins ( I like wins), and no more acceptable losses...

I slept well last night by the way, it's been a while.

Winning FA Cup makes it acceptable but unlikely to happen.

7th and the FA Cup- minimal aim.

erm, have we?

We've won 4 games all season.

I wouldn't say we've still been beating teams?

But, you are right. We do have good players.

However, they need a solid base to work from. They haven't had that, and don't have that still.

Get the defence sorted and the confidence comes back and as you say our attack can be good enough on its day.

100% 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.
