Relegation

[blue to the bone]

Burnley will not drop down. We are in deep trouble. Leeds have took a huge chance on this Yank. Brentford are not out of it. Norwich and Watford will struggle to get near survival. It will be interesting what the bookies now think. Wolves is a six pointer, cliché yes, but its a fact.

Why are Burnley safe . They have won 3 games all season, lost there last 2 at home and are currently in the bottom 3 .

I think we are screwed but then again we do at least look competitive at home

 

[daza_1973]

Will we be the biggest prem club to go down since......... Man City? Anyone else??

Man u in the early 70s without a doubt, our near 70 year top flight run dictates this, City were a yo-yo club before they fell on their feet.

because Burnley are a fighting team and clubs like us are giving them a reason to fight

 

[blue to the bone]

Don't necessarily disagree, but with United especially, there's no way we don't get another VAR screw-job like the City special. Leicester, again, really just comes down to how much fight we get from the players.

After tonight? ...

At home yes. Our last home game in the league we should have got something against the best team in the league.

Leicester and United at Home are both winnable

They are but we could easily get turned over too. Got to consider how bad our form actually is.

Mate your head has fully fell off here.

How is that Mike, I'm perfectly OK if not a tad disappointed at our performance tonight, but I wasn't expecting us to win tbh merely a better performance.

Ya. They lost 4 nil at home to Chelsea the weekend..Big fight there

That would be the Burnley who’ve lost their last 2 by an aggregate of 6-0 at home

I just think they will fight and we on that performance wont. We go to Burnley on a cold Tuesday night with that back 4 and who wins

Not sure the weather will have an affect.
They lost 4 nil at home 2 days ago . Didn't put up much fight then

 

[Nymzee]

I think we'll be safe, purely because of how bad some others are. Norwich are gone, Watford look it too & I still think Brentford will slide in there. Leeds' goal difference is a blessing for us but we could have done with keeping the scoreline down tonight.

You also said Benitez would see out the season.

Many on here said a trained chimp could get this lot defending well and all Benitez needed to do was play a Midfield 3.

How did that work out for us?

Benitez wasn't the problem - how some can't see that still is baffling.

Wasn't the biggest problem agreed, but a problem nonetheless. Clearly the quality and determination of most of the players was/still is the biggest problem, but we couldn't have replaced an entire squad over the course of a January transfer window. could we

We are soft, they are poor but not soft.
