This season vs Martinez 13/14 season

Possibly why he rested McCarthy. Unfortunately it was the wrong decision but as I said if we had played originally we wouldn't have had to rest McCarthy.

Yep. Also wanted to play Distin in that MF berth he also played in against United?

The OP's question answered there today.

72 points.

A pipe dream for this lot.

The ability of this team to lose the ball in possession is in stark contrast to the Martinez team's ability to retain it.

We are uncomfortable with the ball at our feet. We try and get the ball out wide and forward way too often, and it's predictable and is easily picked off by the opposition and / or easy for them to regroup against.

This team lacks pace and everyone but James is terrified to pass forward

I'd play Godfrey every game now.

Around 66pts we'll hit based on the last half of the season. Should be good enough for 5th or 6th

I'd say lower. 60 points.

[BrendanGOT]

Forgot when we lose a game we become relagation candidates in here half way thru the season, 10 wins 33pts, I'd say Europa is a cert.

 

[hktoffee]

Our home form is the opposite to the away form.

In Carlo we trust he needs time and his signings.

 

[BrendanGOT]

I'd say lower. 60 points.

Wasn't even saying it to knock Martinez mate. This team isn't great but Ancelloti is doing well I don't think the pts haul will be that low. Hard to see after a loss but we've 10 wins under us, joint on pts with Spurs and 4 pts behind Liverpool with a game in hand. Win our next game and only 8pts off top so 5th or 6th is achievable imo. Still think we should buy some cover this window to achieve this but it's on imo. 66pts.

Very predictable, with no balance at all, everything has to go through James and digne
