DCJonah Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Could have been so much better. Great opportunities to really push for 3 points in the last 2 games. Everton kept pushing forward, made attacking subs and were rewarded. Edited December 26, 2015 by DCJonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 but we did push, both last week and today. unfortunately we haven't got enough goalscorers in the team to take advantage of the chances we do create Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Newcastle have West Brom away next. Swansea got Palace away. Bournmouth got Arsenal away. Chelsea are having Man Utd away. Sunderland got Liverpool "cmon agent Benteke lol'. Could we reduce the gap by three points? A very good chance to do that Monday. I know weve said it against Watford and Newcastle. But if we win this it might be our biggest win in the recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Looking at our fixtures we could go and win the next seven games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent in our position. We dont know the taste of a win. We are just being able to come back to games. While saying that I think Garde not putting Adama last week in the last 15 minutes was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we can afford to draw in games where we have a real chance of winning. Because I don't think that's going to be a regular scenario.

useless Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 We can beat them both. We're going to have to beat some tough opponents at some point if we're to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think any change would have made a difference at this game. West ham were closing areas. Last game I agree with you. Traore would clearly have made a difference. I dont think we have the mentality to gamble in the last couple of minutes yet. You could see the fear of players losing the ball in the injury team. Had we gambled more i think we would have lost. We only had 2 midfielders when Traore came. Veretout is developing to a real threat. A goal might do him only good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true but tbf I look at Swansea away, Norwich home and away, Southampton, Bournemouth and Newcastle at home as all games we need to win although we're running out of those even now. I'd group Palace and Leicester in the Watford category, games that looked good on paper to win in August but once you play them you see why they're so high in the table. Draws at best.

useless Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 We probably won't win seven in a row. But as individual matches they're all winnable games and so I'll be hopeful going into each one, and I expect us to get a points haul and perhaps find ourselves outside the relegation zone once they've been played.

Hanky Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm not sure we have any winnable games. If we do, surely today was top of the list and we still can't get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think commentator said West Ham hadnt scored in 4 before today if any game was a "banker" for us that would be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Does anyone actually think we are capable of survival? If we need 40 points to stay up then we are going to require 32 points from our final 20 games, 1.6 points per game (currently averaging 0.4 points per game) which is basically Champions League qualification form from this point onwards. Ain't gonna happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) We're playing at maximum capacity at the moment and at least we have a steady team now. As much as we don't look like winning, we don't look like losing either. A steely determination. I have to say there is an improvement, our best performance all season in fact today. it's just a pity that comparison is akin be to comparing which of my Xmas turds smells the best, at the end of the day it's all still shit. Problem for Garde is, I don't see headers from Gestede and Ayew doing the odd bit of magic being enough. We need slightly more which leaves him with a dilemma.
