villalad21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 VP will turn very ugly if things don't change soon. We all know how hard it is to play there when it is like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Individual quality dragging Spurs to another win, they should be o.k now. Norwich lost a bit of heart since the offside goal which is understandable as that was key point in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Leicester winning again, that's good. Gap to 17th would remain just one point. We need to limit the damage before we make the managerial change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Wow, that was actually a Spurs og with an assist by a Spurs player!! Pukki is obviously getting wise to this offside thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Fair play to Norwich. They'll still go down though. West Ham losing is the small crumb of comfort today. Problem is West Ham-Bournemouth is on NYD so one of those will probably win, we'll probably lose at Burnley and the gap to 17th will increase signficantly. Today has probably relegated us unless we roll the dice very quickly. Our GD was pretty good at start of December but since then we've lost all the games by aggregate of about -10 so that's a small advantage we've lost to our relegation rivals.

sidcow Posted December 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2019 It's just so hard to see us getting points. Everyone else looks capable but when you play the only 3 clubs below you and lose one at home, win another but are totally outplayed and don't anywhere near deserve it, then lose the other away very badly against 10 men, where do you go? It's hard to see us beating anyone else and the big teams are on the horizon again, what happens after we get punished 8 - 0 by an angry Man Citeh? Things could get seriously depressing then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we keep DS for rest of the season we'll struggle to win more than 3 games. We will be relegated by quite a distance. New manager, possibly bounce and 5 wins with a few draws and we wouldn't be far off. Six wins would keep us up. It's still far from impossible if we change things. Just doing little but signing more lower level projects and crossing our fingers isn't going to work this team given the state we're in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 West Ham lose, probably Manuel Pellegrini's final game. Moyes seems to think he's getting it again. West Ham still have loads of tough away games to play so don't think it's a lock at all they'll just breeze up to 40 points. Think they'll be in the mix until the end.

useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Forgetting performances and results we're not in the worst of positions, still only a point from safety, West Ham have a game in hand but that's against Liverpool, and they play Bournemouth next, so if we beat Burnley then we will come out of the relegation zone whatever happens, Bournemouth win then a draw against Burnley will be enough to take us above West Ham.

How many more times will we play a team like Norwich who are below us in the league, get comprehensively outplayed by them yet come away with an undeserved win. I would suggest we are far more likely to end up with a result like today's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 We have played most of the the bottom half at home already - think we are going to struggle to get near even 35 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Southampton's next three games are against Spurs, Leicester and Wolves, I know they've been getting some surprise results but surely they can't keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
