PaulC Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Can't see us gpoing down . I think Burnley, Everton and Newcastle will avoid the drop too and Brentford and Leeds will be very much dragged into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On current form though you certainly can't rule out ourselves or Leicester having a fight on our hands. Gerrard will turn things around though I'm confident of it. And once he does he can properly judged next season once he's had a full summer to prepare/bring in more of his own players The performance against Watford wasn't bad. We dominated possession and had loads of corners and 19 shots on goal. We just didn't take any of the chances. Newcastle was a totally terrible performance. We'll be fine. I just wish we'd find some form and string a few wins together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be fine too, still doesn't stop me thinking the worst from time to time though Hopefully the consistency comes next season when Gerrard has had a full transfer window after having most of this season to assess the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we'd find some form and string a few wins together I didn’t think it was that bad either. I think some credit has to be given to Watford for how they defended and broke. We won’t be the first team or the last they scrape wins against with Hodgson in charge. Edited February 24, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich was the only one and they had a huge Covid issue for that game Yes they have a fair bit, but the decline has been very marked since the Leeds/Newcastle games. 6 hours ago, nick76 said: I wasn’t, this was the comment I quoted and responded to I know you weren't trolling, I'm saying he was.

messi11 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) I think if Gerrard takes us down this season. We can look for a new manager in the summer. Steve Cooper could be a good shout, We should easily be winning the league with 100+ Pts and bounce back into the PL Sell: Bailey, Digne, Martinez, Ings, Watkins, Luiz, Ins: Use the loan market.

Gerrard was brought in because his ceiling is perceived to be having us challenging for silverware. That's my feeling on it. He'll be allowed the confidence of the board as long as he is seen to be able to fulfil that. Purslow's man or not I dont think Edens will give him next season if SG looks like taking us down. @KentVillan I thought I was speaking to your goodself for a moment.

We have not had a better XG than the opponent since the United game and we have played 4 of the bottom 6 Looking at the Watford game they had 4 big chances and we had one that would have been ruled out for offside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it doesn't bode well Watford generated almost double our chances as the away side. Without Emi making some difficult saves score easily could have been 2 or 3 to Watford.

I don't think anybody would say that we were unlucky not to score xG is mindblowingly far from an exact science, but it does take into account the quality of chances. In fact, its entire purpose is to create a stat that attempts to accurately predict a score based on the game.
