Race for The Top 10

[SugarRay]

I must admit I bought it hook, line and sinker.

Bit of a kick in the balls when you hear Mourinho agreeing with him now. Don’t hear anything from the club about having a super talented squad now, though.

To be fair, fans don’t know what goes on behind the scenes, they just see poor performances and results on the pitch and want changes.

There was ITK saying there was going to be a mass exodus if Poch stayed which could be true but then I’d say, at this moment in time, fucking good.

It’s needed really. So many not good enough.

I would take 4th from bottom nevermind 4th from top right now if it means we get to the final of the FA cup

This lot, in a fucking final? It would be Arsenal facing us and they’d crumble and lose 4-0 to them.

 

[spursfan77]

Shit. Just noticed arsenal are only 3 points behind us now with a game in hand. Fuck.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Shit. Just noticed arsenal are only 3 points behind us now with a game in hand. Fuck.

Arsenal are shit, but they're probably better than us. Think the home game against them may well be a very sobering afternoon.

 

[Drink!Drink!]

shall we rename this thread now
maybe to "The Everton Cup" thread?

If we have Kane and son back we will be ok. If we don’t, I dread going.

 

[slartibartfast]

Shit. Just noticed arsenal are only 3 points behind us now with a game in hand. Fuck.

I'd be amazed if we finish above them. Already accepted that we're done this season to be honest.
Top flight club with 1 striker ffs. Embarrassment.

Yup. We fucked ourselves good this time. Let our own ferguson go

 

[yankspurs]

We’re such a fucking joke. Who would’ve thought when Poch said we needed a complete rebuild he knew what he was talking about.

Most knew we needed a rebuild. Too bad the short bus in the suite didnt.

 

[S0S]

We're not in a race for top four anymore

We are just going to slowly descend in to a mid, lower mid table finish

We look awful, I can't see where we get the next win from

We have no team continuity

I can't see what the manager is trying to do

I can't see a shape, I can't see a plan, I can't see any real tactics

It just looks like a bunch of players thrown on the pitch and left to go about their business

We are blunt upfront, weak in the middle and shambolic at the back

The tactics worry me, the lack of cohesion within the team worries me, the lack of passion from the players worries me, the amount of individual errors worries me immensely

After Dele missed his header, to make it 3-1, we didn't so much as create a chance or have a shot until they'd scored 2 goals and we eventually got a ball to Lucas in the box which he failed to do anything with late on

Lucas and Bergwign work hard going forward and make runs that are never provided with service

Winks neither protects the back for or creates anything going forward

It all just seems a massive mess right now and I can't see how we are going to fix it without a complete overhaul and rebuild
I am also far from convinced that Jose is the best man to oversee this, I feel like he is 2005's man, the game as changed and I am not sure he has kept up

We have no choice but to give him time now, let him have the window to start to build the squad in his image and see what he can do, but I can't help but feel we have missed our chance to break in to the elite level and will now return to where we came from, with our tails between our legs (but do so in a very nice shiny new stadium that gets to host NFL and boxing matches)

 

[wadewill]

Jose is going for the FA Cup, I can see him using the remaining league games to totally suss out what he has.

let’s stay optimistic, the results have improved post Poch, I was seriously worried about being loosely involved at the bottom.

This season league wise is done

 

[CowInAComa]

Seems to me that we are in a battle of mediocrity, not sure how people can claim we are miles off these other sides around us considering we have been awful from pretty much day one of this season. Yet, here we are only 5 points off 4th.

I cant see any reason why we cant be in the mix over the next 10 games. It'll go to the wire.

I can give you two reasons we won't be in the mix: son & Kane.

They are shit though. All depends on Kane’s return and when it is.

Looking at the remaining league fixtures

Burnley -away
United -home
West Ham -home
Sheff United -away
Everton -home
Bournemouth -away
Arse -home
Newcastle -away
Leicester -home
Palace -away

I see maybe 5 points if being honest.
WTF and doh all u want , denial is real

We’ve had a horrible knack in the last couple of years of losing/not getting results against rivals. I fear the goon game could be a really toxic atmosphere. Before that though we’ve got to navigate home to West Ham of all fucking teams! Lose these two games, which I think we just well might do, and I think the mood at the ground will resemble what it’s like in here! ?

I reckon 8/9 points

 

[eddiev14]

I’m just surprised that some of you are only waking up to the reality now.

As soon as Son’s injury was announced that was us done for the season.

Poch said we needed to rebuild. He was right then, he’s even more so now.

I heard the other day that Levy didn’t spend in 2018 in order to make that mammoth profit last year, which sealed great terms on the refinancing. Makes sense but he’s going to have to spend a few hundred million on players now. This lot are a shambles!

Usually we’d think , 5 games at home there’s a chance . But we look exposed and weak at home
