    Christ, that game of ours against Swansea is huge for them. Their next five games (all PL) include away games v Liverpool, Chelsea and City. Huge pressure therefore on the one against us amongst that.

    Not as tough as Hull, mind. They have Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all in a row next in the PL - also three away.

    Going Tuesday with my 2 for 1 Meerkat tickets. Bargain.

    We need PL points, so hard choice for Puel with the Leicester match just before the Liverpool cup game. On the other hand, I'm going to the Leicester one as a Xmas present so he'd better factor that in<grr> I think we will beat Norwich anyway if we cut out silly stuff. Leicester is winnable, but the cup game is a massive consideration. I jut hope we don't get caught between two stools and win neither. Realistically, I'm going for:

    Norwich 2-0 win
    Leicester 1-1
    Liverpool 2-0 loss (but still a bit hopeful of a draw :))
    Swansea 1-1
    West Ham 2-0 win
    Sunderland 3-1 win

    So 8/12 points (and I'm not even on the gin :))

    Can you make the 1-1 a 93rd minute equaliser? Thanks.

    This I believe is similar to how Puel probably plans his lineups.....at least 3 matches at a time.

    However frustrating people find the rotation (me included at times) - no-one can deny that he had the right players playing in the Liverpool game and they all looked ready for it

    Yoshida only improves the more he plays. Those two may have to just play every single game.

    It's also probably the least demanding outfield position from a physical aspect.

    Same with Romeu. If Romeu gets injured, we are in trouble.

    In trouble, yes. No-one could deny that. But I still think we would survive. Whereas if Sunderland lose Defoe to injury (or sell!!), or Hull lose Snodgrass, or Boro lose Negredo, or Swansea lose Sigurdsson, then they're more than in trouble - in all honestly, they're relegated.

    I'd say Swansea are already relegated tbh. Probably Hull too.
