    If you can keep your manager, then I think you will bounce straight back up, that's assuming you don't win your last two games and relegate Palace, which is a big ask, given you have Spurs to end the season.

    was that a sitter missed by aluko or
    a difficult chance?

    for me that is exactly why he is not PL quality
    any half decent PL forward buries it

    Yeah but he's scored a few sitters so we can forgive him.

    It was a miss. My stream has a delay, I saw your comment before I saw the shot.

    Just thinking back over the season too. If we'd have taken those chances at West Ham away and have beaten Burnley at home we'd be safe. We could also have been out of sight in the first half at WBA too. Fine margins and it takes someone like Llorente, Deeney, Benteke or a partnership of Gray/Vokes to separate the bottom cluster of teams. We have nobody on a par with the aforementioned strikers.

    For me the the main problem is that too many people in football don't believe that every game, even the first, is a must win game.

    Hard to disagree but I think it's equally hard to maintain that level of mental fortitude over a long season. I'm sure from time to time we've all gone to work feeling less than 100%, cruised through the day and got away with it.

    Even if we stay up we won't keep Marco. Next year is very bleak, lose all our management team, all loan players and several players in the last year of their contracts. I honestly think it'll be a struggle for us to stay up again in the championship next year.

    Fair play to Swansea, you have been a little less s**t then we have. Best of luck going forward, I think it may be a long while until we are looking at the premier league again.

    ****ing hell. Every team can look back on what ifs and say how their season could be different. There's swings and roundabouts.

    Sorry, but although I know what you mean , that is just bollocks.

    It isn't one person, it's a highly paid team of players and coaches. Their attitude to each and every game should be exemplary. In no way should they ever consider a game as being an acceptable loss. Anything less than a must win attitude is unacceptable for any of them.

    But if one or 2 of the team are having an off day it can affect the whole.

    What they get paid doesn't matter a jot. The most highly paid employees on earth have off days now and then, some even succumb to mental illness.

    Their attitude to each and every game should be exemplary

    Would be nice but they're fallible human beings not robots.

    In no way should they ever consider a game as being an acceptable loss. Anything less than a must win attitude is unacceptable for any of them.

    I agree.
