    I think 10 more points will be enough given how poor the bottom 3 are.

    Three wins and a draw. Achievable.

    The injuries we've just picked up could relegate us.

    I don't know. Play like we have been in the last few games we can pick points up from those around us.

    Wolves, West Brom, Villa, Fulham.

    E
    even Draws against the four of them would be enough.

    That's the problem we can't play like that because we've lost 3 key players.

    It's all about finding the right players and unfortunately the ingredients have changed in all areas of the pitch, so not only will the level of player decrease, but also its unlikely to yield the same results in terms of the team functioning well with each other

    Of course we can. Stick Gayle up top. He will score.

    Manquillo - Murphy as a wingback.

    Schar - Dummett.

    Gayle can't do anything close to hat Wilson does. Wilson not only fast but has great upper body strength and can get out of tricky situations whereas gayle just floats about poaching opportunities that he'll rarely get.

    Manquillo is extremely fast and a very good defender that tries to get fwd Where's Murphy is a right winger that can't defend and thinks he's Ronaldo.

    Schar is an international captain of the Swiss national side that's can play the ball about whereas d6mmeta a solid defender that's absolutely useless on the ball..

    In short the ingredients of the cake have been altered dramatically and the result will not be the same.

    All three are more than capable.

    Schar has been ****e for most of the season. He also loses his head. Dummett is a more than capable stand in.

    Murphy - has bags of pace and energy. He can defend as shown by some of his performances when asked to stand in. His final ball has improved a lot.

    Gayle - Not Wilson but is capable of scoring goals at this level. It is Gayle or that sack of **** Joelinton.

    They're nowhere near a good, so we will be worse and they're not the same players, so they won't work the same... parts of the engine have been changed and they're not compatible..

    That applies to all sides bar the top 2 or three. We will be fine.

    Strangely, I think we will get something from Man Utd and Wolves. Playing both at the right time.

    Wolves maybe be a point, but we're getting nothing from Chelsea or Manchester..

    Fulham look good.. They'll definitely beat Sheff United and I can see then getting something from Burnley. Might even beat Everton too they look the best team

    Here's a fairly leftfield rumour.

    Al Hilal of Saudi have sacked their manager Razvan Lucescu. Guess who is linked with the job as an interim replacement.

    Rafa Benitez.

    Al Hilal - Favourite club of the Saudi Royal family and Yasser Al Rummayyan has links to them.
