This. We need better impact players, no wonder people leave early at St Mary's. It'll go down to the last game, yes, but I think we'll come 16th. Predicting draws against Sunderland and Stoke, will 41 points be enough?

Well Norwich would have to avoid defeat at the Etihad, and Newcastle likewise at home to Arsenal, for 41 (with our GD) to not be enough.
 
I'm surprised how well we did without Morgan. We play like that away at Sunderland and we'll be fine, I am really concerned that we are scoring Zero goals at the moment though.

We don't have enough goal scorers in the team. Ricky and Punch have scored their fair share and Rodriguez has picked up recently. The likes of Lallana, Ramirez, Guly, Mayuka need to be scoring more.
 
May I just say, Lambert has been pony once again.

Been thinking this for a while. We struggle as well when he doesn't score goals....(obviously). He just doesn't feel like a threat at the moment, and his lack of pace was really exposed today. Saying that, the team as a whole didn't do a whole lot wrong today......
 
People need to stop dismissing relegation, If we get beaten by Sunderland next week then we'll be in huge trouble.
 
The WBA result was a blip, in the sense that WBA have been average in the second half of the season. Lose Lukaku and they'll be in the mix next season.
 
Interesting that BBC have us down as only having 42% of the possession. I find that strange as I thought we dominated possession for most of the game.
 
I have to say I didn't expect Wigan to win today, West Brom were very good against us last week.

Clark didn't take the game too seriously. His subs were not just bizarre, but almost damaging. Hope he got paid okay.
Not the same hungry team I saw last week. The prick.
 
thought we were excellent today, I don't really care about what other teams are doing as I have every confidence in this team. Without morgan we were pretty decent in midfield. Fonte was very good today as was hooiveld. Clyne was incredible. I genuinely thought everyone was good today, shame we couldn't score, we hit the post had a point blank header and clyne had a good one on one, and lallana got in some positions that another player would have been able to shoot from. We will score a few in our next 2 games if we plaued like we did today.

Clyne mom

Not in huge trouble, no. We'd be in a slightly more precarious situation, but only if absolutely everything goes against us.

Bale was 'pants' today until he scored an amazing goal. Remember Lambert came closest to scoring.
 
Aside from actually creating chances (a massive part of the game, I accept), I thought we played really well. Play like that in our final two games and we will be absolutely fine.

If Stoke win on Monday night, then a draw next weekend should be enough for us. Would force Sunderland to have to win at White Hart Lane if they were to have any chance of catching us. And that's without mentioning Wigan, Newcastle and Norwich.
