I think we should just concentrate on the cups. Would anyone take 7th place and a League Cup / FA Cup win?
No, would rather have Arsenals 4th place trophy this year. Consistent CL qualification is more important at the moment, prove you can get CL every year and the best players will want to join. Until then we'll always have a question mark over us for the top players. Cups should come once we have that consistency of top 4.
You've averaged 1 point per game in the 8 league games he's missed. 8 from 24. As opposed to 6 from 9 when he was fit at the start of the season. So given the stats 4th would appear to be a pipe dream, unless you have dramatic change of form in the next 8 league games that he's likely to miss.
Long old season Tobes,long old season. Lots of things will dictate weather we will finish in the top four,this is just one of them
By the time he gets back you'll have likely played 22 games i.e. 60% of the long old season mate, and at your current run rate minus Sturridge would have 22 points..............
It's not just Sturridge. It's the sheer lack of movement in the danger areas. Too static in the final third, starting with Henderson and the fullbacks actually. And let's not pin that purely on Balotelli, who's supposed to be a foil fielded as lone striker anyway. Foil for what though? Tumbleweeds? The combinations in the final third are dire, scarce and predictable. Lots of work required.
Due to the craptacular start from all our rivals- 4th is still very possible despite our poor start. We just need to get on the ball before they do.
I didn't say it wasn't possible mate, just that now you're going to be without your main man for another 8 games, you're going to have to have a real turn around in form during that period, if you're going to stand any chance
I think we should just start bribing refs.... C'mon lads heroine Sinclair can play let's not all like get all down n stuff k? #mtv fn drama queens
If everyone else started to gel we might not need Daniel Glassridge! So far the team has performed below the sum of the parts. We've got players on paper pretty decent- but they've been absolute dross.
I dont want you all to get excited yet, but I have a feeling. I dont get these feelings very often, but I have one now. I dont know what is going to happen after the Palace game, but this one is going to be a good one for us. I have a 4-0 in mind with Coutinho and Lallana both getting goals. I usually trust my feelings, but I have put on a lot of weight recently and this could just be the early stages of some form of heart ailment
