Worth noting that we have the worst goal difference outside the bottom three - and there are two teams level on points with us that have better goal difference. At the end of the day, goal difference is worth a point at most - but it could also be the difference between safety and relegation.
My main concern with GD is every year, if you look at the table, there's always one or two sides who don't seem to be in any danger who eventually get sucked right in and relegated. The common theme amongst these clubs is their goal difference always contradicts their league position. It's why I think we always achieved safety under Benitez, as our GD even in the bottom three was often better than at least 6 other clubs. This year, it's the opposite - league pos looks ok, but GD is utter crap. It's a big concern right now, but if we can keep it a bit tighter at home and stop being so bad away we should be fine.
1-0 to the saints and as it stands Everton are in the bottom three. I am seriously thinking they are this year's surprise relegation. They remind me a lot of us circa 08.
I have zero confidence in Chelsea honestly. They're dodgy. Norwich are relegated alongside Watford in my opinion, no point in hoping for some miraculous revival. And Everton just lost their derby 17 mins in, you think Van Dijk is gonna let them score 2 goals?
everton now have -10 goal difference ours is -9 and we are 2 points ahead of them , so I hope they concede 5 or 6.
I think 18th is between us, Southampton, brighton , everton burnley and Bournemouth … villa, west ham will pull away
Chelsea go ahead, nice one. Norwich could be 4-0 down to ****ing Southampton here. And right now, West Ham looking pretty flat. Bournemouth have been utter dog these past few weeks, they looked absolutely lifeless against Palace. 1-0 to Leicester, so the bottom two teams are in some major trouble. Notice you didn't mention Everton there, you think they'll be pulling away? Could be a lot of points adrift in a months time mate.
Just for some context here, Everton have lost against both Norwich and Southampton in their past two games, have a worse GD than us and are now in the bottom three with one of the toughest fixture lists in the coming weeks. I'm just saying, they're ****ed.
they still have Chelsea and man united in there next two games so hopefully they will lose both and we win get 4 to 9 points from ours and we will be in a good position..
Norwich get oen back come on if they can get a draw it will have been a brilliant nights results for us
The reality is, they've just got a ****ing **** squad. Everyone gags on them like it's a fresh blast of vanilla flavoured cum in the mouth cos they've got a bit of cash in their pockets. was gonna say the same, right now things are looking great. If we can get something against Sheff it will be ****ing golden.
