It will be super useful to know when we can save our 100% effort for. "Certainty" where have I stated that? I'm looking at probability, if you don't understand probability try harder in your statistics classes. I'm quite sure that Brendan and his team understand it, far more than you do. That's why they played a weakened side in the FA Cup because the probability showed them that the team were more likely to beat the opposition. Just as my list shows the teams where probability states the games will be more difficult than a mid-table/ relegation fighter at HOME! The average intelligence of a football supporter never ceases to amaze me. Back to not posting I think.

You’re right in what you’ve said at the end but I quote “our last few performances have been far from convincing.” We won 0-3 regardless of whether they played like a Sunday league team What I'm saying is the performance against Newcastle wouldn't render the same result as against Southampton. I don't think we have been convincing against Newcastle, West Ham or Villa. These will be a step up and if we play like we did in any of those three games, we'll loose.

At West Ham, we won away with our second team and would’ve won by more if we had finished our chances. At Newcastle, we battered them for the whole game and were 3-0 winners, calm down. Not so sure it was an overreaction really. West Ham were poor and yes it was a decent result from a second string side. Newcastle had to play almost the entire 2nd half with 10 men so hard to judge really. Our home form is what concerns me. Everton didn't play that well and were lucky to win Watford ok clean sheet and 3 points but they were at the bottom of their form and we laboured in all honesty. Norwich yes they played well but we didn't. Liverpool less said about that the better Villa they had a plan and it almost worked. We looked passive and laboured especially 1st half Today will be very tough. They will really be up for it, are more in form than we are and we seem tired, laboured and to have run out of steam a bit. We have a very difficult February, need 27 more points to probably make top 4. I'd say today is a game we really need to win but not sure we will based on the last lot of home prefomances. Right now I'd take a 1-0 or any form of scrappy win. 1st goal will be very important and we really need to get it.
sishades Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 One thing for sure, we must stop conceding the first goal. It was a habit last season and is proving a bug bear this season.

Came on here though and soon realised all of our players are shit and we're in fact in a relegation dogfight

Fox85 Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 I will not accept anything less than 10-0. As we are at home and all that

Farrington fox Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 I can't put my finger on it, but we're just not that convincing atm especially in the first half of games. Too many chances go begging, we give possession of the ball away far to easily at times. Back in Sept,Oct and into Nov I felt confident we'd win, and most of the time comfortably, and we did! Something has changed. What? Don't get me wrong, this isn't a moan, we're still 2nd for christ sake. But for me, I feel we're going to struggle in the coming weeks to maintain that position.
cstrafe Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 Anyone else read The Athletic's bit on Jamie Vardy? He's a freak.

All teams have a dip in form throughout the season. The good thing is we are not losing games and still getting results. We will be fine
ARM1968 Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 Can see a draw in this or a shithouse defeat. This is the way. They are a different side now and in good form. We aren’t at the level we were. I will pray for us all.

I think probably the deep low block do could see it being a frustrating game for us. 1-0 to us though. I think they’ll press from the start, even on the road. It’s Hassenhutl’s style and lately working well, including in their wins over Spurs and Chelsea. Whether they can do it for 90’ is another matter. We need to keep things tight in the first half, then they may tire and any “payback” emotions will have dissipated.
