Will we honestly manage to get enough points to keep us up? I'm pretty sure we won't reach 40 points. Here's my guesstimate.
Man Utd (H) - 0 points
Bournemouth (A) - 0 to 1 points
Liverpool (A) - 0 points
Southampton (H) - 3 points
Tottenham (A) - 0 points
Huddersfield (H) - 3 points
Leicester (A) - 0 to 1 points
Arsenal (A) - 0 points
Everton (A) - 0 to 1 points
West Brom (H) - 3 points
Watford (A) - 0 to 1 points
Chelsea (A) - 0 points
TOTAL: between 9 - 13 points would be my best, most precise guess. Not a very solid point gathering that.
At this point, we need to upset one of the top 5 to stay up. We usually play Spurs pretty well.... ?
For me, our survival depends mainly on how our new signings perform (especially Kenedy and Slimani) and secondly if players like Ritchie can regain form. Diame is doing his bit already.
If nothing changes I don’t expect more than 6 or 7 points.
we've picked up 10 points from the last 8 games losing only to city.
we picked up 14 points from the 1st 9 games despite losing our opening 2 fixtures.
the shame is that in between we had that run, where we only got 1 point from 9 games.
as long as we don't repeat our one bad run of the season, then I see no reason why we won't stay up, 38 points could be enough this season.
the team are pish, but at least they are trying, the last 2 relegations we had good players who couldn't be arsed.
so basically rafa has to pick up 13 points(?) from 12 games but when he got us relegated he got 13 points from last 10 games
8 points from the last games
max points against west brom and huddersfield at home a sneaky point against someone like spuds or scousers and watford away i fancy us getting something
failure to get maximum against west brom or huddersfield will see us go down
Also it coincided with Ritchie’s decline too.
Maybe with some real threat down the left from Kenedy he might rediscover some decent form.
Dunno if I am clutching at straws, but if we only have 1 channel for supply to Slimani opposing teams are gonna cotton on quick and close him down.
We need someone in the middle and someone on the right to offer some kind of threat.
