I cannot see us getting 8 or 9 pts unless we get the likes of Tomkins,Schlupp and Zaha back in the not too distant future.
We cannot defend - we have conceded 9 in the last 5 games and there could have been many more in our net in those games.
When we are so porous and have forwards like Benteke and Batshuayi there is precious little hope.

We could also still qualify for Europe. But I guess you are suggesting we will lose more than we win. You may be right but I tend to be more optimistic and suggest Fulham have more chance of being relegated than us. COYP

I really believe when all is said and done we will be ok because we know for certain that players will return soon and we can’t really get any worse than we are now. It would be different if we were West Brom and you know they are already at their max.

Amid all the gloom,good to have some hope that all is not lost,although have my doubts all the while Hodgson stays in charge.

We should have enough points the bag - prob only need another five BUT if we lose our next two we're in a relegation battle - the gap is still now 11 points even with Fulham winning. Three narrow in midfield please Roy, no 442 - without Zaha we park the bus and pray.

In my opinion we will lose the next 2 games.
