Werner would have been a great fit here.

I reckon he’s underachieved with that group of players this season. They’ve quality all over the pitch and a decent bench too. They should have put it up to City a bit more, especially after battering them a few months ago. 
 

In fairness to him/them though, they’ve bought very well over the last few years. 

Couldn't possibly agree. City, us, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal all should have finished above them. Probably Everton as well.

I reckon we still have a small chance... My predictions nearly always fail, I've still given it a try...

 

With 5 games to go:

 

Leicester 62 pts - South (a), N'castle (h), Utd (a), Chelsea (a), Spurs (h). 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw = 69 pts

Chelsea 58 pts - Fulham (h), City (a), Arsenal (h), Leicester (h) Villa (a). 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss = 66 pts

West H 55 pts - Burnley (a), Everton (h), Brighton (a), WBA (a), South (h). 3 wins, 2 draws = 66 pts

Liverpool 54 pts - Utd (a), South (h), WBA (a), Burnley (a), Palace (h). 4 wins, 1 draw  = 67 pts

 

By the time Chelsea and Leicester face off, we might be better off hoping for a Chelsea collapse... With commitments in both CL and FA Cup they might be vulnerable to it too. The United game at the weekend is probably last chance saloon for us, 0 pts there will make it close to impossible. A win would put us firmly back in it, but even a point could prove vital, the margins are pretty slim as you can see.

 

Edit: I know 4 wins in a row seems impossible with our current form and squandering of chances, but this being our only focus in the coming weeks SHOULD be a help for us.

I’m usually stupidly optimistic, but this season has broken me. Not a hope we get fourth, regardless of how many points Chelsea drop.

Been coming that, great composure from Pulisic.

 

Chelsea all over them.

[3 Stacks]

God, how shit do we look in comparison. 

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, pure shit from Real Madrid so far. Playing three at the back was an odd idea. 

[an tha]

We haven't the balls or spine to grab a top 4 spot even if those above us fall over and open door for us.

 

We are a totally spineless outfit these days sadly.

Very.

 

Chelsea cutting through them with ease.

[Jairzinho]

Not sure about Glenn's insistence that Pulisic came inside the keeper. 

[Jairzinho]

Get Marcelo off for Asensio or Rodrygo and go 433.

Really? They’ve the best balanced XI for me after City (and probably a non-Lampard managed Chelsea) given our injury ravaged, out-of-form shambles. 

Christ, Real look so ordinary.

[Strontium]

Of all the players we've been linked with in recent years who have moved to other clubs, I think Pulisic is the one I most regret us not getting.

 

Even if he does insist on mispronouncing his own name as Pool o' sick.

If he was able to stay fit he'd be an absolute superstar.

First team to win the league in 30 years! Had a cunt of a season with little or no luck, with not enough to overcome the loss of form. They are far from 'spineless'.

Chelsea would have pounded us anyway. Saved us the embarrassment of losing a CL semi to an English team.

Some cunt has stuck new batteries in Hoddle tonight.

It's a decent balanced squad but basically everyone bar City from "the big 6" has hugely underachieved. We're about 30 points off where we should be. About 15 even taking into account the injuries. 

 

Arsenal start the season with Pepe,  Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang, and Martinelli and they've scored 46 goals in 33 games. 

 

Etc. 

 

Leicester and West Ham have picked up the pieces, but when next season starts their expectations should be 7th - 10th.

[johnsusername]

Chelsea are going to win the European cup aren't they. Fucking hell.

They are the very definition of spineless and you'll note i said 'these days'

 

They were spinless in the derby return after what happened in first one, meekly and timidly lay down and allowed Everton to bully us after everything that happened at the pit, not one of them was up for it or showed some spite and fight against those rats after what they did to us....and they've been spineless time and time again this season - embarrassing result after embarrassing result, setback after setback and rarely if ever a reaction, or a performance that shows their pride is hurt or they are hungry to set record straight.

 

I reckon too many of them have sat looking at their medals from previous season and basking in the glow and lost the edge, drive and backbone that made them winners.

[Edward.]

At this precise moment Clinton Morrison is a cunt.

[El Rojo]

What a finish. Brilliant. 

[dandyman]

Cracking striker that Benzema fella

[Elite]

Great finish. Game on.

 

 

[3 Stacks]

Benzema is fucking amazing. 

[Strontium]

Oh, to have a striker like Benzema. We would have 99 points this season.
