We've played games which are dead rubbers.
We all wrote this season restart off when talking about Liverpool - teams won't be up for it; no fitness; water breaks; no crowds. these have been exhibition matches. it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't make top 4 next season. funny how we've played down the restart when it suited us, but now we're using it as a marker for next season. these are pre-season friendlies in all but name. |

if we got a couple of defensive midfielders and a centre-half.... fine. no use judging us when we're not under any pressure, though. at the moment, we are lulling ourselves into a false sense of security (maguire, lindelof and de gea are doing their bit to keep it real). should have beaten spurs. |

These are strange times in football but l can't see us challenging for the league next season.
We still lack consistency that will result in us dropping unnecessary points. Top 3 would be excellent progress and some decent results against Citeh and the scousers would be a good season. I think getting in the CL will help attract the players Ole wants and he has a philosophy and sense of direction that is now clear to see His biggest quality ? Mental strength. He has had some nightmare days in the job and held his nerve, knowing what needed to change and rarely bleated to the media about how difficult everything is. Mou and LvG at times cracked with the expectation pointing the finger elsewhere for their own errors of judgement. Ole is no bullshitter. |

2 were against teams competing with us for a European place. Drawn 1, Won 1. 2 were against teams fighting relegation. Won 2. Hardly dead rubbers. Altho we do have some of those coming up (S'hampton & Palace). As for competing for the league, next season, no. The season after that, with the right signings between now & then? Yes, I think so. |

but weren't we saying the game had changed with 5 subs and water breaks when liverpool were winning the league? |
