But if we stay up, and I think there is more than 50 per cent chance of that, than I struggle to see how we will finish top ten next season unless Lambert makes a serious attempt at shoring up our defence. That is something he has struggled to do so far in his managerial career.Fair comment, i think a defensive coach would be a godsend, after all Wengers got one in Steve Bould, and if its good enough for him.......

Playing our next two games on Monday nights isn't bloody well helping either. Wish we'd tell Sky to do one.
Given the amount of doom and gloom that was about in January and February, should we not be far more optimistic than we are?. If we avoid the drop, which, thankfully is still in our own hands, we have a crop of young players who are definitely improving by the game, a youth team who have just been crowned kings of Europe, we play a brand of Football which is beginning to attract some very favourable attention in the press, and the financial re-structuring of the club may actually put us ahead of many other clubs in the financial markets. We have 2 Strikers in Benteke and Weimann who are worth 30 million of anybodies money. I honestly think if we beat the drop, keep Benteke and strenghthen the Defence, next season could be very interesting.
