We are so infuriatingly inconsistent, as the last two performances have shown. We are absolutely capable of getting seven points from the next five games, yet at the same time equally capable of only managing two or three. And that’s equally true of most of the teams in the whole of the bottom half.Predictions....not confident predictions! 😬 think making predictions on points isn’t much different to most of the conversations on various threads discussing our imminent relegation or otherwiseOh, I get that. And it would be a boring thread/forum if people couldn’t or didn’t discuss that. Was just making a more broad point about our inconsistency in terms of both results and, more so, our performances really. The Liverpool game apart, looking at them individually, I genuinely believe we can win any of our remaining fixtures, yet I won’t really be surprised at any of the ones we inevitably lose. We are one of several weird teams like that.

You have more confidence than me after the poor effort in a six pointer game.
It's really surprised me, in a bad way, just how bad we've been defensively this year. I think this is mostly down to the lack of cover from our midfield, which tends to get overrun in most matches.

I think you can only play one and i think it has ti be nakamba.Unless he rrverts to two at the back and puts either conor/lansbury/drinkwater with luiz and nakamba
