Anyone starting to get worried?

[Scovilla]

Worried? Nah

[Risso]

It was more likely than Taylor!

[Diablo]

With Manchester United and Spurs looking likely to fill two of the three relegation places I reckon we will be fine.
 

Haha! If only.

[London Villan]

Won as many games now as we did in the season went down...

Well yeah but if more likely to score than Taylor is your bar then most of this forum probably come above him.

I still think there's a strong chance of us being in the scrap come the final months of the season, so wins like today are really really important with the long-term in view. In the short term, we've got very tough run of games coming up now, so it was absolutely vital that a possible 2-3 consecutive defeats/winless games didn't become 3-4. We won't be in the relegation zone after the next round of fixtures barring a small mathematical miracle, and that's good to know.

Yes I'n worried that the shite VAR may cost us a top six finish!!

I think there will be half the division still in the scrap come the last few games. A lot of teams you would see in it look decent and nobody looks rank bad.

But I believe we will improve, and we have Grealish who is as good if not better than anyone outside the top two, and McGinn.

One thing I like about us under Dean Smith is that we never give up.

[Richard E]

Think we could still do with getting another striker in during the January window.

I think Kodjia could play a part still but otherwise, I agree.

[olaftab]

If we can hold a mid table position by the time we have played Chelsea away we will  be comfortable. However if, as it is likely, we are 16th or lower then we will be involved in the relegation scrap all season.
36 points will be enough  and we need 25 from 29 games. Surely that's do able?

[PeterWithesShin]

Win the next 2 league games, and the title is as good as ours. Guilbert with a back heel to Grealish who dummies a pass before playing it perfectly through to McGinn bursting through from midfield to slot it past the keeper and wrap up the game in front of a rammed Holte as we show Liverpool who truly are the best now.

Agree with this. With every team below Liverpool looking fallible and all the bottom teams being capable of good performances/games I think it could be over of those where the league is tight all the way down and a high total is needed to be out of the shit.

[paul_e]

There's still teams with less than a point per game though so 35-36 will probably be about the level, which isn't all that unusual, I suspect a few teams will find some consistency through the middle of the season and
 going into the last 7-8 it will be 1-2 that look fucked and 4-5 others in the battle, so long as we don't look like we're getting drawn into that then it'll have been a good season.
