Having lost three league games on the bounce, and having won only one in six, it's frankly a miracle we're still in the top four.  In the form guide for the last 10 games, we're 18th. 

Something has to change, and our next few games look a bit easier on paper, but we know that at this stage of the season, that means bugger all. 

Chelsea have a couple of tough games coming up, so if we can string a couple of wins together, i'll become a believer again.  We absolutely need to win against West Ham before the International break.  Come back second week in April with Youri back in the squad and we can still do this.

West Ham is huge and their current form is ok, better than ours anyway, though they did get a shoeing at Liverpool a few weeks back.
Something does have to change though, Torres and Maatsen starting would help and Im afraid Ollie really needs to come out of the side.

It maybe doesn’t feel like it, but I think we only have to slightly improve to finish in the top 5.

Chelsea and Liverpool will both drop lots of points before the end of the season. We just need to squeeze a few wins out of our upcoming run of winnable games.

If we get Tielemans and Cash back for that run, and no more injuries to key players, we’ll do it.

The run in is largely kind on paper, & a couple of wins no matter how ugly will do wonders for team confidence.  Glass is half full...

Only because the attackers were trying to fill it and kept missing the glass.

We really need to start trying to win games, rather than try not to lose them.

If we can’t reach Champs League with the sh1t we’re up against in the next 6 games then we fully deserve not to. Time to step things up.

Haven't we just had a run of "easy" games where we were due to pick up loads of points?

Indeed - if we don’t find more attacking spark we won’t do it. The way to deal with “easier” games is have attacking threat and make the opposition fearful. If they don’t think you’ll attack it’ll embolden them.
