Several posters pinning all out hopes on Southampton away tomorrow evening, lose and the end is near.

It's only January.

Southampton winning will not determine our fate.

Quite right.
Dont like our run in much, but I wish people were a bit more upbeat, new signings, no injuries, still in the cup, not in the bottom 3 and we are a decent side, I agree about mental attitude and PL experience, it plays a big part as the season goes on, but its not that bad, loads of games left, right down to the wire for me.

Stoke should get at least a point at home to Watford so defeat tomorrow puts us in bottom 3 and by more than 2 goals bottom 2. Are we the only team that respects and worries about the big 6.

2-0 would put us bottom 2, behind Swansea on goals scored.

I know we tend to defend against top 6 teams, but if we play the way Huddersfield are tonight at home I would probably give up, I can only think they are happy to lose 2-0 rather than 5 or 6, they really have hardly touched the ball.
Now a pen to Liverpool.
This is shocking stuff from Huddersfield, their signing from Monaco must be wondering what he has gone and done.

After we went 1-3 down to Liverpool, I thought we should have shut up shop (if we could) to avoid conceding the fourth. It came too quickly though.

Points must be harvested soon, April and May look a little daunting apart from the apparently inevitable FA Cup Final.

I do agree. Wins in Feb and March are vital.

Transfers - still hope the club bring in attacking CM with pace or RW, of quality. The elation TB showed after the Wigan game said it all, after 34 years the return and TB/PB I believe thought we were in the PL to stay. Minds will be focused.

Yes.
But I dont know if you are watching the game but we were not as bad and outclassed as Huddersfield are tonight. They just have not bothered at all, at least we try while being outclassed.

Yes, I watched it all on BT.

Hudd were simply outclassed. Liverpool upped the ante after 2 losses, all their players turned up, against essentially a very good Championship team.

Did you watch Brighton in those games? We chased shadows and were out fought in every position. Backs to the wall Alamo defending was the only plus point in a couple of the matches.

Arsenal were dreadful, repeatedly trying to thread through the eye of a needle around Swansea's box and repeatedly failing. The countless number of square passes would put Stephens to shame. Swansea were solid at the back, worked unbelievably hard, counter attacked well and had that bit of luck. Most telling will be their result at Leicester on Saturday, expecting them to get stuffed.

Goes to show the importance of not selling your best player. Liverpool and Arsenal sold theirs and got beaten by a very poor Swansea team in the following match.

We have been a better team than Swansea all season and have just strengthened further, we will not be below them at the end of the season.

Not with Mahrez leaving and causing turmoil I fear. 1-0 Swans.
