Next 10 PL Games

[dom9]

One game at a time folks lets not get carried away with ourselfs just yet

[PTP]

That's a very friendly run of games, Portsmouth home will be tricky and maybe Blackburn away but if we get a minimum of 25 points from the next 10 games and don't lose to Chelsea we'll be right in the mix.

see you would think blackburn away would be tricky but they were dire against the mancs! - knowing our luck they will have iimproved for us haha but unless its 100% improvement we should beat them

Portsmouth home could be tricky, but again if we want to be in the mix we should beat them at home

if we got through those games with a minimum of say 7 wins 2 draws and a loss - 23 points, minimum!! then we will be well in the mix

we would be

p----w---d-----l------pts
17--12---4-----1------40


if you repeat that again in the second half the season, 80pts with 4 other games to play! - big big big ask like, we are going to need a lot of hard work, determination and luck!

A lot will depend on what we get from Chelsea away and Arsenal away in December.

We'll still have to go to Man Utd in the 2nd half of the season, but we'll have Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton at home. If we can somehow take 3 points from either Chelsea or Man Utd away, and do the business at home, we'll be very close to winning the title (assuming we beat most of the lesser sides).

Even 2 points from those two away games would be alright.

Beating Man Utd and winning at places like Everton, Sunderland and City will stand us in good stead hopefully.

We have a great chance of putting a run together now and staying around 1st/2nd, as apart from the Chelsea game, all the other games are very winnable ........

Wigan H
Chelsea A
Portsmouth H
Tottenham A
West Brom H
Bolton A
Fulham H
West Ham H
Blackburn A
Hull H

We then go to Arsenal away on 21st Dec and will probably have Skrtel back. If we're out of the race by then, we only have ourselves to blame.

I think we'll take 18-20 points from the above games. If we take 24+ points and beat Chelsea (away) we'll probably go on to win the league.

I dont see why we can not aim for that. The Cheslki game is usually a bogey one for us, but we have to break that hoodoo some day dont we.

Rumour has it that Rafa was thinking about getting Bruno Cheyrou on loan just for the Chelsea match....

But the deal fell through at the last minute as he (Cheyrou) still wanted to be
known as 'the next Zidane'

People seem to forget where we struggle, at home against an inferior side parking the bus in their half. Every game is winnable but that doesn't mean we're going to win all of them. We will need to hit top form to do that and start breaking teams down and destroying them at Anfield.

in games where the opposition at least try to attack now and again we have as good a chance as anyone. its when they come defending ala city last year or stoke this year.

i do think that better set pieces and the width of riera will help counter the park a bus approach.

we've always had workrate, its now time for a bit of guile and killer instinct. how many times in previous years have we wasted chance after chance only to drop points through the one attack of the opposition? this happened at stoke this year for instance. also until very recently our corners have got to have been the worst in the league.

we also struggle in the pl against fat head bruce

[nbryan1764]

of those 10...2 down, 8 to go!!! All winnable, please let it happen

[magicalbarnes]

of those 10...2 down, 8 to go!!! All winnable, please let it happen

A win tonight will really put the cat among the pigeons, particularly if any of the other 3 teams drop points. Arsenal and Chelsea have tough tests.

looking at hull's fixtures until we meet, i don't think they will be near the top of the league at that point:

Hull v Chelsea
Man Utd v Hull
Hull v Bolton
Hull v Man City
Portsmouth v Hull
Stoke v Hull
Hull v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v Hull

Really

They DO have two easy games at first, but maybe the likes of Bolton and Stoke will be too hard to handle, I think you may be right

aye - great start by hull and good luck to them, they dersever to stay up on their start alone, but once the buble bursts they might easily go on a run of 5 defeats.
