    Not bad, not great.
    Wins against Cardiff, Hull and Stoke (tough but doable) and at least one point vs Spurs, Chelsea and City should be achievable.

    Not many easy games but if we want to get into top 4 we will need to step up.

      It should be, but it's been a season of many shocks and surprises. We always back ourselves to beat the smaller teams at home but every team drops points from time-to-time.

      I expect us to get a win and a draw against two from Chelsea, Spurs and City. Then say seven points from Cardiff, Hull and Stoke... yeah... gives us eleven points. Eleven points is reasonable and what I'd expect.

      I'd be a lot more confident if we weren't missing Sturridge, Gerrard and potentially Henderson.

        This. We need to stop doubting our team and expect them to step up. Rodgers will demand it and the fans will demand it. We can't hope to improve and compete with the likes of City, Chelsea and Arsenal if we don't go for the win.

          This thread has been bumped again so we are definitely losing to Spurs.

            That's clearly the only determining factor to how a football match in London finishes - if a thread on a forum hosted in Wales have been bumped or not

              Let's not be hasty. It's that and whether Shaggy's going.

                Or John Doe being overly optimistic.
                Are we winning?

                  The fact remains that we don't win after these threads have been started/bumped. Swansea first, then Arsenal and now Totteham

                    Aston Villa - United
                    Going roughly by the book but there will unexpected results. I think we'll be in the top four after this run but Chelsea will be leading the table IMO.
                    The surprises here are how poorly United and Chelsea have done. Arsenal win the games they are supposed to, bit like us most of the times.

                        I'd take 12 points now if it was offered. A two out of three average during a tough period would be great and I'd then be very confident of a top four finish. 9 points wouldn't be the end of the world. Any less and we'd be right off the pace after such a great start.

                        Wins against Cardiff and the likes are a must, especially at home. The three tough away games v Spurs, Chavs & City will tell us if we can push for the title, but defeats wouldn't mean we can't finish top 4.

                        Not dropping points to Spurs would be a massive result though. If we can make it to January still ahead of Spurs & United, & within touching distance of Everton, I think 4th is right there for us. After then it's only Southampton & Man Utd of the teams doing well who we have to play away. All the rest are home games.
