There's a lot of talk around at the moment:

 

"Well if we lose all 8 against the big teams and win the rest we'll be happy"

 

Have we given up those games? (just like Carling Cup, FA Cup, Europe)

 

Is it just a 30 game season for us now?

well it maks a change from larging it against the big boys, then getting dicked by the likes of Fulham at home the next time out

I have no issue with losing all games against the top 4 providing we keep winning against the teams competing for the remainder of places

 

And that's what we're doing

 

Why Davies was on the bench though is beyond me

 

We can't play without him

I think the yellow card thing sounds like a plausible reason.

If he would have got a yellow card he would have only missed Sunderland in the cup, don't think that was the reason!

It's the next match is it not if he received one?

No it doesnt.

 

He was missing because Mr Megson thought we would be more "solid" with Muamba and Gardner.

 

6 at the back.

 

Can someone tell him it doesnt work!

Oh I agree, but I'd like to see us compete and they are the kind of games that sell season tickets.

 

+ then we might start giving up against, for example, Villa and City, and then we have to achieve 40 points from 26 games, which starts to get a bit twitchy, which it might do if we were to lose on Sunday.

It's all about knowing your limits

 

I've no problem with Megson resting players, Davies isn't a player who needs resting

 

Bad choice in my opinion

 

But we'll beat Wigan on Sunday

 

So, I'm not arsed about today's result

 

Having said that, I've absolutely no interest in Match of the Day now

It usually is but because of the timing of the booking (christmas) it won't come into effect, the F.A wont process the booking in time for the next match therefore it will be the Sunderland game

Make that a 28 game season (include Villa for the moment).

I'm beginning to feel that way about these games myself - we're not even getting that close. Though to be fair, Megson doesn't sound happy either.

There?s nothing wrong with playing 4-5-1 at Anfield. I'm not a Megson knocker, but the difference between him and Allardyce is the respect we pay to the top teams. Today and against Chelsea and at Villa we have set out to allow the opposition possession in their own half. In the Allardyce era we got results against the top 4 (especially Arsenal) when we pushed on and pressed their back 4. We have the best player in Europe at doing this. He did not start today. Under Allardyce the team was inspired against the top 4 and consequently gained points. Like I say I'm not a Megson knocker - I think he's doing a decent job, but I'm still not inspired as a fan and I don?t think the players inspired to greater things. Allardyce was a one off for Bolton, his achievements were amazing. To do that again would be an outstanding achievement for Megson.

 

Yes I've had 10+ pints

sounds familiar this need 3 points against wigan and resting players

 

 

edit: seems i'm not the only one who remembers wigan away! on well,at leastl top half makes it feel better!

Lee Cattermole was sent of for Wigwam & misses the game.

It's one thing pissing away games against the top 4/5, but you have to make it count against, for example, Wigan.

 

Are we in trouble?

No more so than 3/4 of the league.

 

Winning away is the new winning at home this season. Everyone is at it. Us being mostly shit at home is countered by the fact that we're mostly good away.

 

All of the teams will go through rough times and good ones, this will be us for the next few weeks. We'll be in the bottom three next month, but having played all the top four and with an easier run in.

 

Midtable guaranteed.
