I can’t see how they stop up at all. I don’t thing they can sign a whole new squad in January and Callum Wilson apart they are a mid table championship side. Going down will cause them all sorts of FFP problems unless they choose to ignore it. Leeds are another interesting one. I thought last season they were a really poor side (raphina aside) that ran around a lot and beat sides that wouldn’t match the work rate. This season they seem to be running less and with far less intensity, almost looks like beilsa is loosing the dressing room a bit. So with that being said I think they might be in trouble not that sky would ever say that because they seem to think they are everybody’s second favourite side for sone reason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can add a few more to that list. Burnley, Southampton and Brentford who may have 16 points but were really poor yesterday and a better team would have smashed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Bielsa always tires his players out. He likes young players as they will run all day and not complain. In the premier you have to have more than one way of playing. I think thats what he is doing now and finding out that the only skillset they have that is better than alot of others is to run quickly and not stop running quickly. Passing , defending, shooting are all quite low level in reality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Theres no midtable teams any more . You have the big 3 , then the fairly large 9 who all realistically want European football and then the bottom 8 . Newcastle will go for sure though.

ciggiesnbeer Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Great result tonight against two relegation rivals. Hopefully it will knock some of the new Smith confidence out of Norwich and further cement the "mission impossible" narrative for Newcastle.

villa4europe Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I don't see how you watch Newcastle and Norwich and think we're relegation rivals, we're nowhere near that bad, not even close We'll finish 10 odd points clear Edited November 30, 2021 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so as well. But I will never take our PL status for granted ever again so I am gonna stress until we are well clear of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Everyone from Brighton down is a potential relegation candidate IMO, although the main ones besides Norwich and Newcastle are definitely Burnley, Watford and Southampton. We were in real danger of being sucked into a proper relegation dogfight after the Southampton game but Gerrard's two wins have helped massively. We'll be fine.

Peter Griffin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Newcastle, Norwich, Watford are my favourites for the drop. Burnley have proven year after year that they can grind out results and they are doing so this year too and they do have some games in hand over those at the bottom. I think Leeds are simply too strong to go down. The brand of football Bielsa plays will also get them a good few wins, lots of losses too but the wins should be enough to see them safe. Saints and Everton are fluttering with a relegation scrap but, again I think they will be too strong to go down. Brentford and Palace may get dragged into the battle and particularly Brentford, they will be in the mix come April / May imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
