With the injury list growing we go into Christmas without Gerrard Sturridge and Henderson. We play Spurs away, Cardiff home and then Man City away and Chelsea away. Without getting into arguments about the size of the squad etc. etc. what do you feel is a minimum requirement to stay in the fight for a top 4 place?
Given the players we are left with and the strength of the opposition I think 6 points would be good. 7 fantastic and 8 or above awesome. Always thought this was going to be the turning point in our season but never expected that it would come at a time when key players are missing.
As painful as it sounds we can at least say at the end of December that apart from Man U away we will have played all our major competitors away from home and are looking good at home against almost everyone.
I will be happy with 6 points. How many will you be happy with?
More than 6 would be great and less than 3 will be awful. Would be ok with 5, win Cardiff and 2 draws but I feel we won't get much more than 3. Maybe we'll draw against Spurs
