We could easily lose both our next two or draw/win vice versa. If Newcastle win and United too it will be a real struggle to even stay in the top 6 without consistency.

Let's see some realism. No-one can say Everton will fall away and United at full strength will be losing very few on the home straight if at all. Spurs continue to improve as players understand each other better and confidence in the manager continues to climb.

Have a feeling we've blown it. After giving BR the green light in his formational know-how recently he has shown that he has much still to learn tactically. Those defeats at Christmas and the setup being plain wrong against Villa first half may have given us too much to do with the thread bare nature of the squad available going forward.

Just looks like being a right messy scrap that we are ill equipped to deal with.

Exactly my thoughts gonna struggle top get top 6 this season and it doesnt look like any signings are coming in so its adios to suarez in the summer and back to square one.

The worrying thing is looking at all BR's signings and realising very few have paid off.
Is this BR's fault, or is he too restricted?

It's clear 'Moneyball' doesn't work in football & if they don't spend in the next 2 weeks and we miss out on top 4, the future's pretty bleak.

There's exceptions of course, but £7m buys you a mid-table player, not a top 4 player. It's pretty much simple as that.

If a manager walks it means no payoff.

Got to admire Martinez though. He didn't take the job with s because he could see it all happening.

Should Rodgers walk? Hmmmm, for me the owners should invest (properly) before Rodgers walk.
I don’t think Rodgers should be made to walk (sacked). I mean he should walk of his on violation, if FSG continue to implement the current silly recruitment policy.
I fully agree the owners should invest properly, they’ve had long enough now to see the foolishness of trying to make top 4 (if that’s their objective?) with cheapie youngsters, loanees and freebies.

It's easy to say now but we should have done everything in our power to get Costa or makhitiryan (spelling) but our most pressing issue now is sorting out DM, we can't make top 4 if we concede stupid goals every game. I feels like a long time ago when we kept three clean sheets in a row.

I see United finishing strongly if Van Persie returns. Spurs are a definite threat based on their recent form and player confidence and Everton are solid and consistent.

Our current first team is lacking in confidence, basic team work and technical ability.

If Suarez gets injured we are screwed.
if we cant pick up the team work and confidence we will not finish higher than Everton and Spurs.
