We don't know that. Cucurella might think that though judging by the reception we gave him.
If we know Pervis is off in the summer I would do it, certainly. But otherwise he'd be too expensive for a back up.
We have had a kind run of fixtures in the league though, 9 at home 7 away, 6 of the home games against bottom-half sides including the bottom 3. It only gets harder from here and opportunities to pick up easy points not taken.
They're only an extra two games if we win in February, otherwise its the same number of games.
Personally would have put a bit more emphasis on the Burnley game, rest the lot for the Arsenal game if he wants as its likely a hiding to nothing anyway.
The avoiding relegation talk shouldn't be dismisssed out of hand. Yes, its far fetched, and yes, the 5 wins from the first 6 games will keep us up, but the 11 points from 10 games since is definitely bottom 5 form over a season and until we get players back from injury is there much to...
But the reason we can all remember the Henry handball goal is that it was so rare. I remember saying this when VAR was first brought in - we all want it for the complete howlers but they're relatively rare. What is far more common is 1 inch offsides, debatable fouls and questionable handballs...
The best model is one that pursues all opportunities where they arise, rather than being prescriptive. If we only signed teenagers and developed them through u23s and loans we wouldn't have Pedro, Igor or Estupinan. If we only signed young players we wouldn't have Lallana, Veltman or Welbeck...
Was it what we we were demanding? I thought the Potter years got hugely better once we stopped conceding stupid goals - that's what i was demanding, to stop shipping goals on the counter. Those last six months of GP had attacking flair and not many going in, it had finally got the right...
We should be beating teans in the bottom 3 at home yes. I think I've said that every single season I've been supporting brighton, which is more than 40 now. I think everyone says that. So no 'beginning to sound like we should be beating teams like...', it's old as time.
I'll say this for the article, bringing back Boris probably IS the only way the Tories can avoid carnage in the election.
And I would love the chance to vote him out of power, I feel that has been cruelly denied me.
On one hand I'm saying to myself that we are doing amazingly well to even be top half with the players available - if you told us last season we would play most of this season without MacAllister, Caicedo, Colwill, March, Enciso, Estupinan, Welbeck, Webster you'd probably just want to stay in...
He's done little to shake off the impression that he's just Davy Propper 2.0
Clearly has certain skills though, I just don't know what RDZ is doing crafting a midfield out of Dahoud and Lallana. Looked like it was going to be as passive as it ended up being.
