[Albion] Premier League 30/1 - 31/1

[Weststander]

Goes to show the importance of not selling your best player. Liverpool and Arsenal sold theirs and got beaten by a very poor Swansea team in the following match.

We have been a better team than Swansea all season and have just strengthened further, we will not be below them at the end of the season.

I agree with you that fatal to sell the best player, but Liverpool beat ManC after Coutinho was sold.

Several posters pinning all our hopes on Southampton away tomorrow evening, lose and the end is near.

It's only January.

Southampton winning will not determine our fate.

may be only January but we've only got 13 games left after tomorrow, they're gonna run out pretty quick especially with the run in we have.

After we went 1-3 down to Liverpool, I thought we should have shut up shop (if we could) to avoid conceding the fourth. It came too quickly though.

What are you on about? Liverpool scored their 3rd in the 48th min, this put them 3-0 up, we pulled one back 3 mins later. Liverpool didn’t score their 4th until the 87th min. I don’t think a gap of 30 mins plus can be described as happening too quickly.

Not with Mahrez leaving and causing turmoil I fear. 1-0 Swans.

Sanchez's absence certainly favoured Swansea, hoping they don't get another rub of the green

Arsenal are shithouse.

Unbelievable. When losing against top 6 sides, most said it's the games against the other teams that will decide our fate. It's starting to look like we were wrong.

Palace at 11s? Wow that's big. All it takes is Zaha to get injured/transferred and they're screwed.

 

[North Stand Cat]

I think the three promoted teams look most vulnerable for the drop at present.
At least a point tomorrow please lads!

I genuinely wasn't one of the most.

I think a lot of Albion fans must have always tuned out of the PL, until we made it there.

Palace and Bmuff to name just 2, have had several wins against top 6 teams in recent seasons, which effectively kept them up.

To rely entirely on games against the other 13 clubs narrows chances of getting vital points.

I'm beginning to think that less than three will be a problem.

Time has been running out ever since, well the beginning of time....

Your a pretty negative poster aren’t you.

Bollocks Salah is Liverpools best player and Arsenal held on to Sanchez as long as they could despite everyone crying that they should have sold him in the summer otherwise they are throwing away millions etc etc headed up by MOTD. Arsenal also managed to lose to bottom half teams WITH Sanchez it isnt like it has made much difference. Sanchez is a talent that cant be denied but he is needy and not only in a massive salary way he has to be the centre of your team and that is not always a positive.

We still lost to Huddersfield and WBA recently so I dont think so. We just have to make sure we get the points where we can and that there are still 3 teams below us the same as every other team is doing.

I don't think that's the reason.

It's not that people thought we should rely on games against the other 13 clubs, just that it was most likely that's where our points would come from (which has proven correct). Our recent performances away to West Brom and Huddersfield haven't helped. But while many thought it would be our games against the other 13 that mattered most, I guess most didn't expect us to be the only club to get 0 points against the top 6. It's not over yet, but it's not looking good.

 

[Triggaaar]

Indeed those results play a part, but if we go down by a small margin, having got nothing off of the top 6 sides, surely we'll have to look at those games as a large part of the problem?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

We need min of 4 points from next 2, defeat tomorrow and wins for Stoke and Swansea and we'd be awash on a sea of wet beds Thursday morning.

Part 1 - done

 

[Nathan]

No getting away from the fact that the Swansea result is not great for us, but if we are going to stay up we need to be winning our own games, not worrying about everyone else. 3 points tonight would be a fantastic start to this run of 'easier' games, but a point would still be decent tonight.

I always thought we'd lose all 6. Anything other than that would be a pleasant surprise to me.

I looked forward to the other 26 games, as we had a chance.

Draw tomorrow and I'm confident we can do west ham with all their injuries.

Feeling bizarrely positive for once

I agree.

Loads of half arsed bollocks being spouted on this thread IMO.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I agree.

Loads of half arsed bollocks being spouted on this thread IMO.

So, should we get less than 4 points from the next 2 games, would you then have any concerns?
