Time for this. We are in the bottom 3 and probably not getting out any time soon. Southampton look like Kompany's Burnley and will likely suffer the same fate, but Leicester and Ipswich both look like they have more fight in them than last year's relegation fodder.
I still don't think we are going down, but do still think 15th is our ceiling and relegation is certainly possible. Not being clinical up front and conceding awful goals at the back is a recipe for a relegation battle. An average PL team would have seen the game out today and I'm not having the first being a fluke goal, defend as deep as we did and you are inviting it.
We have a middle 3rd midfield and forward line, a bottom 5 defence and a manager whose in game management is woeful. We need the first two to mitigate the issues of the latter two to stay up
