We will be getting more training time, Amorim will likely start to field a similar XI more and more, we've played the best 3 teams away and had 49.7% possession at Arsenal, 48.2% possession at City, and 47.2% possession at Liverpool. If the players aren't buying into Amorim's approach then they won't buy into anyone's approach. We had 30 minutes against Arsenal where we looked really comfortable, we won at City and went toe to toe with Liverpool despite the huge differences in how we're faring this season.

I think we'll get at least 15 points from these fixtures.

Anything above 15 points would be amazing.

Ultimately, a good opportunity to develop some momentum.
 
Be interesting to see how we play against Arsenal.

If we get another positive performance regardless of the result then I think we might have turned a corner.

Less games and more time to prepare for games can only be a good thing, throw in a couple of signings and we could very well finish the season strongly.
 
Last time such thread was made, how many games did we lose? Such threads really jinx our team.
 
We have very nice fixtures to evaluate our team and to give us a very good idea where we stand.we can also determine if Liverpool performance is a one-off or not.
 
I'm expecting our usual mixed results, lack of consistency so:

Southampton (H) - W
Brighton (H) - T
Fulham (A) - W
Palace (H) - W
Spurs (A) - L
Everton (A) - T
Ipswich (H) - W

13-14 points, depending on if we lose to everton away

The results couldn’t matter less. Performances need to improve across multiple games. We can’t even win consecutive games so no point discussing future hypothetical results.

i mean at this point we are veering into where results sure as hell do matter. Ipswich and Liecester dont look terrible, and could easily make things interesting if we struggle to get results these next couple of matches. Overall yes, performances being good should mean results being good, but we have to make sure we are getting both at this point.
 
If we play like we have all season and don't get any new players in January:

Southampton (H) w
Brighton (H) d
Fulham (A) d
Palace (H) d
Spurs (A) l
Everton (A) d
Ipswich (H) w

10 points

If we play like we did v Liverpool and get a specialist lwb and decent striker in January:

Southampton (H) w
Brighton (H) d
Fulham (A) d
Palace (H) w
Spurs (A) d
Everton (A) w
Ipswich (H) w

15 points
 
This run is an opportunity we cannot let go.
4 of the opponents are below us in the table and struggling.
If we can’t beat at least 3 of them, there’s not much hope of crawling our way into the top half of the table.

Spurs are only one point above us and have lost one game more and conceded more goals.
Their form has been just as erratic as ours, but they’ve scored almost double the number of goals than us.
In fact they’re the 2nd highest scoring team in the PL after Liverpool.
Hard to call.
Today I’d say a loss, but we have several games to play before we go to WHL.
Amorim might finally be getting a tune out of this lot by then.

12 points.
Anything higher and we’re on the right path.

Southampton is on 17th Jan, Brighton is on 19th Jan. Cannot start the same eleven with a span of one day in between. Who even makes these ridiculous schedules??
 
We’re an injury or ban away from being shite all over again. With a full squad to pick from in every game I’d fancy us to get 15+ points. If Ugarte, Dalot, Max, Bruno or Mainoo get injured then all bets are off. You could maybe add Hojlund to that list too. We’ve a big squad but it’s somehow still paper thin.
