We’ve turned the corner, played well in the last 3 games against tough opposition and are unlucky to come away with just 1 point. As Roy said after the game, results will come (probably not in the next two though!). There are 4/5 terrible teams in the Prem this season. We are not one of them.
But I agree with you that there are poorer sides than us......However, that doesn't always result in who goes down. If we lose Zaha for any significant number of games, we become one of those sides. We are by no means comfortable. That's what happens when your transfer policy has been poor these last two years.

Benteke has had plenty of chances ,he seems unable to even hit the target , has been mistiming his headers and scuffing his shots . Lets hope the lay off will bring him back refreshed and eager to prove the knockers wrong .

Don’t forget to blame Parish for his rubbish signings up front. We have no options whatsoever up top. Ayew and Sorloth are rubbish, and Benteke can’t score for toffee. Benteke had a fabulous scoring rate,being 49goals for Villa,19 in his first season alone and 15 goals for us in his first season.

I'm not so sure as none of us really knows what goes on in the transfer department and to say that "he doesn't tell his managers who they are going to get" could well be wrong if the rumours about Parish signing Wilf over Pulis's head are true

Hodgson's tactics remind me of the classic Morecambe and Wise sketch, where Eric says to Andre Previn " I played all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!" Hodgson is playing the correct players, but not necessarily in their best positions.
Let's keep the ball this season! |

Hodgson is playing the correct players, but not necessarily in their best positions. Two more defeats likely,many would not be surprised,over the next two games,denting our goal difference as losing games to good sides,apart from the good Arsenal point,becomes the norm.
