Possible. But very unlikely that ALL of the five teams above the bottom 2 will get more points than us in the last games.
Can’t see it.

Or.. You could look at the teams below and see that we create more than them and have a better defensive record than most, with our goal difference better than all.

We’ll be fine, we only need 11 points from 12 games with the teams in and around us all coming up. Brighton are in free fall and Southamptons New Manager syndrome has run out.

Agree.
We are in this position because we have missed too many chances and no team could have missed more open goals than us this season. The way we play a lot of chances are created for our wingers and midfielders and as we see week after week, they're all s*** from within 10 yards of goal. We have no free kick or corner routines, so the defence don't get too many chances to score. The system needs a big front man to win headers, but we desperately need a penalty box striker. Batshuayi has shown in two cameos that he doesn't play well with his back to big centre halves, it's not his game, so we really need to play both of them. That then could potentially leave us light in midfield.
Yesterday we passed about on the edge of the area,(like every game) non stop looking to walk it in and when Benteke went off we started hitting in crosses earlier. Surely that should be done when he's on the pitch? If you look back at the last 18 months or so our forwards are lucky if they get one chance a game. Rarely have they had more and IMO a big part of that is constantly pissing about on the edge of the area.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

We are around the middle of the current form table, Brighton are near the bottom. There's no room for complacency on our part, but I'd rather be us than them at the moment:
