Agreed, but it’s not “past glories” as in a different era, different players. It’s actually quite recent glories, with many of the same players, so there is hope of some kind of improvement, even if not to title-winning form, certainly enough to win a game or two.
To win a game or two yeah, to consistently do it over a season I'm not sure. Hopefully, you would have thought the fortune change would have come after a break where Pep can work on the solution as well as the buzz of his renewal. Maybe a positive 115 outcome might kickstart us?
 
Even with a draw, I'd say everything to play for.

A loss though, becomes far more difficult.

But then we were 12 points ahead of liverpool in January the gundo year, and people had called the title race over, and we found ourselves what 7 minutes from missing out on it.

Lots can still happen, let's just get some points on the board first.
The best we had was an 8 point lead with equal games and it was for a very short period.

This season Liverpool are going for our points record and we are not at the races. We haven't had a convincing PL win since August.
 
You think we're going to continue in this form for the rest of the season?
Not losing every week no, but our form even when winning wasn't great. If you look at our actual performances over the season, last minute against a poor Wolves, crap against Newcastle, poor against Brentford and Fulham, stumbled over the line against Southampton. Our performances have largely been poor, even when we have picked up points. Factor in that we have gone behind in the majority of games too.

Ok. Fair.

I'm not ready to give up quite just yet though, sorry.

And if we end up having a bad season, we will recover fairly quickly imo.

They are going for our points record? After like 13 games? Did they call you to say? Weird statement to make...
 
Are we out of the race? No. Will it be difficult now? Absolutely. We need a 180° turnaround in form and belief. Defend like we did in that last 20 minutes on tuesday, and you can forget it. But I have to believe we can do it. Deluded? Quite possibly. But where better to start than TMMfield.
 
Not over.....Liverpool are only in 2nd gear...briefly 3rd in games. But they have struggled in matches,been extremely lucky to swing games and scraped through matches.

Arsenal are in second gear, over a lumpy patch and with a run of wins.....back in the mix.

We on the other hand need a sharp turn around and a spirit and desire I've not seen in us in two seasons. Still love our squad mind, I think we ve been falling shy of our standards of late.....need something immediate and a momentus push.Starting this Sunday.

Again though, you're talking about our current form. I don't believe we'll play this poorly all season, and we're still 2nd even though we are playing poorly, so see nothing to suggest we won't make CL spots

Yeah, you’d hope. From catching up on some of the 115 thread today, it now looks like the outcome of that won’t be in the short term, probably after this season is over.
Re results turn around, the match on Sunday, no idea - might not be pretty - but I really hope that Forest at home the following Wednesday will be a confidence-boosting performance and result.
