Saving our season - next 4 games

While we’d obviously prefer to still be in the CL, I’m not disappointed at all that we are not in the Europa League.

It looks unlikely at the moment but there is still a possibility that we can salvage our league season.

The next 4 games before the almost 3 week lay off will be crucial.

West Ham (A)
Villa (H)
Forest (A)
Spurs (H)

All tough games. West Ham & Villa are in excellent form right now, Forest willl likely have a new manager by then and Spurs seem to have gotten over their blip.

If we can come out of these games still in touch with the top 4 then maybe we can get a few players back and give it a go for the rest of the season.

A bad run here and our season is pretty much over and is looking worse than the 21/22 season.

We won't get more than 4 points from those 4 games.
Unless ETH changes the "system" we will still be easy to play against and won't score goals. That is the only way to salvage the season.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

How is changing the system going to help us score goals? It would help us concede less more likely.

The only way we will score more is by better finishing. Our forwards have been atrocious in front of goal in the league.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't create clear chances. We rank 12th in big chances created.

Last season we were 3rd. There has been a change in approach this season which isn't working. You can tell that by watching the games without even looking at the stats.

We're 16th in goals scored. It's not as if we have created a boatload of chances for our forwards to score.

ETh says that we are the most successful team at winning the ball back in the opposition's half. It's pointless unless you do something with it.

Systems and approaches don’t mean a grate deal when you have a lot of injuries and players out of form.

This is all meaningless when your forward players are not taking any of the chances they get.

Without even checking I would bet that McT, who is crap, has more league goals or at the very least is close to, than Rashford, Rasmus, Martial and Antony.

‘Combined’ I should have added.

He has more. I think McT has 5 and the other 4 combined have only 3. It's harsh to call McT crap imo but he certainly should not be starting regularly in midfield for us that's for sure.

Villa, draw or loss, they are better than us
Forrest win
Spurs draw

Both things can be true. Strikers are sheite and our system is trash creating less chances and conceding more goals. We can't blame the goals conceded on our goalscorers too. That's tactics.
