My point was that nobody is expected to bridge that gap. Hence why I followed it with a more realistic target which could make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're probably a bit of an anomaly, and not a team worth comparing to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City their last 14 and were just too good unfortunately . Not really shite or opinion that can be sucked up.....just sharing a stat that is interesting. Especially as Liverpool fans are always keen to aim the bottlers accusation at everyone else.. As you so rightly point out City won there last 14 games there is no competing with that,. By wonderful coincidence Liverpools last dropped points was the derby at Goodison 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think with the bulging collection of runners up medals that Liverpool have collected in the last few many supporters are keen to aim the bottlers accusation at others. I’m quite happy to talk about 31 and 43 points differences though . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 2 hours ago, WATTOO said: So have my own team, however as a realist I certainly wouldn't like to see McCall sacked as we also have punched well above our weight with regards budgets etc. The reality is that like Ayr, Brighton have a very small squad relative to their peers and in the modern game where the emphasis is on fitness and stamina this tends to catch up with teams as the season progresses. It should also be remembered that Brighton had an excellent FA cup run and Hughton took them all the way to the semi finals where they were ultimately beaten by Man City by only a single goal, surely this should be seen as another major success ?? The comparison with Ayr isn't really valid. Brighton have been lucky this year. Huddersfield and Fulham are in the all time bottom 10 for points totals, add in Cardiff on a shoestring budget and you have a good case for this year's bottom 3 being the most gubbins in premier league history. So it's not really unreasonable for the Brighton board to be unhappy with only finishing 2 points ahead of this dross, particularly after backing Houghton relatively well in the transfer market. Not to the extent of some, but their spending levels are not much less or indeed equal, to the likes of Watford, Newcastle, Bournemouth etc. He's mostly blown his budget on diddies and failed to get the best out of the half decent ones, resulting in an alarming regression that almost resulted in relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
