Boro should have got shot of Karanka at the same time as we ditched Phelan, if they want to stay up... theyve left it too late me thinks.
It would be mildly amusing if Sunderland and Boro went down and Newcastle made a Horlicks of it.... actually it would be great!!!
Whoever pointed out Burnley have struggled in the last 6 games is absolutely correct. They have, however, chosen not to mention that FIVE of these 6 games have been away from Turf Moor. The one HOME game was the 1-1 against Chelsea. Watford (1-2), Hull (1-1), Swansea (2-3), Liverpool (1-2), Sunderland (0-0). Liverpool should have been a point at least - performances OK except a poor showing at Swansea. I'm hoping the 2 home games in the final 3 fixtures against West Brom and West Ham could act as our safety net - if required. I doubt the Baggies and the Hammers would be "flat out" and relishing a physical encounter so late in the season.
I think our chances are about 40% of staying up. Palace & Swansea have more players who can change a game - Zaha, Llorente, Siggyson..
The entire reason I was tipping Burnley to get dragged back into it was because of the run of away games. This hasn't been overlooked in the slightest.
Swansea and Palace have tougher games remaining. We have the easiest run in of the bottom 6 I believe.
One game at a time. Play to win every game. Two up front, always. It's an easy game, don't over think it.
