The form of the last 5 games, could easily go onto the next 5-10 and really could have happened a couple of times this season.
Watford was the last game we won, lucky to win it if you're honest.

Hopefully Everton can put together a run.
Sorry if I'm just misunderstanding this. But I felt like you were implying that you were so disgusted with us that since spuds and plop are ****ting the bed you are hoping that Everton can make a run to surpass us? Again, sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yeah we probably will struggle in the next few games, we're riddled with key injuries that is basically making the only system that was keeping us above water (shot-limiting and solid defense) break down.
Look, I just don't think that any manager can come in right now and miraculously make us start playing better football/create more chances AND keep us from conceding more than we are capable of consistently overcoming. We have a lame attacking unit, we might be able to create more chances by opening up and committing more players forward but we don't have the individual quality behind midfield to cover for the amount of open field runs the other teams will subsequently get.
The main difference in our opinions, I guess, is that you probably believe that we have a good enough squad to compete at a high level but LvG is holding us back, while I believe that we
don't, in general, have a good enough squad to compete at a high level and LvG has made an unpopular and boring, but effective decision to minimize variance and give us the highest EV for points gathered.
Of course the fact that we don't have a good enough squad is obviously an indictment in itself when we have had 3 transfer windows (5 if we count Moyes-era) to address this. But in any case that can't really be saved from now and until the end of the season.
