I don't think it's so simple to look at it like that

if, for example, we would have beaten Fulham then the situation at the bottom would have changed. I think West Brom played Sunderland when they were already safe - that result could have gone differently. Or other teams would have had more pressure games.

Even despite that, I'd have given us a good chance of beating Arsenal if we needed to win to stay up on the last day. Even Liverpool and Chelsea were vulnerable when we played them - a better manager could have taken advantage.
