We are now beginning to see some strange results, Motivation, injuries and fatigue will play a huge part in the last few games. The players were not in  condition to play so many games in such a short period.

The Bournemouth result would have been a gratuitous nail in our coffin if we hadn't won, but we did, so we're still alive.

That Leicester second half was so bad it should trigger an investigation from the Gambling Commission!

Perhaps they'll look back in a few years as their Stoke moment. They're choking top 4 like we did back then.

Yes. Several teams were sluggish for 2 to 3 games and then sprang to life and rediscovered some sharpness.

I don't think any team is back to pre-break levels, including Man U.

At least we haven't any incurred major injuries.

He must see that playing Grealish as an attacking forward is the way to go.

and some started well and are looking jaded.
Having key players available for the next 3 games will be critical for the relegation threatened  teams.

I thought similar, it reminded me of Brazil being mauled by Germany in the WC SF where you actually question how professional players can perform so badly.

What an ideal week looks like
- Man City beat Bournemouth by 4 goals
- we win v Everton
- West Ham beat Watford
- Southampton don’t lose v Bournemouth

West Ham beat Watford for me. Don't want to have to beat West Ham AND rely on Arsenal not fucking us over for one last time when they play Watford. I'll just be happy if Villa win and Bournemouth lose this week though, those are the main things. We win and there is a positive to the Watford West Ham result whichever way it goes.

Be surprised if Bournemouth don't get beat against Man City.

We could be safe after Arsenal. Requires us to win our next two but given I was thinking we could well be down on Thursday it's a nice difference. Incredible how much a win inspires confidence. Thursday is so big. Winnable game in the circumstances, got to keep the momentum going.

Never trust a London team, any one of them.
