Hopefully in spite of my reservations about it we take to it like a duck to water and blaze through 6/7 wins.

5 wins will be enough.

I could see us beating West Ham, Palace, Newcastle and Sheff Utd.  3 draws from the other six would see us safe...

Track and tracing: What's the odds that Jack will get a call before a match saying he has to self isoloate from someone trying get him out of the team for 2 weeks...

5 subs allowed, not sure this really benefits us.

El Ghazi has been self isolating for most of the season.

Yes and no. Yeah, our best XI have been questionable, let alone those that should be able to replace them. But 5 subs means we could deploy more people tactically with shorter periods of time left at crucial points in critical games.

And can someone save me looking myself; 5 subs, is it still only 7 on the bench?

Yeah five subs allowed out of seven, and you would only be able to make substitutions on three occasions.

So, for instance, you could bring on two at once, then two at once, then one. If you bring on one, then another, then another, you wouldn't be able to make any more subs.

That's actually a good idea.

Despite our decent performance in the cup final our form was pretty ropey. The Leicester defeat was a comprehensive battering. We can't complain that the break disrupted any good form.

From Newcastle in thirteenth place all the way down to Norwich in 20th place the bottom eight were all in poor form when games were stopped. Ourselves being the worst. The form teams were Liverpool, Man City, Manure, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Palace.

Yes, ten stops for substitutions would have been unbearably tedious.

In my crueller moments, I see a former manager of ours making 5 at once.

That'll take some beating to not be the least surprising thing I hear today.

If Liverpool don't hit the ground running from the restart the game in which they secure the title will be an ongoing saga. However they do only need two wins.
