Or maybe it’s an opportunity to step up. Reality is we don’t have to be anywhere near as good as we were in the first half of the season. We just need to be decent, which we are more than capable of. Every midfielder being fit gave us a small chance of the title - but the squad now can deliver enough for top 5.

Yes.

I caught myself thinking that earlier.

Perhaps - but Forest came up from nowhere. We’ve been in and around here the last few years and have one of the best managers around.

We've got a bit of a gap as it stands, but we're likely going to have to be better than one out of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool over the home stretch.

Yup, like I said we need to be decent. If we fall off a cliff we won’t do it, but that hasn’t happened under Emery. We’re in a challenging run, with a couple of rough home displays, but we’ve still got a couple of good away results. We have more than enough to do enough.

Or to put it another way all three of those sides being consistently better than us? Maybe, odds against it. Especially Man Utd - a good start under Carrick, but I’m far from sold all problems are solved.

It absolutely wasn't delusional to think we were at one point in the title race not so long ago, I'm not sure why that has now been said. Did most of us think we were really going to do it? Nah, doubt it, but we were in it. If our 3 starting midfielders hadn't all been cursed we most likely would have still had a fighting chance. I know some hate Opta but that had us at about a 10% chance a couple of weeks ago and that felt about right. Obviously that's fucked now but I'd rather have the points on the board and we just need 1 of 3 teams to not have title winning form, which is highly likely. BLUUE MOOOOON!
