97%. Take that with the seriousness which it deserves. We're six points clear, not twelve.

Yep, there's few games left but a long way to go.

If we change how we play now it will involve a huge effort from the coaching staff to put over the new ideas only to have to revert to type if we get McGinn and Tielemans back and I really don’t see us wasting the time and effort when there are importantly games to prepare for.

Those % chance things are horseshit. Not denying we're in a better position in terms of points on the board but our form has gone down the shitter. Six points is fuck all really when you factor in we have to play all the teams pursuing us.

It seems to me that Liverpool and Utd fans expect to get CL. Villa fans are just waiting for the wheels to fall off, to then say I told you so. The attitude needs to change.  I'm still positive we can get CL and expect many twists over the remaining games.

were in a league of 4 and just need to not finish bottom.  Were in bad form - but still a buffer. 

Chelsea and Man Utd are enjoying a new manager bounce.  Liverpools form is not much better than ours.  If we get 5 points from our next 3 games were pretty much there I would think.

We'll find some form - but every team has purple patches and we already have the points from ours - just need to pick up points where we can until we find our form.

Plus, every game and every week that passes our better injured players are getting stronger, just maybe they come back into the side at just the right time to clinch it.

We beat Wolves, Arsenal beat Chelsea, we beat Chelsea. In just over a week's time we could be 12 points in front of Chelsea, and breathing much easier.

Exactly - I do think playing against a low block seems to be a real challange to us - so to some extent playing teams that want / need to win may help.
