A bit unfortunate with Liverpool and Man United scraping wins when playing poorly. Burnley doing us a favour. Did we even deserve a point v Leeds? Shocking performance in any case.

yes we deserved a point against Leeds based on the second half performance but could easily have lost.

Feels a lot like the same time in 23/24. Without trawling back through the posts from back then, I'd guess that the same people who just knew that Spurs were going to overtake us are the same ones who just know that all of Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd will overtake us this time.

That's not to say that we definitely will be fine. But it would still be a surprise if we finished lower than fifth, even with our current form.

Just remember we can't talk about our injuries because Spurs have more apparently, just like 23/24.

Agreed, Chelsea appear the most inconsistent of the chasing pack and appear to have the toughest run in. If I had to bet my own money on who would miss out it would be on them.

I'd be suprised if we didn't finish 3rd or 4th and win the Europa League. Yeah we have injuries and we have timing, but two defeats to Everton, Brentford and Leeds are poor, with a win against Brighton and a decent point (poor 2nd half) against Bournemouth and a cracking win at Newcastle mixed amongst it.

Its ok form, its not disaster. Lets beat Wolves, as we absolutely should and put 3 more points on the board, be another game down and closer to the return of McGinn and Tielemans.

Plus the extra six weeks they spent running around in the summer is hopefully going to catch up with them in the last couple of months.

Careful, we might have to do the same this year...

54 points with 10 games to go if we beat Wolves. With McGinn and Tielemans to come back in. A strong performance at Wolves, result will take care of itself, and we start looking forward I reckon.

Exactly. Lets not fall into the excuse trap and lets not panic either. Job to be done Friday against the worse team in the leagues' history.
