The run to the title

[TubbsFarquhar]

If we continue to be completely incapable of finishing like last night then the title race is open. I'd say there were about 10 golden chances we blew which proved to be costly because now the pressure is back on somewhat. City becomes a must-win in order to breathe a bit easier because if the gap is closed to 5 on Thursday then things become very interesting. We also have some tough away games against Everton and West Brom along the way whereas Spurs don't really have any I can see.

 

[chef]

Not sure it'd 'haunt' us but it'd be a tough pill to swallow and you would see a fair few changes take place in the squad.

 

[chef]

I read somewhere in the last 12 games we've had 1 clean sheet. The previous 12 we had 10.

Haven't had a clean sheet since January 23 against Hull.

Any obvious reasons for that?

 

[Zidane98]

moomba must be getting ready to pack his bags if Spurs win the title

 

[moomba]

Spurs won't won a title in my lifetime IMO.

 

[chef]

Any obvious reasons for that?

Lack of concentration for a couple at the end of games, also our wingbacks have been flogged and struggle to see out games. Need more depth there.

 

[HellasOle]

After last night im pretty nervous about the rest of the season.

Last night was a joke
Matic was poor, Pedro ain't a Wing Back and Costa is getting on my nerve
Back to the 3-4-3 against City with the USUAL SUSPECTS and a Cesc-Kante midfield
Your thoughts Chef

 

[chef]

We are starting to run out of puff. Need to rotate a lot more.

Batshuayi should have been used more, Zouma, Chalobah, Aina etc too.

 

[Cruyff14]

Is it possible that Faith isnt actually capable of trying harder.

This is the best he has. How unfortunate.

She mate, she.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Spurs won't won a title in my lifetime IMO.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't think we're far off having the team to win one. We may again have the best defence and no reason why it couldn't be the stiffest again next season. Need a little more attacking quality to turn those draws into W's.

As for this season, the equation is simple. Probably have to be perfect from here, then hope for a couple of favours along the way.

I do think we'll fall short but it is nice to genuinely be considered in this conversations.
Can't be mad at that progress.

 

[RossFC]

Man City shouldn't be in this discussion. Spurs, maybe.

 

[FAITH]

chef still worried?

 

[chef]

City are still in until our game. They knock us over and they are still alive.

 

[chef]

chef still worried?

Yeah. We havent been in good form and Spurs have a good run home. They are a real threat.

 

[Zidane98]

City are still in until our game. They knock us over and they are still alive.

Barring a disaster you have the title wrapped up.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah I would be shocked if Chelsea lose it from here.

 

[FAITH]

Yeah. We havent been in good form and Spurs have a good run home. They are a real threat.

yesterday you said you were worried by city, today its spurs, next week lfc?

 

[chef]

I was more worried about Spurs yesterday, you know the 4 point gap that could happen

I guess until your team has been in this position you probably wont get how it feels. Been a while for Pool so youve probably forgotten the nerves.

Imagine being afraid of Spurs chasing you down for the title

Man im as nervous as * atm.

Nothing wrong with being afraid of Spurs, they are a very good team and have a great run home.

They're Spurs, they always implode in crunch time, have you forgotten matchday 36?

You guys have around the same lead as Leicester last season, they romped it eventually, one loss is not enough to start sitting on a pineapple
