Is that it?Yes, we're way down, probably on the bottom. I see your boys are in the oh so familiar keeping the pressure on position
You can do better than that

Yeah I've read a lot of post going on about it's all lining up for Liverpool. It's only Christmas. Technically not even half way through the season and we are only 4 points clear. I'd be saying it's out year if we were perhaps 10 points clear. But 4 points is nothing and we have games against Arsenal and City coming up in a couple of weeks, could well be back behind City by early January.
Long way to go.

You're right, I do have soft spot for the third in a two horse race one.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say, but as with most imitations it’s cheap and lower quality
Now you're next step is to win something and you know I'll be first in line to congratulate. "We drew at Barca" does not count

I’m happy for you, at least you’ve got something to say seeing as we hardly lose now

Still wouldn't be enough. A Salah or VVD goes injury changes everything and I wouldn't think we'd be able to keep it up.
We're going to need some luck all the way until the final match day.
What was her slogan last time we challenged? #Destiny or something?
Was the ultimate troll, set us all up terribly haha

Like I was saying on a liverpool thread... city losing means its Liverpools to lose now.
Past shows we arent great at closing out.
Pretty much can afford to only lose 1-2 more games

Taking Everton lightly ?

I think Pendle said that to me once way back when, I think we've gone 11 unbeaten since.
We should at least draw, would be a very bad performance to lose.
Wow, I don’t do twitter but can see that the pochout hashtag is a thing? Yep, fickle tinpots indeed.
Back to winning ways is handy.
Don't see how it's Liverpool's title to lose. They're four points ahead and we're not even in the new year FFS.

Our xG for the Wolves/Leicester games was about 2, which should have been enough to see us get something from both games even with defensive lapses.
Wolves/Leicester were simply much more clinical in both games. With a consistent finisher of our own IMO we don't lose either game.
I still wish to persist with Sarri because it's clear that in terms of ball-retention and overall cohesion (in terms of midfield linking defence and attack) we are light years ahead of last season. We are also creating enough chances to get something out of almost every game. However, without a consistent finisher Top 4 will be tough.
Defensively we are not great, but also not terrible - we are conceding well under a goal per game.
I had no problem with our first XI. It was clear that Sarri was looking to monopolise possession to prevent counter-attacks (hence why Kovacic started) and Willian was meant to press Ricardo Pereira and prevent him from bombing forward (which didn't really work). He should have subbed Giroud/RLC on after the first half though, not after Leicester scored. Hazard is also (grotesquely) a better finisher than Giroud/Morata so using him as a false 9 makes some sort of sense - the problem is that it's not really what he does best.
Hats off to Leicester - they came to break from deep and they accomplished that task perfectly.

If she returned we would finish 7th.

Reckon Mertens would be beast for you guys for 2-3 years if Hazard is going to continue in that false 9 role, them two can rotate when needed.
You'd only need one target guy, not two. Morata has resale value so best to cash in on him imo.

Should we set up a petition to get her back?
The only downside with Mertens is that he's pushing 32.
Agree about Morata - at the moment he can't finish his lunch and mentally he is shot.
I wouldn't mind Giroud being replaced with somebody like Mitrovic, who can also play that big target-man role whilst being a better finisher (Giroud has better link-up play though).

If they win all of their remaining games they win the title, if they don't, then they might not win the title. It's literally in their hands.
