To dare is too rare.
To park is the bus?
In fairness, Sheff U away was a good watch... and I’m hoping for similar today. Brighton are utter shite.
Yep. Brighton, Chelsea and West Brom next 3, if we dont get 7 pts minimum top 4 will be looking like a massive ask.
Thats what Im hoping for anyway...
Top 6 mate. Not even talking about top 4
Hate to say but I think the top 4 might end as is
the <removed>s unfortunately looked immediately better with tuchel
we’ve made a right pigs ear out of this season
still a win today won’t hurt
Agree, i dont think we'll do it. Pretty much everyone in the top half looks in better shape than we do. Just hope we can win a few to maybe change momentum or at least keep the table interesting.
Lucas gets a semi pass as he wasn’t on the pitch v Liverpool. Lamela was hopeless so should be nowhere near the team today.
Bale gets - yet another - pass as he wasn’t on the pitch long but did at least try and pass forwards / not fully sideways.
I do really hope we don’t get Son or Lucas as CF, or a diddy-front- three rotating and doing fuck all (Berg, Son, Lucas) - Poch tried it and Jose has tried it but no-one can pass well enough to bring them into play.
Who knows!
Since the 12th/13th December weekend of football when our season took a turn - we've only won 1 more point than Brighton have. Since that weekend:
Tottenham - 9
Brighton - 8
Newcastle - 8
Fulham - 7
Sheff Utd - 7
West Brom - 6
Wolves - 6
And we've failed to beat half of those teams below us in the form table.

Now I'm really depressed!
Whereas those above us:
Man City - 26
Man Utd - 21
Leicester - 19*
Liverpool - 13**
West Ham - 18***
* Leicester currently drawing with Leeds
** Liverpool play later
*** West Ham play later
Nearly everyone above us has double the amount of points we've got in the same time frame, City nearly have triple. Liverpool haven't - but they've beaten us twice in that period.
That makes grim reading.
Don't have a good feeling about this one, Brighton play very good football but they are just incredibly wasteful up front. We look so bad defensively right now it's hard to see them not scoring against us.
I had a similar feeling after Liverpool to the one I had after the 7-2 against Bayern, and we all remember what happened when we went to Brighton three days later. I just don’t think our players are tough enough not to shit themselves. Brighton will smell blood.

The only thing still giving me any sense of hope for the season is that so many teams have gone through bad runs of form this season and have found a way out. We are going through ours now. The biggest difference is that I don’t see Mou doing anything different to give us a chance.
I think Mourinho HAS at least tried to do something different in that he's since moved to a 3 at the back and to be fair, against Sheff Utd I thought it worked really well.
But against Liverpool, probably due to an injury to Kane in the first half and having Reguilon miss out - it didn't work quite as well.
Will be interesting to see if we keep that today but with Davies at LWB again.
