All I'm saying is thank God its the NLD this Saturday.

We'll be up for this, it's away to Southampton I'm worried about.

There is no crisis yet, but it is incredibly close to one. In November, it was stated that if we could go into March with a handful of points as a gap, we would have done very well, and that’s where we are at. But Arsenal is now an absolutely must-win, we cannot not win.

if someone had predicted we'd be 4 points clear of 4th on March 1 when Kane and Dele went down most people would've been happy with that Id wager.

Expectations aren’t set in stone. Start of the Leicester winning season, I’m sure most people would have bitten your arm off for 3rd.

Most people on here would have abused you ruthlessly for believing such a thing could even happen. You know that thing about weak mentality, well there's loads of it in this thread today. We remain favourites for top four.

In the vote at the top, with 400+ voters, nearly 80% said we’d finish in top 4 and more than 50% said we’d finish top 3 or above. So not sure I follow your thought process

We never play to actually nick a point. Yesterday or away to City for example we sometimes need to realise to just shut up shop.

Surely that's exactly what we did yesterday? I mean, you can't expect to score if you don't have a shot on goal right?

*unless you've got brain dead defenders/goalkeeper that will do it for you...

This non draw thing seems to be like a badge of honour.. it’s really not I’d swap at least 4/5 of the defeats for a draw and have 4 or 5 more points.

To be honest I thought we were defending extremely well. Hazard was constantly being ushered away from goal and we barely gave them a sniff. Then we allowed Davies to get isolated with Pedro and he shit a brick and moved forward when he probably should have just stayed in line.

It felt like we were just letting Chelsea tire out and then were going to go for it, like we've done before. Unfortunately we have two full backs who quite simply arent good enough and have mistakes in them. Therefore all hard work is undone and any game plan goes out the window.

We absolutely have to start on the front foot against Arsenal and that means no Trippier or Davies.

We need to beat arsenal Saturday but right now a draw will be enough. We haven’t performed well for a while.

We need Dele and Dier back ASAP. The team is lacking the heart and character that they give.

I’m just pleased that we went out of the FA cup to get a rest.

Imagine how embarrassing the last week would have been if we hadn’t have had an extra weeks rest!!
