A real fool would think that Southampton or Everton can win the league no? About Leicester you could at least say that they've got a very small chance.

Shouldn't rule anything out mate, as I said before it's a strange year and the teams in Europe are gonna suffer due to the amount of games they need to cram in.

They are definitely suffering.

No surprises that both United and City have been in better form without the distraction.

Also, they both had that first weekend off which is helping them now.

Because of our very busy start I think things caught up with us last month.

The break without the Fulham game did us some good, although we'll likely encounter problems in April.

The more postponements the more it's gonna fuck teams up that's why I'm not convinced that it's all City, they literally have no space to play their postponed fixtures unless they play them every two days or get knocked out of Europe or the cups early.

Nah, I'm not buying nonsense like "it's a strange year, even Southampton can win the league".. That's so ridiculously unlikely that it's not even worth mentioning, Leicester have got a small chance though.

A lot of fans seemed to be glad we got rid of him...
I'm happy he is finding his feet again.

lots of fans tend to under appreciate youth players....
i loved Poch but for me one of his biggest mistakes was the way he
handled kwp - the lad would have a blinder and then not play for a month or more

Agreed. However, we have to remember selling KWP got us Hojbjerg.
No it didn’t, Hojbjerg was coming whatever. They dropped him from the starting 11 because of it. KWP was just a pawn in it. Shame Poch didn’t trust him more, he started last season vs Newcastle and got motm. Then got dropped. Next game he started I think he got 2 assists?. Then dropped. Lols at Poch bringing through young players. And then not signing anyone because they wasn’t his no ones.

I thought KWP was lucky to get away with Mane's penalty shout last night.
If that had been Aurier it's given.

I think our busy start gave us a bit of an edge as we got up to match fitness quicker than a lot of sides, especially the manchester ones who had a week off the first weekend.

But yes agree with you, Fatigue will keep happening to teams through this season with the crazy schedule. L'pool look completely shot at the moment as do Chelsea.

Let's be honest we all know United will crumble, we'll go on a run of draws which will ruin our chances, and Leicester will hit relegation form come March and probably finish 9th. It'll be between Liverpool and City for the title, but it's fun to actually have a title race after last year.

Still Liverpool’s to lose if you ask me

Yeah me too. It’s a weird old season this year and I agree with the general sentiment that’s it’s open this year, but I think Liverpool and City will occupy the top 2 spots come then end of the season with Liverpool still favourites.

Youd have to fancy City to put a run together in their next 6, but then this season has been so odd, nobody would have thought they'd draw with WBA, nor would Liverpool.

After their next 6 they play Liverpool at Anfield and then us at the Etihad. So it really is anyones.
