Everton away is a tough one. May be our 1st draw here

I have seen few games of Everton this season. So much of their play goes through Siggy & Richarlison. Contain them, we can contain Everton. Gomes is doing a decent CM job but its their weakness along with their defense. Mina seems slow and is making mistakes on pressing. If we bring our A game, we can beat Everton at their stadium

This season is exciting. Man City and Liverpool are like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid riding into the sunset, and we’re the Possy that doesn’t give up.

Mourinho already starting the mind games today. I thought his comments about Liverpool being lucky were a compliment but the papers haven’t run that angle obviously.

Mourinho of old would do us a favour today and win but I think it’s going to be hard for them today unless he pulls a rabbit out of the bag.

I don't think a Man U win would be doing us a favour. We need the draw.

We shouldn’t be looking below us, were chasing Liverpool and City.

As much as I want to, I don't really think like this. I just take it game by game, for instance we were 3 minutes away from having to look below us.

With so much of the season left plus Arsenal's form and Chelsea's capabilities, I don't think it's silly to be cautious of what's below us. Just like how a lot should probably think Liverpool and City should still be cautious if not anything else of us below them.

EDIT: Sorry after reading the context of your post I agree in this instance though, in how a United win could be beneficial. I can safely say that as United are so far though. If it was Arsenal, I'm pretty sure I'd be wanting Liverpool to win and hope that Liverpool drop points elsewhere. Top 4 secured first and foremost for me, personally.

Have some faith. How many games this season have we played where we have not scored? Can only think of Man City at home.

Good to see the Gooners luck run out at long last. We're 5 points ahead and they've had a tough match today and down to the bare bones in defence which should make it a bit easier on Wednesday. Should be able to pull away from them with our set of fixtures coming up and start looking up rather down.

I'm reading that Hazard was subbed because of an injury as well so Chelsea got the win but lost the main man, as for Arsenal, normal service resumed, they beat us and that's the pinnacle of their season.

lts still wrankles with me though. In the past the filthy Gooners beat us when they were more tired, had played more games and had more big games. The never had to make excuses. I never want to hear us making them. We're the better team, we have to beat them. Anything less and we're undermining our status as a big club. Some will disagree but that's how much I f******g hate them.
