Same team as last week for me. Another three points also. COYS and I suppose come on you Irons, although I fell kinda dirty typing that.

I put Clinton in the same category as Son.
One for later.
Neither has shown much in their limited appearances so far
beyond enthusiasm to make me think that
either are game changers or challenging to displace
any of the the 'first eleven'.
But it's a squad game these days so fingers crossed

Son and N'jie are that plan B for when Kane on his own isn't working. N'jie for his pace and Son for his link up play. I think we need one powerful striker to compliment those and we have a strong forward line.

Leicester draw, so chance to close the gap, although it would have been better had they lost.

Could a West Ham player have just cleared the ball instead of playing square and inviting pressure?

I thought that too, they had chance to clear or keep possession better but gave it away at that critical moment with 30 seconds to go.
To be fair though, Leicester should have had a penalty for the holding on Huth moments before.
West Ham were poor in possession all game. I thought, 'is the same side we struggled against a few weeks back?'

No mate. We would need to win all our games to win on GD if Leicester got those results. Still up for grabs though but I think we need to win all our games to have a chance realistically

Thr Poch will keep the same team; those seem to be the ones he trusts & there's no one on the bench that has been better than the 1st eleven.

We need speed up top & as much as I like Son he always appears reticent about going through the gears & upping the speed. Njie seems to be one of the few who has genuine speed that can drive the team forward. Hopefully he is on the bench for Stoke.

I think the independent variable here is pressure, pressure tends to through form books and formalities out the window. All that can be said right now, is that should we win tonight we will be within 5 points of Leicester with 4 games to play. My gut feeling is that it will come down to the last game of the season, and our boys would do extremely well to stay on Leicester's heels until then.

My only worry is which Man Utd and Chelsea will turn up against Leicester. Even Everton and Swansea are very inconsistent at the moment. All have the ability to cause Leicester problems. If it comes down to the last game, do you think Chelsea would purposely let Leicester win over us? If it was Arsenal and Leicester, would you let Leicester beat us just to stop Arsenal winning the title? I would hate to think that would happen, but it's a possibility.

My God that sent shivers down my spine, You raise a very interesting point. We can only trust that all teams will remain professional. I would honestly be disgusted if "top"clubs like Chelsea and Man United swoop to that level. I think Man United will fight for 4th and will not simply give 3 points away...But Chelsea? That's a tricky one, not sure how their new coach will feel about them throwing away points...then again he is from the most corrupt league... Lets hope it's in our hands come the last day of the season.
