I dont think I would have we'd be in this position come April ever in my Life time.
When i sleep at night its all i dream about, the up coming match.

Its going to be a battle on Saturday evening, one thats making my hands sweat thinking about it.
One game at a time.....

With Rose and Walker both playing for England last night, we have to imagine it'll be Trippier and Davies starting against Liverpool on Saturday. Davies did play the full 90 for Wales but will have had an extra day to recover, Wales having played on Monday.

No way. If there are no problems with the returning players than it will be the usual formation. Might have a ? with Lamela with his traveling, otherwise it's the same usual 11.

Both Walker and Rose played against Bournemouth so the way Poch rotates his full backs Trippier and Davies should come in for the next game.

If we're playing two games in a week, yes. He doesn't rotate like that when it's one a week.

It's not going to happen. They were rotated when we had cup games. We now have a week between games. The experience of Rose and Walker at Anfield is a must, and they are the best full backs

I think it backfired on us vs West ham, so I think he will stick with Rose and Walker for most if not all the remaining games. Recently those two have raised their game to be without doubt our first choice now.

I'm positive it will now be our very strongest 11 every game.

No rotation, just shed loads of support from players to our players.

This should be our strongest part of the season really. One game a week so no tired players and the manager can prepare the teams tactics all week in training.

I think this part is key, we haven't been able to prepare thoroughly for opponents for a while because of the amount of games, travel and rest days. Given the attention to detail of Poch and his team, this could make a big difference.

The necessary scenario is probably 11 points to Leicester (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) and 16 points to us (5 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).
It's strictly speaking not impossible, but it involves relaying on maximum luck in every single match.
So naturally, we'll nail this. :whistle:

It's scary how everything can all change Sunday afternoon though if say Arsenal and Leicester win and we lose :cry:

Can't wait to watch us play on Saturday though it already feels like it's been too long.

I think we're far more likely to see Leicester drop points through draws rather than losses. Just have to make sure if they lose we at least get a draw and if they draw we get a win. If we're right up their arse with 2 games to go they buckle.... and we'll get a fkin draw at Newcastle lol.
Reminds me, must put money on Leicester win this weekend. That'll fk 'em up lol.
