Toby: title assault is built on there being 'no heroes'

[18Klinsmann]

I really like the work ethic in this current side. Credit has to go to Poch, it was brave to cut so many at once like Adebayor, Paulinho and Kaboul but it seems to be working. If we'd started badly the pressure on him would have been immense.

Yes. In professional football you need strong leadership and team ethics to make it at the highest level, and Poch's 'my way or the highway' approach has certainly made us a much stronger unit. You pull your weight and stay loyal and committed, or you're history - no matter how good a player you are. As long as the results are good even the decisions to discard good players will be easy to justify. My guess is it that the players in the current squad will have got the message by now and will tow the line - hopefully all the way to the CL.

I don't want to say today that we will or won't qualify this season. I'm sure we'll be really close so if we miss out it'll only be a few points, meaning every game is hugely important. Winning against Watford would be a great start. My hunch is 67 points and we'd be 90% likely to get in. We have 45 so with 14 to go that's 6 wins and 4 draws. On current form that looks likely. We might even sneak in with 65 but this has been such a crazy season let's get a few more wins as soon as we can.

Look at it this way, we only have 3 crunch games out of 13 left (city/scum and utd) get 5pts from those games and surely champs lge is guaranteed.

Unfortunately Leicester have a lot less games to play than us possibly, but if our form continues as it is (unlikely I know,,,, but possible) then top 2.
