    Despite the result, I do agree with this.
    We do seem to be muddling through but we are surely going to get found out sooner or later.

    Sure but there's something to be said for grinding out results, I'm still more annoyrd about what happened at Newcastle where we were cheated out of being unbeaten

    The one thing I will say for him is that he’s generally done ok when subbed on. Seems to work much better to have him as a bench option than to start with him.

    There definitely is. I just worry we’re not going to keep getting away with it.

    I’m over that. We were possibly robbed of a point but that’s all. And actually that game is another good example of our blunt attack costing us.

    On one hand it’s great to be top of the league without really moving out of second gear but then on the other you do wonder if we will find those other gears needed to really have a stab at winning the league. The spine of the team is looking imperious with Saliba and Rice at the heart of it but the forward line to me looks very soft. Martinelli and Saka can’t really play against low blocks because they need space to exploit and Jesus just isn’t going to hit the kind of numbers we’ll need.

    we definitely still need to buy a quality striker in January - much as I like Trossard I don't think he's going to fill the gap and Eddie simply can't

    We're definitely riding our luck. We got lucky with the goal against City. We were a bit lucky with the VAR call vs Utd, that could have gone the other way. And we were a bit lucky at the weekend.
    Things have been going our way a bit and I can't help feel that won't keep happening, we do need a clinical striker. Doubt we'll get one though.
    If we do then it could well push us to the title this year.

    Erm, Newcastle?

    That was a travesty. Huge injustice for me.

    We’ve had VAR fuck us over at Chelsea (the handball).

    Martinelli offside v Everton. That was all kinds of wrong.

    We have been excellent in defence. That is not luck. But it is a huge reason why we’ve managed to rack up points.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Stopped watching football months back after it became unashamedly rigged by little men in VAR booths taking brown envelopes from little men in Asia. At least they used to try to cover their tracks. Now it's blatant and unapologetic. Like everything really.
