The weird thing is... even though I vowed NEVER to do confidence going into a game AGAIN after yesterday..
I STILL believe we can get at LEAST the 4 points we need over the next 2 games.
And if we can't them we dont DESERVE to finish top 4.
Let alone 3rd!!
If Chelsea win, we will shit our pants and the fall out will be far worse than the Newcastle year where we at least still qualified for the CL.We are in a trough. It is pure and simple.
The manager and players are struggling badly to find the answers.
Not one player is rising high and part of that will be down to our over reliance on Kane to dig us out of the mire.
The Chelsea game today is one where we need Chelsea to lose.
If they win I honestly would worry that we have enough to get the 4 points we would still need.

Throwing a ten point lead with 6 games to go is unacceptable and the slaying and mocking won’t even annoy me because I will agree with every single word of it.

This will never happen, Poch wont start Foyth, this is not a pre season friendly or Caraboa cup, it is the race for top which mean £25m plus much needed cash for the club. I was expecting 3 at the back against mancity and fa cup sf.Lloris
Foyth - Sanchez - Toby
Trippier - Eriksen - Dier - Dele - Davies
Son
Kane

Also would start Maura instead of out of sorts Dele. Also a bit adventurous and an element of surprise, Llorente instead of Kane.

No tots- this is no time to bed in Foyth. Plus a back 3 is a bad choice against Newcastle, who will surely be sitting back and looking to hit us on the counter...
LlorisI think we want Eriksen left sided of Dier so Dier can more easily drop back-right and cover for a bombing Tripps. Obviously Eriksen dictates from deep and hopefully we feed him for long-shots outside the box whenever play stalls out.

If Dembele is not back.....

If we miss out on the CL a fair few more of our stars will be sold mate. The millions we rake in will more than offset the loss of Champions League revenueStupid. Could cost the club millions if we miss on CL and fans will be fans and melt.
