When Liverpool beat City at the weekend, I did a little fist bump and proclaimed to my mate in the pub, that's a great result for our title chances, and for the league in general.
Now just 4 days later I'm sweating top 4 and the gooners somehow luck sacking their way to a title ala Leicester.
As the great man said, It's a funny old game.
Need a giant reaction against Newcastle at the weekend, one of those ruthless Fuck you type of performances that sides with character show after they have been wounded.
have we got it in us though? remains to be seen.
I really don't appreciate these cold, hard undeniable facts. I feel triggered.

can we permaban this account?I’m not blaming dier or Davies etc but it’s clear they have a ceiling.
Ronald McDonald could be the manager and only get so far with them. We refuse to spend on quality player and that is the only common denominator between poch, Jose, and conte.
None of our back four gets into anyone else’s team. ( Romero is having a poor season).
Maybe conte is trying to show this to the board by keeping on playing them to force their hand in January because unless we invest the end result will the same.

Sorry but do you think Moura on for Bissouma or Skipp for Hojberg would have been a winning move? Maybe Sess earlier on could change something but we will never know.
Tbh I don't remember but the jist of my point is he is part of a team performance which played much better in those games mentioned than tonight so his overall impact was important.
But players like Kulu give you the belief to play the type of football this is demanded from Conte.
It's no coincidence that he has been one of our best players since he arrived.
If he was available tonight it would have allowed us to play 3-4-3 which is Conte's no1 tactic clearly too.
Nah mate, I'm sure there's only ONE Everton.... I can think of at least FOUR Uniteds....
Man United...
Leeds United...
West Ham...
Newcastle United...
There's loads!!!
Ohhhhhhh, you meant something different!
EVERTON UNITED??!

It’s probably the raw emotion of watching us get completely dominated that I’m being hyperbolic right now.
But I just compare we were against the Chavs earlier this season and whilst getting outplayed for most of the match, it at least felt like the players cared and tried.
Tonight, I didn’t see any of it at all and that’s the most frustrating thing to see as a fan.
AVB won 3-2 at Old Trafford, it was glorious. Today was fucking shameful.
Weve been shit against most teams but have sneaked goals.
This was enlightening. Have you thought about going into punditry?
damn worse then avb then, bad bar to be on
The top 6 games have been shit, there’s no getting away from that. Not helped by all being away mind but that’s only a partial excuse.
Performances other than that have been up and down, but I don’t think it’s true to say we’ve only won by luck. We’re not setup to be a high-press or possession dominant side, but we create good chances and concede a very limited number of high quality chances.
It’s not perfect, but this is still a starting XI with Davies, Doherty PEH etc in there. It isn’t going to be perfect.
It’s hard for me to imagine any other manager in the world extracting much more with these players than Conte is right now.
This was on the players tonight. Might be psychological or due to limited ability. No urgency, basics and movements on or off the ball.
And stop telling yourself that Bryan or Lucas would have performed in any way in this team today.

3 central midfielders.. Fat lot of good that did.
Just more players to give the ball back to United's defenders and lose 2nd balls.
Let's not pretend we should ever expect to turn up at Old Trafford and walk away with 3 points though. Poor performance but not season defining.
Don't think United played as well as the commentary would like to suggest though. Gave them gift after gift. Tough watch.

Even more worrying is the fact that even though it was incredibly obvious we were being outplayed in every department for the entirety of the game, Conte didn't think that a tactical change was necessary until the last few moments!
This.
We were never getting anything out of the game with what we were doing. We were going to lose anyway. Change something. Or should we continue with tactics/personnel which are obviously going to fail us? Even if the option seems worse the outcome of not using that option was pretty obviously a loss anyway.
Of course. But every team has shit games in a season.
Utd were massively at it tonight, but let’s not forget how abject they are against Brighton, Brentford and City.
They got mauled by all 3.
Personally I was more frustrated with our massive fucking inability to control the ball or play a simple pass. Sooo many basic errors and we really let their press affect us too much.
