So should tonight's game been a comfortable win but it was far from it. We need to sharpen up up front and take an early lead and they hopefully will fold.They're in decent form but are in a bit of a defensive crisis at the minute. Should be a comfortable win.
I never get to make these, so there!
Hoping for some momentum to continue against another bunch of ex-spurs boys!
With all due respect, I think Chelsea will be emboldened by their result this evening and realise that there's only one team left (us) with any chance of stopping them winning the league. And, based on our respective histories, I doubt that we're putting the fear of God into them.They have no defence. Injuries all over the place and Britos is suspended. This will be the easiest game remaining, seriously. I could see 4 or 5 being put through them. Would be great to see Kane back too.
Love the fact we play before Chelsea. A win puts us 4 points behind them. Now that's still a nice cushion for Chelsea but that sort of pressure can play on teams. Bournemouth away isn't easy but it's not the hardest. We just need to show Chelsea we arent going away and they'll begin to look behind them.
Old Trafford and Goodison Park still await them. Palace showed they're human.
It does feel good to be playing first, unlike last season when we seemed to be forever chasing an ever widening gap.First up for two weeks running now. We get to put all the pressure on others. We, the crowd, have to play our part as well. Put Janssen up top and play three at the back if Wanyama if fit. Obviously Sissoko on the bench.
