The squad is good enough to win small games, you cant blame lack of striker. The approach was wrong, from players and from Mou. We played too defensive against bottom teams, should gone all attack to make win easier and boost stats, improve attacking tactics.

Either Mou lost his winning mentality vs small teams, or players cant follow him. Or everyone is too busy with world cup...

Slightly off topic but with Everton's 2-0 defeat to Southampton, a Top 4 finish is pretty much secured. 6 points clear, have a better GD (41 to 21) and played a game less than Everton. Now to ensure a Top 3 finish.....

...so what results would we need now that would lead us to becoming champions?

Title permutations:

For Chelsea to win:

1. Must win both remaining games - Norwich(H) and Cardiff(A)

2. Need Liverpool to lose 1 of their 2 remaining games - Palace(A) or Newcastle(H)

3. Need Man City to lose 1 of their 3 remaining games - Everton(A), Aston Villa(H) or West Ham(H)

For Liverpool to win:

1. Must win both remaining games

2. Need Man City to draw or lose 1 of their last 3 matches

3. OR win last two matches and outscore City in the process (current GD is 8 worse off than City, as it stands with them playing Palace right now)

For Man City to win:

1. Must win remaining 3 games to win title on GD

2. Must also not be outscored by Liverpool

P.S. Did that with the thought that City have beaten Palace today. Currently leading 2-0 anyway.

Even if we win our last two matches, it's out of our hands now. sigh.

We've still come far regardless of our incompleteness. What a difference a good manager makes, ey.

It's just like what Gary Neville said of Alex Ferguson before, Mourinho is worth 10 points alone in a league campaign.

Looking at the remaining games, it's highly unlikely that Liverpool and City will mess up those home games. If they are to drop points - draw/lose - it all come down to next weekend's games.

City go to Everton on Saturday. We'll face Norwich on Sunday. And Liverpool will be at Palace on Monday. The pressure will be piled on one another I guess.

Do wonder though how motivated will Everton be against City with their Top 4 hopes look to be over, especially if Arsenal win tomorrow. Same thought goes to Palace. Already safe from relegation and the team don't look capable of coming from behind if they concede first given their limited squad.

Tbh I'd say more, considering he plays such a big role in our on-pitch and off-pitch battles. His man-management, motivating skills, tactical skills, mind games, decisions regarding buying/selling players (and that's something you need a very special awareness for. I don't think there are many other managers out there who'd sell the players we did for the betterment of the club)...to name a few.

There are so many factors to consider when you take into account that an entire team of millionaires and dealing with the executives, the owner, the fans, the press...

So yeah, definitely more than ten points. I'm so thankful that we have him, even when we lose, can't help but love him. :heart:

I believe Gary Neville meant that on average anyway rather than the manager is exactly worth 10 points alone. Otherwise, agree with points.
