Ya made that mistake before! Shame United won but that won't effect us probably..Spurs however..more so

Yep. Not even really thinking about the Manchester clubs anymore. At this point it's all about 3rd.

Thinking about the Manchester clubs only in the way wanting to see Mourinho lose the title race badly :D

City is off the reach, but United? 

We are 3 (hopefuly we win tomorrow) points behind them. Its not something we cant catch. 

Our target must and have to be 2nd place. 

If we keep up with them in december, then it will be january window. Althrough I dont believe we will make any big moves, its still opportunity to get more depth. Should be more than enought to finish ahead of United who are already beatable. 

Winning against swansea and nufc will be very important, united plays arsenal away and city at home

City tho...

Honestly haven't even looked at the table recently so didn't know we'd only be 3 points behind United with a win tomorrow. You're right, they are still easily within reach and I'm seeing they have Arsenal at the weekend.

Hopefully Conte doesn't rotate too much tomorrow. Must win against such a terrible opponent. Can't afford to think we can stroll in and walk it.

I don't understand those Spurs. I guess their players, bar Kane, are a bit overrated. Especially Dele Alli.

How could you win your UCL group, beat Real and Dortmund, and after that do this. 3rd place is the best they can hope for this season.

Only stats to be sure, but I don't like the following - 

The top 5 Premier League teams in terms of possession, in order - Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton
in terms of yellow&red cards - West Ham, Huddersfield, West Brom, Man City, Chelsea (we have the most red cards)
in terms of aerial duels won, most won first - Man City, Stoke, Man United, Burnley, Arsenal
in terms of shots per game - Liverpool, Tottenham, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool
in terms of pass accuracy - Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool

imo, without Hazard we're no longer a top 4 team. All the other usual faces are in & amongst the stats you want to be top of. We aren't. At all. We play nothing like a great team should; the stats then show that. We're far off from being great again. And it's down to our midfield more than anything. Full of athletes, with only 1 out-and-out footballer
