They're already 8 points clear. This is an uncessary complication in our quest for a repeat CL finish but well done to them. The blip will come at some point as it did for us last season, let's see how they cope with that and injuries etc.

Dodgy decision with 98th minute winner coming up

I do concur with the general pant pissing on the last couple of pages here in that this group of players has probably reached their phyiscal limit, and the reaminder of the month could be very painful. Don't think we should be writing off the league though. Even if more poor results follow. We're still in touching distance and post January with players back we will look a very different team. A lot will happen between then and the end of the season. Europe is and should remain a target, CL would be a bonus like last season. This baptism of fire season will do wonders for us long term.

Worse, he could be working in tax.

Where does this leave us for Sunday? Another away game against a decent team with apparently noone returning to the squad. Eddie would probably snatch your hands off for a point.

Where did I say that? We've had tough luck with fixtures too. But we've dealt with it at home, and struggled away. We just can't generate the same energy/intensity away from SJP. Not saying any of this is not understandable. It's just frustrating. I think Trips will hold his hands up. Tired or not we were very much in the game till the horrendous errors. Just gota move past it now.

I know man But we have one away win so far. It's not just tiredness.

Emarrassing stuff this. Not for the first time this season fallen apart away from home.

Hall is the one I'm puzzled about. You'd think six months into the season he could at least be a 15-20 minute impact sub and relieve Trippier for a bit with Tino moving to RB. But there's been a few occasions now when players he could replace have looked visibly knackered but Eddie's not trusted him.

And another good chances wasted. Just a shite day all around

Yup, terrible away form. No chance of CL unless we improve that dramatically.

Miggy and Gordon, Joe have all had shite evenings too. Everton fans will be lapping it up. Frustrating as hell that this is basically happening because we've run of of gas.

Holy shit Trippier. This is reminiscent of Boumsong/Bramble. Can't you see they are fucked Eddie ffs how bad can Hall be

Come on Miley!! ffs. Just not our day this is it

Of course Miggy cant find a ball in the final third

And then they keep just backing off him ffs. That's just slow tired defending. We're useless away from home

Oh ffs Trippier. Cherry to top off a shit day

FFS Gordon man what's he on today? Brillliant work from Isak, need to get him more involved.

Gordon could have taken a bit of time there

How is that not a foul on Schar

Ah crap that was a great chance Isak.

Chelsea were shocking though. Some of the passing and decision making from their $100M players is torrid. They spend most of the game passing it about sideways before lumping it to Mudryk or Jackson who are either asleep or cant control the ball unless there's no opposition player within 20 yards.

Aye we're 7th as it stands and it definitely feels like we should be higher with the way we've been playing. Top 4 will go down to the wire again. I'd expect Villa and Spurs to drop off at some point mind. Well Spurs are already dropping aren't they. As good as Villa are right now remains to be seen how long they can sustain it. Great result tonight but City are nowhere near their best these days.

ManU 3 points behind City as things stand Just shows you how competitive the top 6 is going to be this season.
