Everyone shitting their knickers, or thinking we're in a terrible position

We are on pretty much a similar amount of points as we were after the same amount of games as last season.

We haven't been great recently but we're still in a good position, we'll sort it out. It's a marathon remember.

Villa are pretty good and it's not ideal going there with players missing but we still have a much better team than them, I wouldn't take any of theirs over ours. Get our heads straight and we still have more than enough good players available to beat them.

Yes we do. Everyone fit and we are still the best side in the league. We need to get over the players that have left and stop using that as an excuse. If they don't want to be here they leave that is Pep's philosophy.

Yes agreed, but Pep's way is really tough to keep up with, Bernado keeps alluding to this. Understandable that older players look to get out when they can....problem is the recruitment of replacements has been dire, doesn't seem like we have a strategy anymore....Gvardiol could be the exception.....typical CH start for us in first season like Dias and Laporte ...COULD come good in season's 2 and 3 but Kov, Nunes..Philips of course......all been poor and without much thought it seems

Unbelievable. Almost all of his bookings have been completely avoidable

They have it's frustration at not being protected and reffed differently, numerous spurs players kicked the ball away but only Jack was booked.....Rodders first foul a booking after spurs were having a kicking session.

Not excusing either yellow but maybe just maybe they'd have acted differently if similar offenses had already been punished.

Of course we are the best side in the league and if we do the things we can often enough we will end up with more points than the rest.

The rider is that football is sometimes unpredictable and the most talented , skilful and aggressive team which we are sometimes doesn't get enough of the results it should , we have blown 7 points against 4 sides , two of which will likely finish in the top four this season in the closing minutes which is poor game management pure and simple and no one to blame but ourselves which I take as a positive now due to the fact we are in control of what is happening.

We have not been blown out of the water by any team this season , the first 45 forty five minutes against Leipzig was probably the worst we have played this season and we still were able to claw back and win.

We were the better side against Chelsea , Liverpool and Spurs and should have got more than 3 points so its onwards and upwards despite the fact we will not always get the rub of the green result wise.

We are two points worse off than at the same time last season so its not doom and gloom yet and for any side to win 4 on the spin in a tough league well we know that ain't going to happen often in our life time.
