It merely pointing out that posters are flapping like fuck that we could ONLY be 13 points clear tonight.

I know. No need for flapping.

But that refusal to accept defeat or a draw is what's won us so many late points and is partly why we are so far ahead. Look at how the rags downed tools against Spurs in the week. Contrast with how we played against Liverpool at 4-1 down. We should never be "happy" with a point.

Disappointing to draw the game from awinning position especially as that goal was coming for a long time. Issue is Aguero just offers nothing unless the ball is on a plate in the box for him now and although Sterling missed a sitter I would have thrown him up top and Diaz on for Aguero.

Oh well. Healthy lead still and no injuries.

Blimey
 
The no win in three mentioned above were three of the five most difficult away games left so that makes it a little less worrying.

Though as the next one is Arsenal and days after we play them in the final we really need to watch this does not become a psychological downer of losing form away from home at a crucial time.

Easier said than done though given our injuries and the number of games we are playing.

We need only to focus on one thing - getting this league won. All the talk of records and when we will win it and guards of honour are distracting. Hopefully the players don't buy into that as it can lead to distraction from taking it one game at a time.

We will win it when we win it and it likely will not be a record. So stop worrying and just play each game one after the other.

This is a point in the right direction. It could have been none and after how well we played that would have been very disappointing.

thought Burnley played well. Not anything snazzy just good defending, getting back and keeping pressure on players on or near the ball. There's nothing wrong with a long ball especially when they are going up against a defense who aren't the quickest, catch something in transition and get a quick goal. I'm not a tactical genius but their style of play today not surprised where they are in the table they'll grind out a lot of teams.

As for us, clearly missing d.Silva and Sane. Thought Kun played well, worked hard. He didn't disappear. Sterling, shit happens. He'll score more.

Not mad about this need something like this to keep focus. Not like it's a cup game and we're out.

Happy with no injuries in some ways I would have preferred this result than losing another player for a while.

Silva and Stones to return next week so that has to be a plus for us.

You would think they would prefer us to be 13 points behind.
