The battle for 3rd place

[asahartford1]

How come we could not manage to get a single point off Chelsea is fucking annoying. They are bang average.

United have made them look bang average, with a powerful display.They have won every battle today.

Be positive - if Chelsea slip against Saints and we beat the rags at home - we would be 8 points behind with 5 games to go, reminds me of something.

But there's a little problem unlike last time . Spuds!

Hope all the teams Chelsea face from here and out will copy pegs tactics.

Makes the derby a trickier match that result. Gave them some confidence and I don't think we play well against teams that get in your face and try and bully you off the pitch.

They don't play well against teams who play them off the pitch either, do what we did to them at their place. Still feel we can lose that game & get top 4, but a win will make sure of it.

Because we missed sitters in both games and our keeper is not good enough

Hope so. I'm looking at our remaining fixtures and in a derby anything can happen, Palace are playing really well, Leicester well look what happened our last game against them, West Brom will park the bus so could be hard to break down and Watford are no mugs. We need to be on our game.

I've been dismissive of the rags top 4 chances, but if the official's continue to let them use their hands as well as their feet, then they have a chance.

Just have to make sure we score first. That's the key with them. They are pretty solid defensively and rarely concede more than one. If they score first it will be a tricky game.

We have to change these results against the top 6 some time. Might as well be against them!

Such a pessimist;

It was a definite handball, even so they were much the better team , tactically and physically.
