Let’s be realistic here, in order for us to win the league we need to firstly win at Chelsea. We’ve won there once in god knows how long and if Arsenals midfield can wipe the floor with us Chelsea could play us on one leg. I expect a reaction but I don’t think we are good enough to 1. Beat Chelsea and 2. Be consistent for the rest of the season.
We are relying on Chelsea slipping up far too many times than they probably will whilst also having difficult fixtures left mostly away from home. Our chances have been blown from performances like yesterday, Stoke, Burnley, QPR etc all easily winnable games that we decided to waste. If we hadn’t of slipped up needlessly against such poor opposition you can afford a game like yesterday.
Gutted as it feels a lot like the year after we won it last year, didn’t strengthen enough, letting players go and things for some reason not looking right. I would be happy if we consolidated 2nd, a big push in the champions league and going balls deep in the FA Cup to give us something to take away from what has been a poor attempt at keeping our title. I would take it winning it every other year though and thankfully it’s not them red b@satrds taking it this time
