I think that Villa game permanently changed our squad's mindset. Imagine coming back from 0-2 in the last 15 minutes of a game to win a 38 game, year long, league...Going through that would have strengthened the resolve of our team significantly...Everyone would be thinking if we could do that Villa comeback under that much amount of pressure, then we could do anything.

True. In the PL we've showed nerves of steel. As against that, the Real result may well leave a nagging feeling that we're capable of choking in the CL. At least in the back of the players' minds.

Also. Imagine being into injury time in the last game of the season and having to get two goals in order not to lose the most prestigious title to your direst rivals…

100%.
Now imagine being daft enough to think a 38 game, year long league, was over on the 1st of January.
League fixtures coming up before the World Cup:
The good news is we remain above Liverpool going into the World Cup no matter what happens before then.
You'd have to fancy us to be top going into the World Cup.
Leicester looks to be more of a tricky game given their form but Arsenal having to go to Chelsea, you'd fancy them to drop points there.

Unless they have a Liverpool-style freak season where no one gets injured and all their key players manage 90 minutes across 38 games.Just watched Arsenal get absolutely pumped by PSV after making 4 or 5 changes to their best XI.
They simply don’t have the depth to go on a title run this year, it’s not happening.
I wonder if the inhalers work the same down in London?
I think the depths of winter after the World Cup will see them off. We really need to get into the groove then.Unless they have a Liverpool-style freak season where no one gets injured and all their key players manage 90 minutes across 38 games.

Think top 6 is up in the air still! Because it’s still to early in the season, there is going to more losses by all teams at the top maybe 5/6 so even Liverpool for me still has a chance but yep that depends on us! We win the rest of our league games before World Cup will put us in a very good position!
