Nothing is lost yet.

The bigger problem is the injury situation, which is partly self-inflicted. The likes of Stones and Ake shouldn't have been allowed to start two international friendlies, given they are the most injury prone defenders and Walker was already injured...

My two cents: IF we win the next two games, we win the league.

Given that between Arsenal and Palace away there are less than 6 full days, and that we play a top 4 team between these games and Real 3 days after Palace, it would be a small miracle if we won 6 pts. But if we do it, we'll have a really good chance, imo.

City,as contenders or Champions under Pep,have always taken the game to every opponent.

We've won games early, late and in-between...but we've always attacked to win.

That's what Champions do....throw down the gauntlet.

Yesterday we had the reserve keeper,no Walker or Stones, Ake injured,Foden fucked by waste coat & an half fit KDB.

Apparently this is the best arse team for over 20 years....but they came with no ambition,fouled by rotation, wasted time and defended for 95 minutes.

A proper ref would've booked Jesus after 3 minutes and two others inside 30 minutes.

City had 70% possession, were running on memory but were still the only team trying to win the game....the mentality of Champions.

Ricco played well because he can move into midfield, see a quick pass and move through the lines to support the attack.

Alvarez & Bob to start on Weds, Vikingo & Phil off the bench ?
 
thinkin the exact same!

Only 3 out of our remaining fixtures I am really concerned over Villa this Weds and Brighton & Spurs away. Add Palace aswell tbf.

Both Liverpool & Arsenal play United/Spurs etc

Plenty to play, too many over reactions on here.
It's not looking fantastic but from what we've been through over the years to get to be Champions you'd think more would still have faith.

However, I think if we don't get 3 points v Villa it gets to almost a 2018/19 position.
 
Nah Chelski are mid table and crap. Palace the same.

When do we think Ale, Walker and Stones return?
Chelsea have draws against City, Liverpool and Arsenal, and have beaten Spurs in the league. They beat Villa in the FA Cup, and should have beaten Liverpool in the Carabou final.

They're not an average side, they're a side with good players having a poor season. The problem is that they have enough good players to raise their game for a big occasion. Given the problems we've had with them so far this season, it's definitely not an easy game.
 
Three points off the top is a challenge because Arse and the dippers are grinding out results, but they both have away local derbies to play, they both have the rags away who although shite will probably turn up for those games and Liverpool also have Villa away. Our hardest game on paper is Villa on Wednesday, and if we beat them I can see us putting a better run together than both our rivals. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be tight, and the bookies have rightly got Liverpool as favourites but it’s all to play for.
