Absolutely staggering.
Given how hard it is to motivate after 3 successive titles
After an incredible treble
After losing Mahrez, Laporte and Gundogan - the latter being one of our most important players, one of Pep’s first signings, the passing heartbeat of our side
No KDB for over half the season
Being chased down by TWO excellent and consistent sides - who also get loads more injury time than us when needing a goal
The smallest squad in the league (despite what our friends in the media say) pushing on 3 fronts
Only losing 3 league games all season so far, all 3 to deflections
Unbeaten in 27 games since Villa away - 22 of them wins
Winning 7 out of 15 away league games from behind, 4 of them behind at half time (not sure whether we have ever done this before but wasn’t there a stat not so long ago that we’d gone over 10 years without winning a game home or away from behind at half time?)
All of this has gone on with every media source sniping away about “115”
This squad has got big fucking balls, we can be, in Pep’s words, incredible proud of them
