There's a long way to go but its good to have opened up a 3 point gap over them so early in the season. We may have to win the league on points this time around because Slur Alex has said we won't outscore them this season and they have obviously got the best ever strike force in the world since football began.
Without Wio, Jonesy, Smalling and Johnny (I didn't rape her) Evans they restricted Everton to one goal tonight. When they played them at the business end of last season they conceded 4 with their recognised defenders playing. Can't wait for them to return!
Danny Wellbeck looked like his nose had been pushed out tonight. During the 4-4 draw (when they won the title for the 20th time (at 4-2)) The Wellbeck and Rooney partnership were the best thing since sliced bread (barmcakes). From 4 goals to no goals must be a bit worrying for nited.
Whilst we stuttered over the finishing line yesterday we won and with a bit of better finishing we could have been 4-0 up before Southampton got back in the game. With a bit of better finishing tonight from Everton then nited could easily have lost by 3 or 4.
We have a winning habit and have won our last 7 premier league games on the spin. Nited have a bit of a losing habit having lost 3 and drawn one of their last 7 premier league games. We have the form of CHAMP1-6NS whilst their form is just above relegation fodder.
We need to be mindful though that nited are strong finishers and they always come good in the second half of the season!!
