So is today a must win? Just having a discussion and I guess it is.

We must win and do it comfortably. 3-0 early on. No injuries and the chance to make large-scale changes in the second half.

City being 2 points behind us & Chelsea 3 points would mean we will surely crumble by Christmas?

I?d take a 1-0 tbh. The 3pts is what it?s all about. You never know, Leeds might even get a draw tonight ?

At the minute, every game is a must win, even more so at home. Tough match away at Villa at the weekend, so vital to get 3 points tonight.

Every game is a must win. Of course, we won't win them all but that isnt the point. We must!

Three points and no injuries is all that matters tonight. Anything else is a bonus.

City won last night in the most shambolic fashion imaginable. If we lose the title to a team that can barely defend a 5-1 lead i will be ****ing annoyed.

Right. The whole point of our big squad is to allow us to think that way.

They've got lucky in the last 2 matches, as was said about Liverpool, they won't keep it up.

How about Chelsea, though? Hmm?

I admire your optimisim, 7. But a swift review of their results to date does not really favour that view. Admittedley they nearly always score. But they also nearly always lose - hence their leage position.

Worth remembering that we haven't been amazing ourselves. If this was last season we would be 4 points behind Liverpool. 30 points from 13 games isn't brilliant.

We've had our problems and have dropped 4 points in our last 3 games. We now need to start churning out wins. And avoiding injuries.

But we have played the following away from home:

Liverpool
Chelsea
Newcastle
United
Villa (this weekend)

The fact that we are 5 points clear after that lot tells you what a good start we've had. We also should win today. We play Wolves at home in a week too. And Brighton and Villa at home before the year is out means we have plenty to be positive about.

Defence isn't good enough. Reece James won't last the season. Even my mate, who is a Chelsea fan says that.

It also shows how bad everyone else has been.

Now we are getting players back and have got a lot of tricky games out of the way (after villa), we have to start pulling away and churning out 6 or 7 wins in a row with the odd slip. It's a crucial few months.

We need to pull away before Liverpool and/or City get their act together. And maybe chelsea as well.

Starting tonight. So yes, it really is a must win. And I don't care how.

Amen. Would like to see starts for the Captain and perhaps Madueke tonight.

They really should have got a point against City
