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 ?Quote:

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.Quote:

But we have played the following away from home:Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Deserved at least a point.Quote:
