Exactly what you'd expect from Mourinho vs Ancelotti!

@KiwiPie What's the sub rule now? I see spurs have made 5 subs. It used to be three.
5 for FA Cup (in 3 batches) as per the rules in the EPL after lockdown. EPL blocked implementing that rule for this season.
Also first concussion sub in the United v West Ham game - Issa Diop. But he was withdrawn at half time after playing on from a head injury 10 minutes or so before. Which makes a mockery of the rule really, the whole point is for players to be assessed immediately and making a sub while it happens.

And Man U doing everything in their power not to make it a title race by drawing at West Brom. They look like an uncoached team, they never seem to have a plan to open teams up. Wait for Bruno to do something brilliant (he did, once) Or just hope that weight of possession gives them a goal. In the second half, Diagne fluffed 2 great chances and Maitland-Niles horribly misplaced a pass to play Diagne in - then again he would probably have fluffed it.
If City wins their game in hand they are 10 ahead with 14 games to go. And 16 ahead of Liverpool who look the only side capable of putting together the sort of winning run required to catch them.

Geez it's a funny league. Fulham have been about 5 goals better and although Brighton didn't win, they tore Villa apart but couldn't get Martinez. They were miles ahead of us.
-
Fulham taunting me into renewed hope with a comfortable win at Goodison. Everton were very poor allowing Fulham to score their first win since the Crimean War (or so it seems) and their first ever win at Everton.
Everton miss an opportunity to get into top 4.
Fulham seven from safety with 15 to play.

season looks all over. City will win the league
The bottom 3 as it stands will be relegated.
the Arsene Wenger Fourth Place Trophy is the only thing left on the table.
Disappointing collapse by Liverpool.

i should have added a (sorry dgomeat) to my post. That's a massive gap. It's a bit of a crazy season, so could move, but who knows, the team above you are just as likely to then knock over City. okay Man U.

I suspect the target needs to be 38 points to stand a chance of staying up unless one of the teams above stall completely - and they all seem to be picking up the odd win at the moment. 20 points in 15 games is achievable though, just need to win 1 in 3 instead of 1 in 8.

@KiwiPie Over the past 20 years the average points for safety has been 36 and has only been 38 or higher on 4 occasions - Pity West Ham who went down in 2003 despite having 42 points.
I reckon six wins / 15 left will be enough. However having become difficult to beat we now have to start winning matches. The next two - Burnley and Sheffield are critical. I actually believe we are good enough for the EPL. Despite a horror start we aren't out of it completely and I don't think we are one of the three worst teams. We have made a habit of doing well against the top teams but failing against those around us. That has to stop

Cheer up, you could go to LFC in a fortnight and secure an away win.
