Of course, some might argue that Filth and Arse are decent.


The team currently sitting in second place?


That game was something of a nightmare. From the pitch, to the rest of the game, including how we played.
But, still, I wouldn't go that far and say Spurs are better than Filth and Arse.

The point of what I wrote is that we failed to impress almost half way in the season. We seem like we are playing from the inertia of last season. At first I was thinking Pep is thinking another tactic, and plans to go all guns out in march/april, however, since the rag game, our performance went down a level and cost us big time.

So the facts, from my point of view, can fuck off. Looking heads on, we have problems that need fixing asap.

All teams have problems and I'd say our biggest one wasn't just losing Fernandinho but losing him whilst having 3 world class players on the physio table.

Exactly, it's hardly rocket science, DeBruyne our catalyst from last season has missed half the season, we've lost our only natural left back again, our backup right back has hardly been fit so our first choice has been run in to the ground, we've shipped minor injuries to Silva, Stones, Aguero, Kompany. Bernardo looks to be carrying a knock too. Compare that to last season when we hardly had an injury ( Mendy aside) until the second half of the season.

We did remarkably to be top or thereabouts up until the last couple of weeks when you consider how stretched the squad has been.

Leaving all the other injuries aside and just focusing on DeBruyne, imagine any of the other 'contenders' missing their best player for half a season, where would they be now? Liverpool without Salah, Spurs without Eriksen, Chelsea without Hazard, Arsenal without Aubameyang.

The only fact is we miss Kolarov. And that's it.

Its also a fact that in mid april there is a game week which sees the dippers v chelski and palace v city.

A repeat of that game week in april 2014 when gerrard slipped and we then beat palace to open up the title race.

We all know which team prevailed as champions that season!
