You lot have been excellent, you got momentum early on with some of the fixtures then just kept it going.People said we'd be screwed without Jesus, so it's not really luck. Quite easy to downplay that now.
White injured, Tomi comes in.
Zinchenko injured, Tierney comes in.
CB injured, Tomi would come in, but now we have a 25m CB.
The biggest issue was Saka and Partey. Saka how has Trossard.
Partey is a big issue though.
Every team however needs luck. For example going to Brighton and having their whole midfield missing in that 4-2 win was quite a good element of luck.
Having to face us, then the palace game gets rescheduled for us and then casemiro getting booked to miss this game is an element of luck.
Not having to play city at all yet (which a loss would make things closer or could change momentum is of course luck)
But You don't win a 38 game season purely on luck. As said your team deserves to be where they are, have played some excellent football,have a good spirit (when conceding) and have a trio of excellent footballers in saka, odegaard and martinelli.
