We've played 5 games, with a game in hand. Win that game and we're 3 points of 1st. It's actually refreshing to see him so upbeat about our chances and so happy with the squad. It's time we have authentic expectations. The response since the Spurs match has been very positive.
We're at worst 6 points behind #1 is we lose to Arsenal. We're out of nothing
Hardly, we're six points behind Liverpool with a game in hand and one point behind City.
Win our game in hand and we are 3 pts of 1st. Negative twat.
We came from a goal down to win less than 2 weeks ago.
Really, one loss away from being out of title race? That's crazy
No, it was fitness, and it wasn’t tactical. A clue to how you can tell is that we played Pogba and Matic in midfield just two months earlier, and won four straight games by a three goal margin, something never even Fergie managed with us in 21 years. So that doesn’t explain why we allowed 11 goals and five plus in the woodwork in three games. At all. What does explain it is that we had two weeks rest and no pre season, and all three teams we played had one month’ rest and a month of preseason. Before and after that period in time, we’ve had a bunch of very good results. Stats also confirm this abundantly clear in terms of runs, sprints, duels won, xG etc.
I made the same point you did, a bit earlier. As it was an irrationally pessimistic post, but there's no need for the insults. There's less and less tolerance on here regarding different points of view.
It's too late. The title race is between Everton and Villa now.
It’s nothing to do with big clubs and disappointing players, it’s about adequately rotating players who are playing ridiculous amounts of football in short spaces of time with small respites. Like @georgipep says — let’s see what happens after the Christmas break. We’ve also got the Euros straight after the season ends. The amount of stress - physical and mental - mustn’t be understated.

Indeed, guess City are also out of the title race too.Come now, Leeds are only 3 points behind! Don't discount them!
"Jones is fit" will go in history as one of the best oxymoron.
The season is congested, which means more stress and fatigue on the players. this isn't some random rule, it suggested,and kept in the CL for a very good reason.
I cannot wait, honestly. This team is far more exciting to watch in comparison with those teams under our last 3 managers. I cannot imagine the games where we had to watch Fellaini start games (more like "Fail"laini). This group of players are leaps and bounds ahead of the pack that contained Young, Valencia, Fellaini, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Darmian and co. We are far far more competitive and balanced now. I will always be thankful to Ole for actually doing the things I wanted the last 3 managers to do which is not signing players but to get rid of the crappy ones that already existed with huge pay grades. Regardless of all the crap that Ole has to bear from the so called fans, I'd say he's doing a great job with what's available to him. He's learning on the job and I must say, all too quickly
We're 3 points off being 6
May as well stop watching for the rest of the season
Quelle surprise you would have such a response. You literally see everything from a negative point if view. Agenda.
He is, yes.
Not cuter than Chris I bet.
This post is cute.
And that's even more concerning when you factor in that PSG didn't have to restart their domestic league season either.
And yet Lucas Digne got his one taken down to a 1 game ban (which was fair enough) while Lamela, every bit as guilty of the same offence as Martial, gets away scot free.
The question was what are you going to do with Jones and Romero! Didnt answer the question
“ If I was allowed to make 11 changes I would have done so “ Jose last night
Doesn’t fit his narrative
Obsession with Mourinho is so funny. Some fans just can't seem to let him go. He needs to be followed and his failures weirdly must be celebrated.
Look, there are things that go well above your little head. Xg and Patterns of Play and, it's complicated. Concepts like the importance of a pre season for both general fitness as well as match sharpness are things you don't get in OPTA Sports and other stats programs, so they don't exist, for that you need to do the unthinkable and actually watch football for a period of time. Get with the programme of the modern hipster football journalist that actually understands the game less then my grandma.
Throat injury. Heard they replaced his throat with some dead singer and now he can't stop singing when rolling on the floor.
Thanks goodness the bad days of Mourinho are gone!
Neah com on, it's Arsenal, they have decent players. We are better but they have the attack to do any team.
Meanwhile Lamela was free to do more of his antics in Spurs' last league game.
Its only strange if you don't think he's a cnut but then that's on you.
