Zaids, you just don't want to fall too far behind two teams. As you brought up the Arsenal example, it is easy to see one of Spurs or Pool collapsing. But if you give both of them a double digit lead...I don't see it.

Am I the only one that doesn't rate Neville and Carragher's analysis? They still look at isolated mistakes from a players' perspective rather than in the overall tactical and match flow framework. The fact they're lauded so highly is more a reflection on how bad the rest are then their quality.

Former defenders shouldn't be allowed to talk about football

Expecting Derby to win comfortably over QPR today. We are in a Mourinho level bus parking formation today:

-5 defenders
-3 defensive midfielders*
-Matty Phillips and Charlie Austin

*I hesitate to call someone with Karl Henry's passing ability a midfielder, but he stands in the middle of the pitch.

Almost certainly. As HH said, we have a really nice blend in MF right now, but if you're going to bet on any 19yo making it, bet on Alli as he appears to have no weaknesses in his game.

Last season, we had a mini-collapse after beating Arsenal where we didn't win for a month including the EL exit and League cup final defeat, but recovered well to finish 5th.

Don't think you need to worry just yet ZAIDS, I doubt United score another goal this season, unless we sign OG again.

Even Lampard last night fitted in well.

Sometimes I think we fear giving pundits credit because giving them **** is the norm.

This rooting for English teams in the champions league is kinda weird. I saw the score of the United game and was meh and then I realized I had to be happy.

It's really good for Liverpool that Utd won tonight for a number of reasons 1) a deep run in Europe will hinder their epl performance 2) winning with Rooney still in the team further delays LVG dropping him.

Good win for the Clarets tonight against an in-form Fulham side, who were also the league's top scorers.

Although I was apprehensive when we signed him, Andre Gray is looking to be a fantastic bit of business.

Top three in the Championship level on points with Boro and Derby just one behind. Can't see the promotion contenders coming from outside these five.

Spurs would be very dangerous if they played once a week. More so than utd or pool.

Sooner they give up on Europe the better for them. Playing kane 2/3 times a week is destined for failure.
