I wouldn't be surprised at all if Chelsea didn't win tonight , they are not capable of putting a sustained run of results together and they still have to go to Arsenal , Villa and Brighton . We don't need to worry about them .

We play Palace and Sheff United before Spurs play again, if we win them both at the very least it will put even more pressure on them than normal for the home game against Arsenal. I don't think we will finish 5th but looking at the fixtures we have left it's reasonable we can certainly make Spurs work for it and to finish even within 5 or 6 points of them after the rotten luck and injuries we have had this season would be incredible. Man United also have some nice fixtures left so it looks a straight shootout between us and them for 6th.

We are obviously going to concede a few with that defence we have playing , I doubt Spurs will have come up against a worse defence all season. Still expect us to cause them a lot of problems going forward though .

Literally nobody cares he's leaving , it's just brilliant to see that weird Man United bloke trying to mug us over and us not allowing them to do so .

I agree , we really shouldn't be finishing any lower than 7th anyway with the fixtures we have left . Be great to see Villa or Spurs miss out on that extra champions league spot.

Why won't that dafty running Man United just pay the money we want , he just looks like a complete idiot by trying to wait this out and barter with us, is no way we are going to let him go on the cheap.

Even in that training game we had against the mackems in the cup you could tell the difference Joelintion makes, we cruised along in first gear until he went off injured, would likely have been 4 or 5 if he had stayed on. Once he went off we had to up it to second gear and they started to get forward a bit more, you could tell the midfield just wasn't the same and that was against a midtable championship club.

Exactly the same , I'm not really bothered about International football but think it's staggering the amount of stick Southgate gets when you look at his tournament record . Literally the only thing preventing him winning a major tournament was a penalty shootout . At the same time it would be hilarious if he got the Man United job.

Nobody knows really, he could be good, he could also be the next Villas-Boas, hopefully the latter.

Excellent news that , most important player after Isak and Bruno , teams just play through our midfield with ease when he's not playing .

Only Isak and Bruno are a level above him in our squad , we shouldn't be letting our best players leave due to a contract dispute if we want to progress . We would need to spend Tonali type of money to replace him and is no guarantee whoever we bought would be any better . It's not as if he's asking for anything outrageous like 150k a week , just pay him what he's asking for .

Spurs are clearly better now than they were last season , however don't understand why people are writing this game off so easily , even with half our squad injured we have more than enough to cause them problems . They aren't anywhere near the level of the top 3 who are the only teams we should be scared of at home . A draw is the least I expect in this one .

Eddie has shown he can get the best out of players though , he has made players a lot worse than Rashford look good.

Difference being your squad cost about 500 million more than ours .

Eddie deserves the manager of the season award if we somehow finish 6th with the injuries we have had all season long .

Seen far too many awful away performances this season to be confident about this one , a draw won't be the worst result considering the injuries we have.

Was all that Joelinton has signed a new contract stuff that came out on Twitter a few weeks ago basically a load of bollocks then ?

He has that Jose vibe when he first came to England does big Ange , everyone likes him now as he's a bit different and quirky who tells it as it is but I reckon soon enough, especially when things aren't going his way he will start growing tiresome and show his true nasty side, everyone will end up being sick of him.

Who is 9/1 with ? Best I can see on oddschecker is 6s.

Wouldn't swap Isak for any other striker in the world.

Is just something about Man United, you watch them play and its hard to see what they are even trying to do, like they have no game plan or tactics or anything really and just sort of make it up as they go along, yet they still somehow keep picking up points and have ended up 6th in the league and a likely FA cup final. I know that's not even the bare minimum for them with the money they have spent but I would be delighted with 6th and a cup final.

We were never going to finish above Man United with the injuries we have even before the Everton game ,them beating Chelsea tonight is the best result for us . 7th should be the target and that will be a good season after everything that has happened . Looking at the fixtures we have a much more favourable run in than West Ham and Brighton so no reason why we won't finish above them even with injuries .

Its obvious when you watch him play why Eddie has held him back this season.

I also hate using bad luck and injuries as an excuse but I cant think of any other team that has suffered with as much bad luck and injuries as we have this season. it started with that Liverpool home game which we somehow lost to ten men, we then got the group of death in the champions league and the robbery in Paris, Drawing Man City, Man United and Chelsea in the league cup, Tripper last minute error against Chelsea costing us another likely trip to Wembley. Our local rivals away from home in the FA cup then of course drawing Man City away in the same competition. You get all that then mix it with an injury crisis that I have never seen from any team before and its a recipe for disaster. Its summed up last night by Paul Dummett having to play for us because of how bad our injuries are, he wasn't good enough ten years ago when we were rubbish and he's certainly not good enough now but we had no choice but to bring him on. Literally everything possible that could have gone wrong this season has and that's not down to Eddie.

I like him, he's definitely going to be one of them players who can do nothing for a large part of the game but he will then pop up with a goal or assist, I cant think of any other winger like him, he's rarely going to have a match where he is constantly running at his man like many wingers do but he will score a lot more goals and get a lot more assists than Maxi ever did for us. Its probably down to his injury but he seems to look better coming off the bench like against Villa, Luton and West Ham than he does when he starts.
