  1. 1. How likely are we to finish top four this season? 0 = nee chance, 5 = can’t call it, 10 = nailed on marra

Yeah the word ‘could’ has a lot to answer for with online news these days.

Gets the attention first, we’ll worry about the integrity of the story 2nd. Even IF it transpires we’re in a far better place than under Ashley. We have humongous potential. But I’m sure our beloved government want to hang on to their No1 Middle Eastern Allie.

And I’m sure our owners have one or two lawyers themselves to fight it.

If we win tomorrow and Man Utd draw with Villa and Spurs draw with Liverpool

 

Max points attainable:

 

Newcastle - 80

Man Utd - 79

Spurs - 67

Liverpool - 69

Brighton - 73

Villa - 67

 

And we'd be on 65 points. Such a big day tomorrow.

I don’t even care that much about Man United / Villa. If we win tomorrow and Spurs get any result at Anfield it’s effectively over IMO.

The key really was bringing Isak into the attack, he offers us another dimension and allowed Wilson to rest/gave him a kick up the arse.

 

I don't actually think Wilson needed a kick up the arse. Too many on here wrote him off as finished because he didn't score in a couple of games. Isak is a special talent and I think we'll go on to see that he'll show that over the next phase of his career, but Wilson's record speaks for itself. He deserves some respect.

Didn’t Wilson struggle after being hit hard by a virus on the back of the World cup?

Well we don't know what the reason was, hence the two most obvious guesses. It wasn't just the goals drying up, his all round game was poor too. Very unlike him.

Howe picked him for the Carabao cup final ahead of Isak, would he have done that if he wasn't fit enough?

No he wouldn’t, was there not also rumours of domestic issues? Either way he’s found his shooting boots again.

It’s borderline title challenging form in the games we’ve had him.

Great graphic. I think we need a Bruno deputy in the summer, or a plan B not involving Bruno.

If, as desired, we get a top class DM capable of tempo setting, then plan B will be much easier. We already have defensively capable #8s.

Think we have learnt our lesson on this. Remember the day the January transfer window shut, the same day Bruno got sent off against Southampton? That shoud have been the day we started to search for another top class DM as good as Bruno, if we hadn't searched for him already.

Hang on. ‘Didn’t score in a couple of games’ is revisionist. He was putrid, for about six-eight weeks.

Didn’t Bruno get sent off about an hour before the window closed?

Coincidentally, also, No Bueno :(

 

The form since Fulham away is amazing like. P25, W16, D6, L3. Unreal when you think of the run we had in January and February.

Re-run after yesterday’s results (no GD changes built in) - will be interesting to see how it changed when today’s games get plugged in. It looks really tight but that’s because I’ve got Liverpool winning every game. Any slip and we get breathing room.

 

Gone for draw In Bournemouth v Leeds, home wins for us, Liverpool, Man Utd and away win for Citeh.
