Glad it's over and always happy to take a point at OT.
So looking forward to next few weeks what are we thinking?
Similar side v Plymouth? For me yes and take the risk, if we go out we go out, Swansea in the league and the second leg of league cup are now bigger games than the FA cup game, pains me to say it as I love cup runs and more games to watch but right now we will struggle with an FA cup run I'd say, but happy if we get through too as at least it's a home draw v Wolves.
Two huge PL games on the horizon v two excellent sides in Spurs and Chelsea, I watched Spurs yesterday and they were brilliant especially Alli Kane and Wanyama Dembele is a great, powerful pairing, going to be a really tough game.
Then Chelsea who were also excellent yesterday although Leicester were very bad at the back, still was a test for Chelsea after losing to Spurs and they flew through it.
How we all feeling overall? I'm a happy red, have been disappointed a few times this season but not very often, the only time I've been angry with us is throwing away the Bournemouth game, that fecking sucked balls.
So United games done

Spurs and Chelsea are far better sides than United, I do see us slipping out of the top 4 in the coming weeks.
We seem to have lost all momentum, hopefully Coutinho back will help but we also need Matip and Mané back in the side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs aren't far better. We beat them without them laying a glove on us recently.
Chelsea are better than everyone right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well Chelsea aren't better than us. We just comfortably beat them a few weeks ago.
Never troubled us once
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We also beat you a few weeks before and are 7 points ahead of you?

I think both Chelsea and particularly Spurs don't have the greatest of squad depths, so its all to play for in my opinion.

Difference was that the first game it was an even game and could've gone either way but the second we was far better than you.
So to suggest Chelsea are better than everyone right now is incorrect

Spurs have depth just not in the striker position

We are in very good shape for top 4 imo.
Title was always a massive ask and while I can't rule it out, it's not likely.
I have said for a while I expect top 3 and still do.
We have 10 games left at Anfield where we rarely lose, and the 7 away games we face only 1 of the top 8 (Man City) and we have a decent record against City too.
No reason we can't finish 2nd or 3rd IMO. If we win the Chelsea and Spurs games then the title will still be in reach.

We've played 21 games, 12 away, 9 at home. We've got City away from the top six, and that's it. No room for complacency, I accept, but, not a bad place to be.
No, we haven't got experienced strength in depth, but, trust our manager. As and when we are back in Europe, and probably not before, if he hasn't got the requisite numbers of experienced players, he will buy. Common sense dictates that.

I am.shicked how well.we have done with that team.out there. All to play for, for all 6 teams. I think chelsea spurs arsenal and Liverpool playing for title and top 4. United and city playing for top 4.

I'm actually a lot more confident after yesterday.
I'm confident in the manager who changed the shape and adapted to injuries.
I'm confident in the squad given who we put out yesterday (although TTA got roasted a bit) given that we got a deserved point away at OT.
Overall I'm very confident that when we have Matip, Henderson and Coutinho back, fit, and then Mane we'll go on a run from Feb onwards.
Cheslea is a tough game, so is Spurs, but two points from that and we'll be in a very good position.
I'd absolutely play the kids against Plymouth again. They bossed the match really and I'm confident we'll see them off.
