Although it was a poor display from the lads last night and yes we could have gone 7 points ahead but look at it from a positive point of view 5 points is good because if Man city had beat Newcastle they would be 1 point behind us.
Hopefully we will have more players back for the West Ham game which will not be easy at their ground.
5 points ahead

I'd hope we can but we have hardish games ourselves.

Well City's next 3 are against Arsenal (H), Everton (A) and Chelsea (H)
Plenty of chance there for dropped points

City will smack Everton 4 or 5 nil. They will roll over without a doubt.

Arsenal are Arsenal and Chelsea look hopeless atm.
Not expecting anything from those games myself but as long as we keep winning, it doesn't matter.

We were given a golden opportunity last night and failed to take it.
I'd rather have a 5 point lead than a 4 of course but when you think about it, it doesn't change too much.
In both instances, we're a defeat and a draw away from blowing the lead whereas the 7 points would've allowed 2 defeats.
Real shame.

You're right Metro but City won't win 14 in a row, they'll drop points somewhere so chances are we can afford worse than a draw and a loss.
Let's not forget they've lost 4 of their last 9 games.

I'm sure the toon supporter said the same on Wednesday
Have a little faith. You've only lost 1 more game than City

Actually agree with you on this.. the pressure on Silva will increase if Everton take any points off City.

This is not true though.
We now are a defeat and a draw away from blowing the lead whereas before we were 2 draws away.
Now we can afford to have 2 draws.

I suppose - but I think the crux of my point is that had we won, we could’ve afforded to drop points in 3 fixtures. That extra fixture, that cushion has gone.
