The most heartening thing for me is the players on the bench.
I look at that and think we can definitely make top 6, anything on top of that is dreamland 👍
Do Barcelona falter and run out of steam?
We looked tired near end but damage was already done by then.
Don’t want to get too carried away but the performances are thoroughly convincing.
Players don’t get tired when winning.

I think they did..... However, as others have said, Derby County was out for the count at that stage.
Lampard has been a good servant to football and I wish him well in his managerial career, one that got away when he signed for Chelsea, but he was not very gracious in defeat.
The point was we never let Derby play the game they wanted.
Its why he’s given different subs a run, like Shackleton & Baker. Over the course of the season these guys will be needed .....
Ayling - how far has he sprinted so far this season?
What about Saiz? He's like a spring lamb! He's proving to be the heartbeat of the team.
We’ve been in the championship far far too long to think this is a done deal. Course we’ll struggle at some
Points and agree this level of intensity will be lowered at certain points. Gotta be realistic. The performances have been dream like so far against 2 good sides. Although personally don’t think derby will be in
The top 6

Actually you make a valid point here. I don't think that this is our strongest 11 and with others, on the bench or in physio, yet to reach Bielsa levels of fitness, we could get yet more stronger.
One can only imagine what we'll do to the weaker teams.....
Probably lose now I've said it
My only regret about yesterday's match against Derby is that Vydra wasn't in their team to personally experience what he snubbed in the close season.
It would have been perfect poetic justice.

Greedy bar steward. Don't need him, that's justice enough for me.
The whole Bielsa teams tiring is a bit of a myth. It happened in 1 season with Marseille but they still had their highest finish in a decade.
