Although they have to win a few burnleys run in is quite a bit easier than ours
It is water under the bridge but shipping 3 against burnley. Just unreal defending away from home. Scary even.

Every game is winnable in this league except City and Liverpool away.

Looking at fixtures is fine but its not as significant as people think. This weekend's results prove it.

There will be more shock results. I thought we would get a point at best yesterday. I thought Burnley would get a point at worst today. But neither happened. Its cliche stuff, but its one game at a time.

The burnley game was very different to anything else. Directly below us. They cant score for sh!t.
We're the only team thats made burnley look even remotely functional in ages.

Its gone. But still annoys me how important it was to not get beat there.

It annoys me a lot too, but this weekend has helped, and things are back in our own hands.

We can only control our own games, and our next one is a winnable home game. We need to be ready to put in another enormous shift

I didnt. They were shambolic also against us and at home. For a team that prides itself in digging and defending well, well, Norwich today again showed how easy it is. Funnily, i reallyI find Burnley more dangerous on the attack, than impressive in defense. Lets hope the hammers, palace and wolves find their mojo again but if Norwich can hurt them, anyone can. Hell, even we managed to get ahead for some time.

Dyche can brag all he wants, but for me Burnley really is the worst of the lower 3.

Burnley losing today maintains that 4 point gap, which is great. But Brentford winning and getting to 36 points probably makes them safe. Newcastle and Leeds are probably 1 win each off being safe.

It feels like the run in will be from; us, Burnley, Watford and Norwich

Forget them, it’s us and the bottom 3 , Burnley must be fairly demoralised beating us, getting within a point. We beat UTD (I bet they didn’t expect that, then they lost against Norwich.

Haven't Leicester won 3 of their last 5?

Was looking at their line up today and tbh Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes etc going to be tricky to contain. That said their backline was a bit makeshift so different to them having Evans-Fofana back which is their best CB combination by a mile.

Think first 20 minutes of that will say a lot, whether they shy away from 50/50s early on or knock the ball around with ease. They might be out of europe by then aswell. Vardy not being around is a big plus at least as his runs would kill the backline even with Mina hopefully returning.

Leicester who played today play on Thursday away then Sunday away then away to us on Tuesday. So 4 games in 9 days including traveling to and from Holland and Newcastle
