The more I look at it, the more I’m convinced. We’ve 2 games in hand of Burnley, and play both before Burnley play again so every chance we’re above them before we both play again a week on Sunday. Even if we’re not, let’s look at the worse case scenario here.

We lose tomorrow, and then somehow do what nobody else seems to have done and also lose at Watford midweek. Worst case scenario. We then go in to Sunday week level on games played and still 2 points behind them. But then you can all but write their next game off away to Spurs, whilst we have Brentford at Goodison. With the way we’re playing at home, every chance we could then be above Burnley, both with two games left.

They’ve then got Villa away, whilst we have Palace at Goodison, I know which game I’d prefer. It’s entirely possible it then renders the final game academic. Yes I know ifs buts and maybes, and there’s been some strange results, but I can’t see any way they pick up anything in their next game at Spurs, meaning we effectively have 3 games in hand to get above them, Leicester away, Watford away, Brentford at home.

I haven’t even factored in Leeds in this either!
 

It’s more than just the Benitez 8.

There‘s a little clique of wronguns who pop up after every defeat, claiming he’s not fit to manage a Sunday league team.

They know who they are.
He’s made a couple of mistakes, mostly the way we set up to try and out-football spurs away and got stuffed, but he’s made some inspired tactical moves recently.

It’s one thing to get Iwobi to play well as an eight but to then have the balls to switch to five at the back against Chelsea and put him RWB and for it to work… nobody called that!
 

I was ecstatic at 5pm
Now I'm just worried again as we play tomorrow
I'm more positive about tomorrow than I thought as they played midweek against Roma and their form after a European Thursday fixture isn't great.

They're safe now and without much to fight for, so will the flip flops go on? Add the send off we gave the lads today, I feel as if we will get a result tomorrow.
