The most important thing about the game is that we don't get any of our players hospitalised. Some of the tackles last night were more like physical assaults. We could do without having any of our players on a life support system for our last two games. Mind you, Burnley will probably be even more physical.

Great impact sub.
Both he and Trossard are superb against tiring defences.
Trossard is starting to prove he can do it when starting now too.

Definitely the hardest of the three.
A few things.
City stats against Southampton in terms of possession and shots were very similar to theirs against us. They had 8 on target against us and 3 against Southampton. It would suggest that they road there luck but didn’t make mistakes ...... we obviously did. The point I’m making is that they didn’t play city off the park or had them contained .... they didn’t. They were under the cosh like the rest of us!
They have played more or less the same side for the last three games, so it will take a physical toll especially with only a gap of a couple days. Our down fall is stupid mistakes. Illuminate the mistakes and we’ll get at least a point.

I’d much rather we eliminated them
Sadly I can’t multitask. Trying to post, eating my breakfast and having a conversation with the good lady means typos are inevitable!

I suspect he won't. We were never likely to get anything out of Liverpool or City, which is why there was some rotation to keep players as fresh as possible for the last 3. Southampton are certainly in good form, but a point is acheivable so I fully expect him to pick the best available side in each game now rather than putting all eggs in one basket.
I agree with all you say, although Ali J may have looked up for it, unfortunately the lad just hasn't got any presence on a premier football field. I would like to see him dubbin their boots, as I have my doubts he will ever make it. He is quite fit though.

Nah we will be full on best side for the last 3 fixtures. We need that point asap so cant be targeting games now with 3 to go.

Would grab a point with both hands right now! They've been in great form and it would be a big step to being mathmatically safe.
