We are top and we can all see there’s loads of room to improve, I’ll take it.

Seriously, how are we top of the League?  We'll take it like. One thing that I think is increasingly clear is how much of an outlier this season is. The bar is much lower, which in turn makes it harder to draw conclusions for the longer term from this season's results, one way or the other. |

One positive from tonight, we looked comfortable against a side that pressed quite intensely.

It’s a pity Cavani didn’t bury that header, it would have been a comfortable 20 minutes instead of the carnage in injury time.

The bar is much lower, which in turn makes it harder to draw conclusions for the longer term from this season's results, one way or the other. We're actually showing some fight aswell. The bar is lower but I still don't think we're getting half the credit we actually deserve. Too many people are just looking for the negatives no matter the situation. Media and pundits especially. Youd have to be extremely naive to dismiss us being up there. Our biggest problem is against the top 6 teams. Get results in those and theres no reason for us to not be up there. |

Also barring injury Cavani needs to be starting most games now. His work rate is insane.

Shaw by the way was fantastic again.

Fred is a monster. Never, ever stops running, pressing and fighting. He needs to get a lot more love on here.

The only thing that sticks out is the likelihood that City will win the league now. There winning games at a canter unlike us. We won the game but Oles management of this squad is gonna catch up with us. We are hanging in there but its no sustainable in the long term. |

Would've liked to see us put the game to bed but good to see us continue to show some grit at the same time.
Thought we actually played well after that early goal. Especially considering we were playing with 10 men and a man light in attack seems Martial failed to show up again.
He absolutely needs to rest Bruno. Fucking rest him against the Scouse on Sunday if needs be. I expect they won't go full strength with a game tomorrow then away to Spurs midweek the week after.
