Title rivals thread..

Is this De Bruyne injury going to be yet another thing that's fallen our way?

they are deep enough to cope fine.

[foxfanazer]

Can't celebrate an injury like that even if it does benefit us. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery

[Captain...]

Not going to celebrate the injury, but it is just a fact that Man City losing one of their best players will hinder them, but they have the strength in depth to cope better than we could if we lost Kante or Vardy or Schmeichel.

He may well have not played against  us and it lessens their chances of progressing. In the other comps.

De Bruyne being stretchered off, looks serious.

music to my ears. all this mealy mouth stuff  about not wishing an injury on anybody is bollocks..it evens things up a bit..

Out for 10 weeks

Weirdly I'd prefer if he'd have been fit if he'd helped them stay in all comps.

As we move into the run in I think that the order in which we play relative to our rivals will become increasingly influential.  3 points on the board for one team before the others play puts added pressure on them to match the result. 

 

Next Tuesday all 4 teams play but the weekend after Arsenal have to play on the Sunday.  14th Feb is a huge day as all 4 rivals are paired together but the early fixture between ourselves and Arsenal could pile the pressure on Man City/Spurs.

 

Next round of games then start 27th Feb and we have the possible advantage of the Saturday fixture whilst Arsenal & Spurs don't play till Sunday and Man City have no fixture due to League Cup final.

 

If we can get the results the other 3 are always playing catch up.

more lovely games for the top 6 except us...
