Thanjk you.

Utd away done, Arsenal away done, Spurs away done, Chelsea away done, Everton away done. Not bad at all! City soon. This is like 2013 2014 where we had all our toughest fixtures done in the first half of the season so it was much easier to gain momentum and confidence in the second half of it. Dont think we'll challenge for the title but I expect us to get top 4 if we can get Sturridge or Benteke on the pitch for 22-23 out of the 27 games left.
Maybe when we have both match fit Kloppy can play Sturridge in the first half and then bring Benteke on at half-time.
That way we're risking our 2 best strikers who are both made of glass only half the time while making it difficult for our opponents to adjust to a very different type of threat during each period

I really don't understand why this passes by in most manager's planning. Its like middle management in IT, everyone else gets it but the managers are just 'there' doing nothing.
Brave call to take off milner and put benteke on....great to have a manager with balls again. ****ing superb result, never panicked and got what we deserved.
Would have been a soft second yellow but technically it could have been. Ridiculous to focus on that though considering we were clearly the better team over the whole game.
I like the fact that Mourinho's quotes to the BBC imply that he didn't think they could win 11 vs 11.

Sktrel's best game in a long while. Still worry about how we defend the channels between CB and fullback but overall we really are coming together nicely.

4 points off 4th after today, we desperately need to sort out our home form now.
Personally I'd risk the Europa with a weaker squad and keep Benteke wrapped up until Palace, momentum needs to be built there is no point winning today and losing next week.
We sort of had no win today looking back on it, Chelsea are in the worst form they're likely to be in for the next few decades yet its taken a win at their place to open up a 6 point gap which isn't huge really speaking.
Now its time to capitalise whilst their morale is rock bottom and ours in on the rise, put more daylight between us and have a real crack at this top 4.
