Leicester and Manchester United dropped points, Chelsea were beaten. We need to win to extend our lead at the top of the table.
Mourinho defends a 1-0 lead for 90+ minutes. And only started playing to score another after conceding. And rightly gets nothing else but a point. What a difference between the Spurs of Pochetino and his!
We weren't great at extending our lead, but we didn't sit back and try to defend it the entire game. A world of difference.
Crazy that in terms of points our closest potential challengers are...Villa. They have 2 games in hand and if they win both they are only 1 point behind us. The most congested top of the premiership table ever at Boxing Day/New Year. 9 teams separated by about 6 points.
in reality city will win this in a canter. have got really defensively mean and when they get aguero back in and start flowing they will go on a 10 match run and fly away. our hunger is gone. none of them will admit it but not one turned round and bollocked Jones for an absolute show boating run into his own cbs after taa passed it simply to him. not one solitary player tore him a new one. barely any chances really made. cos nobody was bothered to get into the danger zone any time roberston actually put it in. again like Fulham nobody bothered to run direct at these sides. I make that now 4 really really poor draws and 8 points thrown away. this league should be over. its not and it will only keep getting worse.
