    Robbo summed it up best. The guys up top have to do better but same time, conceding too many. Not enough clean sheets.

    Teams that win the league 90% of the time have the best defence. That’s not us and it’s why arsenal look the best bet atm

    9 games on the trot without a clean sheet, that’s a mess

    except they look to be blowing it and handing the city to city.

    if we did our job we could be top tonight.

    Are they blowing it? 10 wins and 1 draw in last 11 league games with the 1 draw being against city.

    I wish we’d blow the league like that. Be incredible.

    Oh and to add 4 goals conceded in those 10 games.

    Can't afford to have Diaz, Salah and Nunez in the same team. All 3 require too many chances to score.

    Salah, hmmm the Afcon really screwed us with him this season, he's been poor for large parts of this season but awful since he's come back. Depending on what kind of offer is on the table this summer, maybe time to think about the future.

    We need more clinical strikers, can't be relying on Jota alone especially when he's coming back from injury.

    A clinical striker will be first thing on the new manager’s list. Cash in on Mo, he is a legend but we have had many legends in the past, we need some new ones

    Villa win is handy. Still only 2 points off the top in that case but needs a run of 6/6 wins and hope for the best.

    Annoying though. A win today would have put us top by a point and back in our own hands.

    The title is now for city to lose. Arsenal were beaten 2; 0 by Villa at the Emirates today.

    it's the fact we don't defend with our lives any more.

    First half of season konate and vvd were throwing themselves in like it mattered.

    thry are standing off, we are seeing free hits.

    right now we could be masters of our own destiny but we've handed the title to city.

    yeah we'd have to win them all bit we just threw it in the bin

    It’s caught up, they’re knackered.

    Our injuries have been horrendous, but there’s been very little made of it because of the fact we’ve just carried on winning.

    Unfortunately they’re now running on empty whilst we try and get the returning players up to speed

    To be fair was more the injury than afcon per se. Just isn’t getting involved in games

    It’s not just that, his finishing is so bad lately.

    How many times do you hear “oh when he cuts inside like that you know what he can do”

    It’s actually been years since he popped one of those in the top corner
