See, I really don't. But I want us to have enough distance in the table to rest people so we can go full guns in the cups. If we only have a small gap, and pressure mounts, we'll jib the cups so quick we'll have forgotten we were in them!
I have a simple philosophy: I cheer and punch the air when a team I dislike do badly. If they look like they are going to do well, I decide I don't give a toss because I am the bigger person. Win, win.
I didn't choose to dislike L'pool, they have just kept bothering my team for a few years, and making quips about ambition. Not wanting them to do well is just one of those things, but I don't let it bug me too much.......but I do miss Brodgers.
Joe Allen not really a conventional number 10 is he. Bony no movement, Shaqiri and Arnautovic not really firing, and a terrible defence with no Butland. Stoke in real trouble.
Unless I missed it in the first five minutes, MOTD2 Extra are leaving our game to the bitter end. Putting us to one side, thought the Champions of England would be getting a bit more coverage than they have done, too.
I think I may have suggested it at one point. I'd imagine he will improve with more games, but he is constantly giving it away!
About 20 minutes after he should have been sent off, Herrera now walks off the pitch to leave Utd playing with 10 men.
