A lot will depending on when Kane returns. They seem so reliant on him. I’m sure when he is back, their form will pick up. 

2 months ago Jose and Spurs were top of the league and basking in back to back home victories over Man City and Arsenal.

Now they're behind us LOL.

Such a strange season ....

Wow, how much they rely on Harry Kane and he must be considering jumping ship if he wants to win things in his career.

Jose's football has become duller than ever. A few months I thought he'd got his mojo back but no, he does appear to lack the ideas to compete at the very top these days.

I think the reliance on Kane thing is hugely exaggerated by the media, they were on the slide way before Kane got injured. Liverpool battered them in the first half with Kane on the pitch, Fulham drew with them and deserved the win with Kane featuring, Leicester win and other examples whilst Kane was fit. 

The truth is Kane and Son were unreal in the first part of the season and now teams have worked out that Kane will drop off and create space for Son to run into, teams have started to restrict that space in behind and Mourinho doesn't seem to have any other plan. 

Although Spurs were poor against us, without Reguillon they could no go three at the back.

Villa 1-0 after 2 mins 

 

hope arsenal lose 

How did we lose against Arsenal.. They are sh*te

@CFCPys: John Terry’s reaction to Villa scoring vs Chelsea and Villa scoring vs Arsenal has me crying man 😭😭😭😭😭😭https://twitter.com/burnerrrr1000/status/1358041851572477954/video/1

🤣

Impressed with Villa so far. Their improvement this season has been phenomenal. Must be the Chelsea influence of JT, Barkley and Traore.

Welcome back Arsenal. Good start to the football weekend.

Grealish is great to be honest.

Arsenal back to being the dross we knew they were. And we made them look like world beaters. That win, like the cup final in august, papered over the cracks. Particularly the December loss, it said more about how sh*t we were than how good they were. Most teams would have beaten us that day - and I’m talking throughout the football league too

10th and the bottom half teams have a game or 2 in hand.

Arsenal is so bad. If we hadn't played that awful match at the Emirates they would've probably be in the relegation zone lol

Such an awkward position that for players who take up coaching/managing roles against other teams though isn't it? Because they can't not celebrate or it looks terrible for the team they're at.

We've had some embarrassing moments against Arteta as a club imo. That recent loss, however the f**k that happened, that 2-2 draw what the f**k... And the Cup final for obvious reasons. 

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told BBC Sport: “I’m extremely disappointed to lose and the way we lost it. We were the better team. We controlled every department but we gave them the ball. We gave them another three big chances. Then when we had to score the goal, we didn’t find the right pass or the right shot.

"They were better in the boxes and that’s how you win games. We created enough opportunities. We didn’t score, we cannot win the game."

What on earth is Arteta on about 😄

We're sh*t but no no no we're not sh*t, but yeah we're sh*t..

This surprisingly chaotic Newcastle game is a bit of a subversion of that Butch quote which Joey Cole shared when he died:

“These days you play on bowling greens, we played underneath the grass young man”.

Yup our last 3 against Arsenal were a right embarrassment to us, arguably the 3 most embarrassing performances and results under Frank 

So what do we want in Everton vs United? Personally want an Everton win, bring United back down to earth and keep them away from the title.

I'll be happy either way. Everton losing is good for us in the table since they have two games in hand over us right now. But I can't deny United losing is always good, especially now.

I think a draw for me although I think Everton will win. Don’t want Everton to get too many ahead of us. 
Really think Utd are going to come back to us over the next 5/6 matches, surely their luck can’t continue.

I personally dont see Everton as a threat. One of those games in hand is City so a very likely defeat. 

Them, Saints, West ham, Spurs, sorry just dont see them as threats at the mo. United are some ways off but a very slim chance to catch if we put together a long undefeated run that includes mostly wins.
