      11 points

Enjoy the 11 !!

We all know it will be 8 points after the bitters gift Leicester  3 points ☹️☹️

11 points or not I'm not taking anything for granted, a couple of bad injuries to say VVD and Mane would sink our title challenge completely imo, and even with those 2 we aren't playing that well atm.
That said if Jurgen can add the league title to last years CL he will undoubtedly go down as an all time great at this club. Remember at this club it's not necessarily about the number of trophies you win but the circumstances in which you win them, that's why Billy Liddell with just 1 league title and no cups to his name is one of the greatest figures in our 130 year history.
If Jurgen can lift that millstone from around the clubs neck by facing down the richest club in the history of the sport then he will have achieved true sporting greatness. The fact that he's had to bounce back from the heartbreak of losing the league by a point and a traumatic CL final loss (not to mention EL and LC final losses) just shows the character of the man.

This is what's impressed me the most - how he's managed to pick himself and the team back up again after those defeats. An inability to process, learn and move on from defeat is what destroyed pochettino in the end. He probably still has nightmares about Madrid.

Everton 1-0 up at HT, if it stays like that we won't just be 11 points clear of City, we'll be 11 points clear of everyone!

Yes but theyre sh!t and just conceded when they had so many chances to make it 2-0

Not being funny but Ineacho looked off to me, don't get me wrong it was tight, but he looked off. Those VAR lines are jarg as fv.ck.

I agree, looked off from the word go

Leicester will get top 4 this season under Brendan, they are playing with more belief and freedom; however, I can't see them pushing us all the way.
If both teams keep wining and Leicester somehow manage to beat us, they could be 5 points adrift.

Long way to go yet but from our perspective "We keep marching on". Continue wining games and keep piling the pressure on the rest.

Come on lads you sound like City supporters moaning about the VAR lines. Lets just say it was an incredibly tight decision and doesn't the attacking player get the benefit of the doubt in any event. What I'm far more concerned about is players reacting to the linesman flag and then VAR overuling the linesman. Pickford certainly had a hell of a lot to say about the decision.

I remember us being 13 points behind on Boxing Day and winning the league. We must continue to be relentless nothing is guaranteed. We've still to visit Leicester and Manchester City.

Weren’t Newcastle 14 points ahead of United when Keegan came out with his famous quote !!

14 points up on Citeh is amazing if we had a normal month ahead of us but we could easily lose 6 points due to the CWC and fixture congestion. Villa could take 3 points against a weakened and young LFC side and tired bodies could drop another 3 points by Christmas. I know 14 points is absurd but we could end up needing every one of them....
