Good luck in the championship Sunderland. Don't come back too soon!

To be fair after the Johnson affair they deserve to be relegated.

Would love us to sign that little Kante fellow. The ideal busy **** to address our CM shortcomings.

I'd rather have Dembele TBH. Our shortcomings is that we don't create enough chances. Many of our goals this season have come from set pieces (2nd or 3rd phase) and wonder goals. What we lack is one of our three behind Kane being a reply good, fast, direct dribbler of the ball.

Chelsea will be a cakewalk for them, but on their current dry 1 nill scrapes they have 3 tricky fixtures now in ham, United and in form Swansea

3 points from 3 is possible I guess

We have CM shortcomings?
I think so. Kante looks a class above Mason, Carroll and Bentaleb, more dynamic than Dier and Dembele, and more disciplined than Alli. I'm just going on this game though -- heat of the moment -- I could be wrong.

How do you score against them? I've got no idea - centre back win everything in the air and Drinkwater and Kante screen everything in front of them.

Maybe, but Dembele won't play 38 games a season.

Leicester don't even look nervous when they play, fair play to them. It's going to be heart breaking for them when they miss out on the league to goal difference.

But their goal difference is currently better than Arsenal's..

Fair play it's hard to say they don't deserve to win the title. They've had an amazing season. 2nd is still an amazing achievement.

I know this thread is 'race to the title' ,but I hope we don't underestimate the importance of battling on full throttle to get 2nd or 3rd place. They keep saying that WHL will be flat, but it really shouldn't be and all remaining games are still huge.
