People need to cool their jets a bit with the title talk. Yeh we thrashed United, but they are absolutely awful at the moment and were down to 10 men for an hour. We do look so much better than we have done in at least 2 years though, amazing how a few new faces can completely rejuvenate the whole squad. I wonder whether this ridiculous run of fixtures has actually helped the squad gel, as it's given everyone a chance to play their part and allowed players like Ndombele and Aurier to show their real value. We should definitely mount a challenge for top 4 and the cup comps this year, and then with a few more improvements next summer we might be challenging for the title again.
I think it's more to do with the fact that the 2 main title challengers have taken an absolute pasting in the last couple of weeks, in fact no-one's looking convincing at the moment apart from Everton who aren't likely to sustain their form.
