Would be just absolutely brilliant if Arsenal managed something against them at the weekend - with the congestion in the upper half of the table it takes so little for them to be dragged down a couple of places into a battle to remain in the Champion's League spots - goes for anyone really that is remotely close to the top of the Table.
Ho ho ho
One might also say Sheffield UTD have worked hard at what worked so well for them last season and reaped the rewards tonight
One might also say that the first time since early season Ole has rotated outside of his most trusted best 14-15 as we have had to all season he came unstuck

Games this calendar year..
Our best form this calendar year came when Jota was playing and after Virgil got his injury.
I know it flies in the face of the narrative but they are the cold hard facts.
@Steveo - what narrative? (I haven't been followint the thread tbh)
That a team is better without losing its most in-form player? Yes, it kills that one.
I don't think anyone with half a brain really thinks that VVD just coming back will solve all our problems. But equally noone with half a brain expects us to do worse with him either.

That the drop in form has been almost exclusively down to injuries. Results point to something else happening.
19 also seems to be suggesting that playing the same group of 14 players is the key to every teams success.. I am suggesting that IF you do that ( while almost impossible in the real world ) the chances of a crash and drop in form are extremely high.
Then I'm not sure I agree tbh. As you said - our best form was before Jota got injured. That was a huge contributing factor to the drop in results imo.

Yes but much of that period was without Virgil and Gomez and with Fab at the back - so a very different setup to that which had gone before.
EDIT:for clarity - The form started to slide last from last January not specifically this autumn.
