We’ve got a bit of a cushion. Today was a chance to squash a title rival and we haven’t taken it sane when we’ve played against Liverpool and City as well.
5 clear of City at this stage of the season ain’t the worst place to be, sitting at the top no less. I’m certain this City side will drop quite a few points down the road. So just gotta keep winning our games so the gap between us and City keeps widening over the course of the season.
What is also massively important in this congested period is the squad we have and a lot of players returining from the injuries precisely when we need a big squad the most.
A lot of them may not be at their best shape, but even if some can have a good impact for a half an hour here and there it’s big for us.
I’m quite confident about this period precisely because of the size of our squad, it’s only those Villa games that are a worry, no matter what shape we’re in
Emery just LOVES sticking it to us recently, doesn’t he??
