Man U are just a mixture of excellent players, who manage to find wins, but they don’t produce the play that Man City do. They seem to win though small periods of decent play rather than being consistently good throughout like Man City. If the competition was strong Man U wouldn’t be up there.
Liverpool could pip Man City if they get players back, but maybe too late by the time they get themselves together.
Leicester are playing very well, they have a decent squad and probably the second best performing team at the moment, and have had horrendous injury problems at the start of the season, so they could very well stay in the mix if they stay injury free.
Spurs will do a Spurs, Chelsea are dreadful, Everton are very good but don’t have the experience to get over the line.

Don't forget they have 47 first team players out injured, apparently...
27 shots doesn't make LFC a poor side - But at the moment they are certainly not as effective as the last 2 years - For whatever reason that is - Great for a tight title race though - But remember the 'decline' YTD of LFC has made a lot of this possible and not so much a marginal 'gain' by others - Looks to be playing in to the hands of MCFC who look like they are finding their form to hit 90 plus points again - That could well be the difference as you don't see others reaching that land mark - I don't know how the odds have changed in the last 1-2 months for a MCFC title
3 points out of the last 15 for LFC - Only Newcastle and Wolves are worse than this - And this is clearly the difference between a front running LFC and a tight title race
Fancy Burnley achieving what MUFC dare not try to achieve
Who is the money on for the next managerial change - Newcastle or Chelsea - I know which I'd prefer/hope for
Sauerkraut.
Bruno had an off day. It happens - rarely, thankfully.
Priority was to stay top of the League. Which we did. Now 6 clear of that lot.
Fergie would have played it with exactly the same tactics.
Sunday could be a very interesting game
Maybe we should play 10 up front like Bielsa....
The fact that they could be further ahead is the point - You know as well as I do that he blew it last year in 2/3 semis and the performance this year against Chelsea, Arsenal and MCFC was very bland and not much more enterprising against LFC - Yet he has the talent on the pitch to do more - I repeat, IMO, he appears to play not to loose first
You have made the point several times that Ole 'chickened out' with his tactics. My point was that he didn't - he played a very astute game, took a point, stayed top of the table and if one of the best 2-3 chances of the game had gone in, he would have won it.
I mentioned Bielsa as an example of how going all out to win it more often than not results in coming away with nothing.
Ref MB - I think his game plan, overall, will be fine for us for now, but will need to be refined to move further up the table next year etc - But the question is also, is it the game plan that is wrong, or the execution of the game plan ? - Take into account most of the players he has used for the bulk of this year, were playing at a level below PL for many years - Either way I agree it has its problems for LUFC long term - The greatest asset they have right now is an energy level that few can match, but of course it won't and hasn't worked in all games - I know it is a different game now, but IMO one of the greatest teams ever, Brazil 1970, played with 1 attack all attack and what many did not know is that all 5 forwards, 7-11 - Jarazinho, Gerson, Tostoa, Pele and Revalino (sorry about any bad spellings) were all #10's at club level
Did you watch the Crawley and Brighton games?
