Absolutely brilliant result and performance. Complete domination of the league leaders which makes this overall far better than the Everton game.
I really hope Brendan is gearing himself and the lads up for a potentially historic run in. 14 games is all we have to worry about this season, win them and the league should be ours. This result is far more than the win, it'll change the way other teams look at us and how they prepare.
I always felt this season was an opportunity, with all our competitors bar Arsenal starting with new managers, to challenge for the league. It's the managers who take the opportunity that propel themselves and are elevated. I don't care how good the other squads are, we are now talking about 14 games, no CL and a confident bunch of players. Let's just look at the manu squad which walked the league last year, that was the manager cajoling, snarling and fighting his way through, add a bit more of that and we might just do it.
Brendan is doing a very well this season l and we know since his arrival he has been learning on the job, but it's the confidence he will have built up this season which should allow him to believe he belongs. So no more talkshite appearances and time to dedicate all his time increasing the team spirit and confidence of the players.
