Yeah Kai in the post match interview said that our performances and our position on the table are all down to our defence and in particular Saliba and Gabriel being so solid this season.

Acceptable under the circumstances. It should be a firecracker of a game.
A beautiful thing to hear the Havertz chant over the top of the home crowd
To make matters worse for them, Douglas Luiz just got himself suspended for their game against us
Yep. I'd say City have looked a little more consistent of late, even with Haaland not firing on all cylinders
Dare we dream that Liverpool have two shaky Anfield games in a row means that their next away game might spell doom for their title chances to our benefit?
Obviously they still got 6 points from their last two games but having watched both, they didn't look as dominant as other games of theirs..
Yeah that's a fantastic point too. Kane really doing everything he can not to win a trophy.
Probably adjustment for the longer added time in games these days. If you're trying to account for a possible 15 minutes of added time, 66 minutes is pretty close to the same proportion through the game as it would be back when we would usually see <5 across both halves.
Nah I saw a clip recently of someone putting it in perspective. Of something like 24 games against top 10 opposition, southgates England have managed only 4 wins with (maybe 2?) of those coming against a German side that hasn't made it out of the groups at the world cup twice in a row.
I don't watch enough of England's games to really say whether the team plays well, and you can only play the team in front of you, but I think the general perspective that Southgates success is buoyed by fortunate draws in tournament play isn't completely unfounded.
It's not like England has had any dearth of talent over the years, and similar to the now-aging-out Belgium side of the mid-late 2010s, theres a feeling they really "should have" won something.
The good news is, assuming good quality management, they're on the right side of a possible golden generation. Foden, saka, Bellingham, rice all 24 or younger is a great place to be.
I agree, I believe they can too.
ESR has a lot but I think he can lack a bit of urgency. That comes with match fitness often, as he develops instinct, so hopefully he builds it up.
Highly recommend the west ham highlights - Ward Prowse off a corner is a thing of beauty
