What is it about the bigger clubs “ not turning up” when ***** games take place. ? A few weeks ago, United didn’t look interested, and the same thing happened today with Chelsea, a club not yet guaranteed of a Champions League place. Pickford had one of those days, rode every inch of luck in the book and had the sort of game I doubt he’ll better at any time in the future.If Southgate was watching he’ll make him number one for ever on todays performance.
As for Lampard , he got an unexpected bonus of 3 valuable points . His team offered nothing throughout, and were gifted their winner by a team that showed very little urgency to get back on level terms. His team are making him look like Sir Alex Ferguson in his prime, thanks to the opposition.
The team in most peril I believe are Leeds. Total free fall and wiped out yesterday. I would say the way it’s going, us and Everton look the likelier ones to stay up. We shall see over the next few weeks.
