My teeth grinding stress dream had us lose this 2-0
A level of anti jink posts are required to balance the expected 5-0 wins so there you go.
Nope. It’s our first away 3pm kick off of the season.
Not that this is a must win but if we drop points again we are 100% in a slump with points dropped in 4 of our last 7 in the league and only 1 win in 5.
Brentford are strong at home with Mebuemo and Wissa.

If we don’t win i think we stop being favourites for the title. I still think we’ll get there but it would be further signs of burnout (mental and physical)
Slot said in his last press conference we're in fitter shape than we were at the start of the season.
I think it's more a case that teams have adjusted to his game, to an extent, but also the better performing players from that period, Jota, Konate, Tsimi and Ali have all been injured or returning to fitness.
I expect we are now in a position where they have all got enough minutes under their belt to return to decent form. And with Chiesa Elliott and Danns available we have even more options to turn games.
For me there's plenty of reasons to be positive, we just need that good win to get things rolling again.

Burn out after 4 months of 9 months season?
Wasn’t Slot regime supposed to bring more calm and less energy football.
I personally don’t think it’s burn out, I think we have gone back to sloppy at key moments and that seems to be with certain players doing their job.
Yep. We showed on Tuesday we aren’t burnt out because we absolutely battered Forest for the final 30. We just couldn’t get it together the first 60.
Don’t be silly, burnout wasn’t a factor last year as we didn’t have as many minutes in our legs as others. Or so some would have us believe.
I actually don’t think we are there yet but we will be very soon if Slot keeps picking his core in all games like he has mostly done. He must rotate more.
We really are kneejerk fans. Win 3-0 today and we will cost the title and all is well and it’ll be blip? What blip? Lose and the world is falling in, FSG are cunts, we don’t strengthen from a position of strength, penny pinching cunts, Slot not rotating enough, Salah having is annual post Xmas fall off, too thin a squad with not enough consistent or fit players and somehow Dann’s will continue to be the answer even though he’s played about 4 games.
They tired.
We played at walking pace until Jota came on.
Remind me closer to kick off.
