Posters have had so much to say in this thread in the past but are strangely quiet now so I'll keep the topic going.
This is now a very strong squad in all elements ,i.e skill, pace , physical strength and mental strength.
Today I felt, like Crouch said, they could have gone up a gear and I don't think they were tackling with their usual dynamism for fear of picking up injuries and missing next week's big tournament.
Unfortunately Wijnaljum did get injured and joins Matip, Lovren and,Fabinho but they won again and it looks as they would have to lose something like 6 or 7 games during the rest of the season to not win the title.
I believe it is that many games because Leicester and City will drop points as one or both definitely will next week.
It has been a long time getting back to the top but some suffering (the odd English Cup and European Cups have offered some decent silverware) makes it feel even better and added to the fact that most football watchers (in some case grudgingly) actually enjoy watching them.
