Sabri Lamouchi - yes or no?

I know what you mean but there’s momentum, having to set up differently in different games if you only need a draw instead of a win etc.

All in all you’re probably right but the butterfly effect and all that. You can’t really say either with certainty

I think I can. There were 7 games left after that Chelsea defeat. Had we won it we were still in the bottom 3. We still needed to chase games.

Our next fixture was Man City away, which we lost 2-0. Any momentum was gone there anyway.

After that we had the opportunity to beat Burnley, Fulham and Palace to stay up. We lost to them all. That wasn't because of one poor decision in the Chelsea match.
