Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

Westmorlandspur · Feb 3, 2019

All the press saying Leicester always play well against top six. Man U today hope they do well, but when we went to Leicester with Kane and Eriksen on the bench, after first ten mins we played them off the pitch. Maybe we can win it.

Someone on here made the same point the other day. Those two keep battling it out focusing on each other and then we steam up behind them and nick the title. We only need to get the points difference down to 3 points on the final day. I mean, it’s possible isn’t it?!?!

2 points as I don't think we can realistically make up the goal difference.

I want to begin to dream but we have shot ourselves down many times before just as we get 'closer' to the top. Next 2pl games are huge and 6pts a must. After that it gets very very tough!
For me the dortmund tie is abit of a free hit. Nobody seriously thinks we can win the cl but if we were to go out then it would increase our pl chances as pool and city progress and either have to rotate for pl fixtures or risk fatigue (which pool have taken a big gamble on imo)

Well, let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet...

I have a feeling the Wolves game has kicked our asses into gear - the first time we were truly in the title conversation and we fucked up, I think that pissed off, hurt and annoyed the players. They dont want that again

I'll be totally honest, I'm more focussed / worried about finishing 3rd right now. I'd love it if we won the title, but I'm looking at 4th/5th rather than worrying about Liverpool dropping points. That said, if we get past the next two games and go into the international break in the same position, get Harry and Dele back, then I will start looking up instead of down.

I hope so. We really can't afford any more slip ups if we are to have any chance.

Lets not be too hasty dude

I guess we all knew 2nd hand place wouldn't last long

worcestersauce · Feb 3, 2019

Having decided and I think even posted that I wanted Arsenal to win for perfectly good reasons, I found myself cheering City's goal and moaning about Arsenals equaliser, I guess I can't help myself.

Adam456 · Feb 3, 2019

I was going to say that a city win wouldn't be all bad because it might up the pressure level on Liverpool tomorrow.

Let's see how they respond

wrd · Feb 3, 2019

9 Points ahead of United, 10 Points ahead of Arsenal, the pressure is off in terms of the top4 race so we can focus solely on what's above us with 0 expectations on our shoulders. There's an opportunity here to play some dam good football.

Everlasting Seconds · Feb 3, 2019

We are in the race, I think.

Fully agree. No need to even discuss titles or Liverpool or whatnot unless the gap is 2 points or less.

Pressure is never off.

Don't know, still 13 games left. Think for us it comes down to us against the Gooners. If we beat them then i be far more confident. Anyone in the top 6 is capable of putting on a 10 game unbeaten streak.

What was the old adage?

Mind the what??

Giovanni · Feb 3, 2019

Gaps of pts can dissapear very very fast in the pl. Right now im not even certain we will finish above united and stay in the top 4 just as much as i think we are in a pl title race.

Maybe I'm overconfident in us, but I'm looking at it as both United and Arsenal have to win 4 games more than we do and personally I can't see that considering the games United and Arsenal have left, I think we should be looking up rather than down now, I know that people still hold fear from days gone by but I think this current group has proven themselves enough for me to believe that we don't have to worry about our form falling off of a cliff.
