Completely agree.Not this game tonight has cost us.
But draws against Burnley, Swansea, WBA and West Ham at home is just not good enough.

True...BUT have you seen our next 3 games? We could be all but out the top4 race after them. It’s now a prettt big ask. Defiantly NOT over BUT we need to pick up some big big wins against top6 teams in the run in now. 2/3 wins in next 3 games is probably needed.There are 14 games still to go... people are reacting like we’re 3 games from the end of the season.
Lots of ups and downs still to come and teams will drop a lot of points over the rest of the season. I know people like to knee jerk after a draw away from home but relax, we’re still in January...
Still believe we can do it but we need to go on a run.
Last season we paced ourselves well and had a very strong end to the league campaign. Unfortunately I think participation in CL might help that falter.
14 games to go with a CL campaign, FA Cup to challenge for and top four in our sights means there is much to play for.
The thing is, we are on a run. Since losing to Leicester we have won 8, drawn 2 and lost 1. It seems it's not good enough though because the previous month was bad and we are still recovering from that. We are going to have to rely on other teams getting freak results against the other teams soon.
it's strange the obsession with top 4....getting top 4 seems to be more important than actually doing something in the CL!
We were top of our CL group and got the most points of any team in the group stage + have an amazing glamor tie against Juve but people are worried about top 4 for NEXT years CL....very strange to be honest
So Sanchez makes his united debut against us? What a surprise
Rightly or wrongly we always sell players when they kick up a fuss. I'd say that's more likely to happen if we're playing EL football.People will be concerned about losing players but the way they've been this season (Kane is unsellable) I don't think there's any chance whatsoever anyone is leaving even if finish 5th/6th. The market is now absurd, our price tags are a million miles above what anyone would value them at currently performance wise. I don't even think Rose will go, not sure how interested Utd are anymore, been injured, not in form, really not sure I can see them dropping £45m on him anymore.
We never sign the level of player that would care if we're in the CL so it won't affect incomings.
All it really means is we won't get to play the top European teams for a year which I can cope with.
So even if we didn't get top 4 we'll be going into new stadium with exactly same squad as this season, so let's not fuck up recruitment in summer and try to do it properly next season.
Let's win the FA cup though so this season can at least mean something (unless we're about to win the CL).

We will simply have to break the wage structure if we're going to keep our players. I think that's the only way we can maybe convince them to stay for the time being.
