Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[13VanDerBale13]

We're capable of beating any side, just got Kane and Alli back...why exactly not?

Still in 3rd as it stands, United vs Arsenal tomorrow and a lot of games to play.

I wasn't confident of Top 4 when the season started btw.

We are also capable of losing to any side that is the scary thing atm! Everyone keeps going on about how we are still 3rd, I highly doubt we will still be there after our next league game

On recent form, top four is unlikely. I can’t see us beating Pool and City away. And on current form we’re bound to pick up two other losses. I actually don’t see us finishing in the top 5 now. So, new Europa either. Which maybe isn’t the end of the world. It’s been a very tricky season. Perhaps a thoughtful and hopefully ambitious investment in the squad over the summer, plus a full off season of rest will help. Without European comps to focus on, that means we can keep the players fresh and make a challenge again for the top 4.

Of course I’d prefer CL. But if that ain’t gonna happen, I don’t really want us to do the whole Thurs night thing again. Would much rather we go all out for the league and the two domestic cups, then eff around playing games over in some remote frozen tundra in Norway.

we will drop a further 9 points imo, we only have 3 away games left but they are at city, liverpool & bournemouth, ive lost hope in our away form. we have to win ALL our home games at the new stadium, & hope our rivals drop 9 points

you do know that because City won the CoC, 6th spot gets Europa League.

we are going to have to hope results go our way, hope we don't lose at Anfield, and the stadium gives us the lift we need for the rest of April and May.

 

[Primativ]

The worrying thing rather than knee jerking to a defeat is, we just aren’t very good. Our performances this season have been by and large either downright shit, or extremely arrogant.

It’s easily been the worst season of Pochs reign so far in terms of performances. It’s also the weakest on paper squad wise particularly in CM.

I just think our results our now mirroring our generally season our performances.

 

[Mr Pink]

I know this sounds crazy right now, but I will not be one bit surprised if we get something at Anfield. All pressure will be on them.

Think we'll still sneak top four.

But should never of become a scrap involving us.

Thought our attitude was dreadful against Burnley, all stemming from there.

A lot needs to be put right by the time we go to Anfield.

On current form, we're only going to get one thing at Anfield, and that's a spanking.

After how poor we've been, I'll be amazed if we turn out another poor performance after Poch has 3 weeks to mull over things and all big players are back.

Dunno, some of those players looked like they checked out in the second half.

 

[mano-obe]

Definitely arrogant today. We were strolling around and not ruthless in our finishing thinking we would always win

Or before it.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

I think United will stroll to 3rd, Chelsea & Arsenal are the ones we need to drop points, both have difficult away fixtures as do we, so hopefully the points difference cancels eachother out, Bournemouth Away is a must not lose game for us in the penultimate game of the season

 

[teok]

That felt like a really important loss.

 

[djee]

Awful result and have to re-focus. Will be very tough but 6 wins will be enough. That means 100% home record (Palace, Brighton, Huddersfield, WHU and Everton) + 1 away win from (LFC, Bournemouth and City). Still think 5 wins and a draw will be fine too.

Utd will beat us to third as we are doing our best to let them fourth will be a struggle on current form.

No definite-win games now...

We won't get anything from the Liverpool game. They are not on fire atm, but they are still superior to us.

And I have no doubt the ref will be with them

You're right. It does sound crazy.

 

[cjbyid]

So disappointed.

Ridiculous we're in the position united can overtake us after being so far ahead, arsenal too.

Losing out on top 4 will be disastrous.
