Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[Guntz]

I have us down to finish 3rd on GD with Chelsea finishing 4th.

I think we'll draw to Bournemouth and beat Everton.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

So avoidable with some foresight in the summer, difference between us and Liverpool is last few transfer windows, nothing more, nothing less

 

[Mr Pink]

We're in desperate need of more creativity to help Eriksen.

 

[homer hotspur]

I’m not jumping off a bridge just yet. I also think if Sissoko & Winks are back we’ll be ok.

big If, it seems

 

[Lilbaz]

538 has us at 97% likelihood of qualifying for CL after todays results.

Guess the percentage went down?

 

[Lighty64]

Each sub was the wrong choice and wrong timing

You don’t seem to post that often when things are rosey. Was expecting a meltdown and was correct and one of the usual suspects.

 

[homer hotspur]

whatever 538 is, does it factor in injuries and squad exhaustion or just expected results in a perfect world?

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Ffs what are people on about? We need utd to beat chelsea!

Putting them on 67pts with Cardiff and Huddersfield to come. If they lose they cannot catch us. Then it’s down to us keeping ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea .

 

[tototoner]

It's still in our own hands, still hoping for a Leicester win and draw at OT tomorrow though

 

[ShaunL84]

I can see us losing both our last two games.

 

[Super Tottenham]

I can see us losing both our last two games.

I can’t see a win, that’s the worry.

Sissoko is so important to this team. If he's back we'll be fine.

I can’t see a win, that’s the worry.

I’m pretty sure if we had no CL - verts, sisoukou and winks would be playing.

Plus the subs Poch made (Moura off, Rose off) were because of Tuesday, which is one of the biggest in clubs history.

Think you need to calm down !

 

[jimmy-jojo]

"wtf" away @13VanDerBale13, but since 2 teams need to overtake us it's best that at least two drop points. United dropping points realistically puts them out of the race so that's the best "2 to lose" combination imo.

It's really not.

If Utd win then the most either them or Chelsea can get is 73 points. This would mean we need one win to practically guarantee CL...that's why this match was so significant.

It’s technically speaking no longer in our hands when we need other teams to fail.

OK so we'd need one win if United won and two wins if Chelsea won. Surely this is obvious.

We don't 'need' other teams to fail, but it makes our lives a lot easier.

Problem is the Bournemouth game is sandwiched between these ties, easy to drop points there. That’s then massive pressure last game of the season potentially.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Team v Bournemouth
Gazza
Aurier.. Dav...Foyth...Ben...KWP
Victor...Skipp
Son...Vinny...Lamela

It will have to be....we looked shot today.

There’s plenty of time in between imo

Just like this week to be honest

Today’s game was lost in the Summer. 3/4 injuries to our squad and we are fucked basically. It’s amazing we’re where we are
