The media will have the ' crisis club' spotlight on them for the next few days which can work both ways. Don't really want Sarri to leave and them bring in their ' leader' John Terry before our game

Yep and we got fairly lucky in a couple of our games. We also had a really kind fixture list.

Six pointers in the fact it’ll be 3 points a piece for City and Liverpool.

Yeah, but Liverpool are already struggling, and Firminho is a huge part of their high pressing style.
I'd say he's probably their most important cog in terms of their high press style.

Gap needed to be three points right now to honestly say we were in with a chance.
We still need to win the next two to bolt down top four.
So I guess we'll see tho.
If we beat Chelsea and Arsenal I’d say it’s very much still on.i think Liverpool will drop more points this week. Who’d have predicted Chelsea 0-0 today after the 6-0 thrashing. Just need to be in and around it say 3/4 points with 5 to play and anything could happen.

Last two matches 0-0 (B.M. And Man U)
The penalties have dried up. Temporarily.

Huge season defining week coming up now, for both top 4 and title chances. If things go wrong the pack could get very close to us, but a couple of wins will almost secure champs league. The title dream has faded, we are going to need a great run to get back in contention.

I think we just need to forget the title guys. Every time and every season we have a chance to really progress in the league, we end up not taking it and Burnley was a prime example. We are just not good enough to win the title unfortunately it’s as simple as that. We need to be looking below and not up. Win our next 2 and I’m pretty sure top 4 is all but secured. We can go on a run and see where we end up, but we ain’t winning this title boys sorry.

Huge huge week for us. Win the two games and we could be back close to the top 2, lose both games and we would be dragged back into the top 4 race with trips to both Liverpool and Man City. Lose both these games then I wouldn’t fancy our chances of top 4.
We must win!

Yeah this is definitely the defining week in our season. Such a shame we lost to Burnley.
If we win our next 2, I'd consider us back in the title race. Lose the next two, and we're back in the race for a top 4 spot.

Yup this. People saying forget the title race , how can you when we are 6 pts off with 11 to play. Liverpool are stuttering along just lost firmino and city also just lost 2 key players.

Because there are no factors that give us a clear advantage over both Liverpool AND City.
Players, experience, home stadium advantage, form, league points; where do we realistically have an edge to bring home the title?
And it's not like we're going up against one club. We have to overhaul two clubs!
True, the title hasn't 'mathematically' gone, but let's face it...it's gone.
Time to focus on nailing down Top 4 and make the season a success.
