I think it will be a year without Europe for us. Hopefully a wake-up call to the owners.
The wake up call was when we almost missed out on top 4 due to the CB crisis. This is just negligence from the owners.

As long as we're within 6-8 points off 4th at the end of December, I think we'll make it.

We're only 6 off 4th now.

We are 8 pts off 4th but we have a match in hand. 5-8 pts is not much but i don't see any encouraging signs to be honest. I thought after the City match we would win against Nottingham and Leeds easily and finish the season 2nd but it's just not happening for us.

We are a team capable of winning 10-15 games in a row at our best competing against teams that struggle to string 3 wins in a row. 2/3 wins on the spin and the table would look different.

This reminds me of the days where we struggled to make top 4 and we would always say it’s just 5-8 points to make up but were showing no signs of being good enough to make up those points.

Wouldnt be shocked if the top 4 remain as they are now, and in that order. If anything, whats stopping Newcastle spending another 400m next window, now theyre clearly getting to the next window with a real chance of top 4.

The most in form teams are Newcastle, City and Arsenal. They will finish in top4. It's between Spurs and Manutd to grab 4th position, and i think it's going to be Manutd.

Unfortunately we're out.

I'm absoluteky convinced we'll turn this around, get a few key players back and kick on again. A team that deservedly beat the cheats a couple of weeks ago doesn't turn to shit that quickly!

Anyway, now the pressure is off from winning the Prem, I'm going to enjoy this fight for 4th place in a less pressurised way of trying to come top.

We're still the CL and both have domestic Cups to defend, this season is still alive and kicking, let's show what we're made of and rise to the challenge.

This is a season, we have to accept we have lower expectations, the team has ran itself ragged both physically and mentally over the last few seasons, chasing unprecedented glory, maybe they're just about shot in that department as far as the League goes, but that's not to say we won't find success elsewhere.

The last 2 League games have been a bit shit, no denying or hiding from that, but fuck me if any team deserves a break it's this set of lads.

We only need 39 points from the next 26 games to reach 70. That’s midtable form. We could get most of these just from winning home games. It’ll need an incredible turn around in our form and those chasing us to miss out on top 4.

7 points United on same number of games. We have Spurs up next and Chelsea have Arsenal. I am hoping for an Arsenal win in that. I dont believe we are catching Arsenal or City now. United next away to Villa. Not concerned about Newcastle yet.

We could have done without Spurs getting back on track with a win.

Yeah, we could really have done with not losing to two of the worst teams in the league. Doesn’t matter what other teams do. If we don’t shake ourselves out of this rut then the top 4 is not our concern.
Hopefully the sportswashing cup provides a chance for the players to reset and come back with the same hunger that saw them win every trophy available.

I think it's 4 teams for 1 place. Us, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manutd for that 4th position.

I believe Newcastle, Arsenal and City will get top4, unless something drastically changes in the second half of the season.

Agree with this. Everything has gone swimmingly for them so far but that can change. Long way to go. City will be assured of top 4 and in all likelihood Arsenal too (even if someone below City catches them, I doubt enough will for them to drop out), so 5 into 2 for the other spots. None of the others are much to fear if we can get nearer our best. Think us getting top 4 is still in our hands in that respect.

Nonsense. If we won pretty much all our games, we'd be closer to 1st than 5th. We do have to improve though. United look more likely than us at the moment, which is saying something. We just need to win all the games we should be winning and take points off the likes of United, Spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle.

As it stands, I'm not overly confident in our ability to do that, but let's see if we can get a midfielder in and how Gakpo does. The battle for 4th doesn't require perfection. it requires being better than the 'rest' and having either a solid defence or potent forward line. We have neither at the moment, but I wouldn't bet against that changing with Gakpo coming in (and later our injury absentees).

Long way to go yet - but we need to improve.

Broadly agree. If we are to get it then we have to catch one of United or Newcastle. Newcastle have had 7 clean sheets in a row but that can’t be sustainable and have drawn the last two (admittedly a point at Arsenal is decent). United look to be grinding out results but most of their recent wins have been games you’d expect them to win, rather than anything too eye catching.

Either way we could do with them both dropping some points soon, preferable before we next do as wouldn’t want the gap getting any bigger. At this point I’m not so worried about Spurs. Chelsea can’t be ruled out but seem very inconsistent but will probably improve in the longer term.

The outside hope for me is that we should have decent attacking options coming back into the squad soon when the CL/ EL comes round again. Going out could work in our favour if we have a healthier squad and one thing left to play if other teams progress. I think forget Arsenal and City as they look like they'll do it. If Newcastle have a wobble we need to be the team to take their place.

If Utd go through vs Barca then they may have trouble with the quantity of games and thin squad so theres a chance there too.
