Next two for us are key.

We get 6 points then we make top 4.

So at the half way point in fixtures for us (amazingly). Is it now done that we dont get the top four or is there a chance?

I personally think its done we wont get top four. Would have a chance if our injured players were back sooner. But i think thats our race done.

I think a Europa spot would be an incredible achievement for us from here, ravaged by injury, been woeful all season, just a general mess at the club, doubt the players will be motivated fighting for 6th etc after what we've achieved in recent years etc etc. If we go out to Real I just think we'll sulk the rest of the season out. Obviously I dont think we are a worse team than Brighton or Fulham despite the results v Brighton but under the circumstances top 6 from here would be fucking amazing. Not a chance of top 4 which is a shame as I think all the games will catch up with Utd eventually.

Not playing well enough and need over two points a game to do it.

Basically, we fucked the season off.

Astonishing season for us. Stuff of nightmares.
Bar Chelsea in 15/16 when they had huge issues with Mourinho I cannot remember a collapse like we have had.

Your thinking we can maybe still challenge for the title after beating City to now no chance for top 4.

The results not even the worst part or the league position.
It is the performances & complete mess the club appears to be in.

I find it hard to watch any other club football now it has been that sickening this season.

I really hope Klopp & the club in general gets its act together in the summer.
For Klopp to end his time with no help from the owners would be a disgrace.

He hasnt made the best choices this season but he deserves more funding now because with it we all know he will get it right

I'm the ultimate optimist, predict a win for every game and clung on to thinking we'd make Top 4, but have to say it now looks an impossible task.

Just too many players gone to shit at the same time, nobody to bail us out and of course our ongoing injury list.

So I'm going for the same Top 4.

Only Spurs could realistically get ahead of the Mancs or the Saudis. We could end up 10th or 11th unless there is a significant improvement in form, which seems very unlikely. We're 9/4 to finish in the top 4 which is mental  :lmao :lmao :lmao

Chelsea are on the same points with a game more played and are 15/2, even though there is a chance a few of their 400000 signings might click and get them on a run.

The issue is that I don’t see us playing well.

When Jota and Diaz and VVD are back do we go on a 10 game winning run?

I just don’t see it.

We didn’t at the start of the season when all bar Jota were available.

Spurs will lose to City this weekend….Newcastle can still mess up….but can’t see us beating Wolves….and can see Everton being tough with their new manager….the we have Newcastle away before Madrid.

9 points from these 3 then, yes…top 4 is on for sure.

We're going into our next set of fixtures with a disjointed midfield that's already been struggling massively now backed up by a defence with it's most consistent performers all out injured or out of form

I'd love us to pull this off, but fucking hell it's a huge task

Lesser games it's not always a good thing. EL would be a good opportunity for the coaching staff to try out things and give opportunity to certain youths. Also from financial point of view it's good to have some extra incoming.

Having more games hasn't exactly done us the world of good over the last 12 months or so.

Full focus on the league next year for me. Can't finish outside the top 4 two years on the trot or we are in danger of dropping out long term.

I think next year finishing 5th gets you CL. With the uefa coefficient changes to CL qualifying.

It will go against the grain slightly probably but given out form this season, especially our away form, I’d probably take a draw at Newcastle.

There’s plenty of time left to bridge that gap to top 4, the main thing is that we don’t load any more ground which we won’t do if we avoid losing that match.

Jota, Bobby and Virg coming back, with Diaz and Konate hopefully not too far behind, is massive. And crikey....maybe even Arthur. Regardless of what you think of the midfield, having three top attackers starting and another two on the bench should be enough to beat most sides.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I agree.

Lose and I think we have no chance of Top 4. Draw and I'd still fancy us. Win and I would suggest we'd be favourites for it.

With Guimaraes and Willock out, their midfield is pretty average. They should have lost at Bournemouth ...
