Well, I'm not particularly worried about qualifying. A combination of us blowing our last 3 matches and both Chelsea and Spurs winning all of theirs is highly unlikely. And I'm very firmly in the "if we drop points against Stoke and Brighton at home, we don't deserve to be in the CL" camp.
However, I think it's crazy not to see Stoke as a must-win game. Yes, we might still be fine if we don't, but our lives will be infinitely easier if we do. Provided Chelsea beat Swansea tomorrow (far from a given), it greats two problems that will both cause my hairline to further recede:
1. It makes the Chelsea match several orders of magnitude more important, since by beating us they could either put themselves level on points or, if we drop all 3 points against Stoke, even overtake us. We can and probably should beat them, but I'd rather we didn't give them any extra motivation.
2. It makes it more likely that the Brighton game is a literal must-win. Again, that shouldn't be a problem. But as much as I enjoy us having so much to play for at this stage of the season, I really don't think my hairline can take 5 (and hopefully 6) must-wins in a row. Please, no.
Having said that, if Stoke lose tomorrow I think that's essentially the nail in their coffin, and they won't put up a huge fight against us. No comparison to West Brom today, really, as they've gotten a morale boost from their new manager and just came off a big win against Man U. And we should at least have Trent and Lovren back, even if we rest Salah/Mane.
