Still can't remember him making 2 such blatant errors in one game. Anyway, it's down to our lot now. How much do they want to get in the CL? Need to get into Villa right from the start tomorrow and hope that their keeper doesn't have yet another blinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about when we were bottom of the league 5 seasons ago, not winning, losing when we could have drawn, in poor form - what happened after that? Escaped relegation with a game to spare, finishing the season in 14th. People saying 'we don't deserve Europe', 'we'll finish 7th', 'guaranteed to lose out' etc etc is fvcking boring now. We're 3rd. Even if we lose tomorrow, we're still 3rd. There's more than enough games to get enough points to qualify for Europe while other teams around us take points off each other. Until it's mathematically impossible to qualify/not qualify for CL, we are still in within a shot and I have faith in the manager & players to turn it around. We, as 'fans', need to get behind the squad and show them we still believe in them. If not before now, then starting tomorrow. /birchtalk. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a strong Feb and good start to March but the only big sides they played have been both North London sides, both at home, and both results were draws.

Yes if we lose and man united win again we would be 2 points ahead of them still but it will be a miracle to finish top 4? Come on fella the glass isn't empty is it? It's at least half empty right?

kingfox Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 2 minutes ago, Sunbury Fox said: Thought Fernandes wasn't great today. Yes, he set up the first goal but only because of terrible defending and even worse goalkeeping. Other that hardly touched the ball. He’s been more influential in other games but it’s clear that he’s made a big difference to them since joining. United have players that suit games like today, play balls down the side to James and Martial and have them scare the shit out of Man City’s defence. United especially earlier in the season looked similar to us under Puel, look dangerous against the big teams, struggle to breakdown the lesser teams. But since Fernandes has come in they’ve showed improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 Another take on our CL chances, from fivethirtyeight. (They assume 5th place will qualify) before the Manchester derby: 93% after the Manchester derby: 93% We simply have to take care of our own business. If you don’t like our chances, you just don’t think we’re worth a damn for the run in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could see the world from your view maybe then I could see something in humanity. I still doubt that if we lose to villa we qualify for europe this is a younger squad then the great escape one. I don't think they have the mental fortitude to come back from a loss now. At least enough to the point where we can win enough games to get back to a position where we are firm favourites for the top 4. Only time will tell anyway I wont have a go at you for being positive. I agree to disagree here. I hope I am wrong anyway sevilla at home was one of the best days of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means we'll have to win a few. To say it's all over is insane. It's only natural when teams chasing us look good and we only just scraped through against a poor championship side, unless there's a complete transformation in the side I'd say he has a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 Shame that Ederson decided to be an absolute horror show today plus Man City not looking remotely bothered but the situation hasn't changed in terms of us badly needing to sort ourselves out. We'll know more by this time next week, we play twice and Man United are at Tottenham. If it is two points then we're on our way to being done, yet it could be 8-11. The team can go one of two ways now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 gap is getting worryingly close, 5 points is barely anything although it is effectively 6 with goal difference. Typical for Man City and Pool to maximise points against us but drop to Manchester United which has helped them get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
