If ourselves and Man Utd both win our next two and Chelsea lose to Liverpool then we'll both go into the final match 2 points ahead of Chelsea with a far superior goal difference, meaning a point will see us both qualify.

That’s SIX results that need to go the right way. Nice theory, but it’s not happening.

 

Our most realistic route to the Champions League - the Bournemouth debacle notwithstanding - is to win both of our last two home games.

 

But first let’s clinch a Europa League place by beating Sheffield United.

Unless a team in the top 5 wins the FA cup then 6th goes straight into the group Stage and 7th enters the 2nd qualifying round

Only team likely to be outside the top 5 and win the FA Cup is Arsenal. As that would give them a EL place then it won't go down to 7th.

What you say, it is impossible.

I think you need to go back and learn the meaning of the word impossible.

Sort 5th out so we're 100% in the group stages rather than ****ing about with qualifiers. Then worry about the champions League. 

It's quite possible if we lose tonight and Sunday we don't even end up in the Europa League.

There is an obsession with lcfc fans that top 4 and Champions League is the only way that we can progress and become a better club or team. However I can't remember us making a massive amount of progress after our Champions League campaign in 2016/17, if fact we stagnated pretty that season and the one after. 

 

Is the Champions League fun and exciting, hell yes, if we don't qualify does that mean we can't improve or move forward no! 

 

People should remember its not about how much money you have but how you use it!

Most kind but probably no longer relevant to us.

He said probably not definitely.. and it's definitely probable. We're missing Ricky, Chilly, Madders, Cags and general confidence for the last 3 games, against teams with plenty to play for.

I think a lot of people can't see us getting another point - after last night's debacle. If that's the case 8th is possible and more likely than CL. :blush:

There’s a chance we finish 8th. We’ve got Spurs and Sheff United to play and their fixtures are very winnable games. I can’t see us winning or drawing any of our remaining games

It's not a guarantee for Europa League, No Soyuncu or Ricardo for the rest of season. One of Bennett or Morgan will have to start. We have 3 very tough games remaining. Can easily see us picking up only 1-3 points in total in the remaining games. Wolves and Sheff United win 2 out of 3 and will go above us.

So we're guaranteed top 5 right?

 

Amazing really that we're getting European football next year and people feel disappointed and are questioning the manager. 

Not without reason

That's papering over some serious cracks though. Yes, its great and yes i believe in Rodgers but season form can easily go into the next one at any time, let alone when we will start not long after this time.

I meant more like it's amazing as a Leicester fan of 25 years that we're in a position to be disappointed with 5th.

 

As bad as the form has been, I still think top 5 is a good achievement.
