Think just about everyone would've had United in the top 4 before the season started. But to go from where they were to where they are now compared to the position we were in is ridiculous. Will be absolutely shameful if they finish above us.

Everything seems to be be going their way since the managerial change. Their average players suddenly became good, their good players great. Pogba and Martial returning to top form. And then in their CL tie with PSG everything seems to be breaking their way in terms of injuries. No Neymar and now I read Verratti is injured, too.

It's almost like the stars are aligning for these bastards. 😒

So despite them being so poor under Jose.. We've lost 5 games each and they've drawn a game more and obs winning now. That's it. 

Nothing else different.

Absolutely....

They still have Us, City, Arsneal and Wolves to play yet. It's not over by a long chalk.

And we have whoever we have. That's the problem we keep dropping silly points against random teams. Know wolves, leicester. Bournemouth and Southampton aren't all a guaranteed 3 pointers but think at least one we would've won. 

Tough 2 games coming up. Lose both and think that's it. Or we'll win then be annoying who knows. 

Shouldn't be in this position in the first place. 8 games isn't that much really to lost 11 points in.

And next week Liverpool.

[MoroccanBlue 5,198]

Let's beat City then?

[MoroccanBlue 5,198]

Fulham are fucking awful

[Special Juan 27,103]

I fucking hate United as much as I hate Spurs....cunts.

[Johnnyeye 7,414]

if we finish outside top 4 Sarri must take his fair share of the blame, too many stupid dropped points while allowing Alonso and co. to run riot, we allow humiliating losses to the likes of Bournemouth, its just embarrassing for our standards. Now more than ever the character of this lot will be put to the ultimate test, we will see how they handle the pressure to secure top 4, its better for me not to expect too much for the sake of my physical and mental health. Cheers

That 4th spot is likely to come down to whoever does the best in those head-to-heads against the big boys. Both ourselves and United have a hugely challenging month or so starting this weekend. 

Just hope we put in a performance tomorrow. I fear if we suffer another demoralizing 3 or 4-0 battering our players will crumble and we'll start sliding further.

[MoroccanBlue 5,198]

We should realistically be looking to draw against City. We still have Europa as well. 

Heads high

Next month on paper is not so tough. However.. See how it pans out. If we don't get top 4 only selves to blame. Man U are where they should be really. 

[Alabama 1,992]

So you guys expect us to be in top 4 after embarrassing  lose to Arsenal and Bournemouth ...drop stupid points to the likes of Everton West Ham and Wolves...yet Sarri keeps rehearsing the need for mental motivation while persisting with the likes of Alonso and co....yes United are on a good run of games but we kept them back in and now above us...

Brutal schedule

Only game that I would say is pretty much a lock is Malmö at the Bridge.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Yeah this month is harsh! Hopefully we can come out of it with something rather then out of competitions. 

March we have.. 

Fulham

Wolves

Evetton

Cardiff 

Bit nicer.. Ish.

@Vesper @Laylabelle one game at a time girls, lets see what this lot are really made of. Cheers
