Top 4 ?

[Jimmyjoe]

Leicester is going to be the one we have to catch. City, Man U, plus I also think Chelsea now after last night, will begin to pull clear. Leicester with their injuries are going to find it hard. The key thing is to try and stay close to them as their last 3 games are Spurs, Man U and Chelsea so there is a good chance they will bottle it again at the end.

Hopefully the reds awful run continues as you know they are going start picking up points soon, so I reckon it will be them chasing us, us chasing Leicester and hopefully we nick it right on the line

Man Utd, Leicester, Chelsea. I don't really care which is the most likely to drop out of the top 4, as long as one of them do and we get in

 

[croatian blues]

Danny Murphy just backed us to finish 4th. He’s just trying to put pressure on us. The little rat.

If he told that we don't have many chances you would say the same, I think.

 

[Mashtray]

So wait we 5 points behind second with a game in hand?


Hmm

 

[croatian blues]

Top 4 is great prize. One step to the ultimate prize. It will be difficult, we'll need luck and guts to get there. Except City, no team is beyond our reach and that is the most positive thing. Also, we should act and behave like that. Just don't have black holes like we did against Newcastle and Fulham.

You could also add the game yesterday to that based on performance.

Utd are awful they will drop down

Yesterday we put little bit much effort than it was vs Newcastle and Fulham. After Richy hit the net, I was pretty comfortable we'll win (till short horror at the end). We won't batter any team in the league, it's the way we play, strong defence (again yesterday I saw many bodies throwing themselves in front of the ball), get a chance or two, nick one and that's it.

I really feel like Leicester and Man U are just as, if not more, catchable to be honest. Lots of the top 8 play each other in coming weeks. It’s going down the the last weekend, that’s for sure

They're certainly within range, and not as in form. I still see Chelsea as the team to beat, though - we 100% control our own destiny with respect to them, and in the form they're in finishing ahead of them should guarantee top 4 even if the teams ahead of us both catch fire.

If that flipping lot had drawn last night we would still be 4th with a 2 point buffer and a game in hand. For me it is The Hammers need to be watched. they are on the same number of games played and only 1 point behind.

 

[UptheTofees]

We will finish second

 

[number4.]

We will finish second

third. Chelsea, Everton and United IMHO

 

[Sporting Billy]

Do we settle for a point on Monday, or go for broke and try and win it? Not too sure with our style of play there is a difference if truth be known!

1st. City are over the horizon and far away - they've in effect won it now.

2nd. Chelsea look to me as if they'll come second despite not being in anything like the second best position now. They look like a second Man City atm, just confidence, organisation, fluidity in style and peaking at the right time.

----------------------------------

Now it gets difficult with a faltering United points in the bag but looking vulnerable

Leicester who can fall away towards the end of a season and have injury woes,

The woeful defending champions (but succesfully defending nothing atm).

Spurs currently well behind in the race but are finally adding Bale to their attack and looking better.

Ourselves of course - grinding out the wins despite being forced into extensive use of our squad players

The real outsiders West Ham who like us have the points but not the pedigree.

-------------------------------

3rd. United with points in the bag are looking vulnerable and while I'd provisionally put them 3rd it will a close run thing imo, we could easily snatch this position ourselves.

4th. Carlo's blueboys

Tbh 3rd and 4th between United, Ourselves, Leicester, Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham for me

5th Leicester, 6th Liverpool, 7th Spurs 8th West Ham

Hmm

Correct; an honestly I feel that all the top 4 bar Man City are catchable...Cannot understand how everybody thinks United are a shoe in for the Top 4...really?
