Can I ask what makes you think that? I accept the idea that present form is not necessarily an indicator of future performance - that can be applied to anything.
What indications give you confidence that we'll make it? The following is why I don't think we will and what I base my opinion on:
- Yes, a lot of our rivals above us play each other in the coming weeks but we always make a hash of taking advantage of their dropped points.
- When it comes to head-to-head games against the teams above us, we've only won 1 game out of 6, with 3 away games coming later in the season.
- We have one of the worst chance conversion rates in the league. We aren't clinical enough.
Chelsea, City, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. We'd have to finish above two of those teams and I can't see it happening. Which is why I'm very interested in the reasons people think we might make top 4, apart from meaningless lines such as "we're better than last season" and "you never know, anything can happen".
