We just have to hope Liverpool are even more shite on that day.Only issue is Leicester are total shite.

I think considering our form, our inability to score goals, the evident fatigue, it's not at all irrational to say we're not going to make it. Like @AndySmith1990 said, if I had a gun to my head I'd probably bet on Liverpool. There's still some part of me that's hoping we can get top 4 but that is more emotion than logic I think because I really want us to make it. My 'cold, rational' opinion is that we'll get 5-7 points out of 12.Of course I'm not suggesting someone should bet their life. I'm saying that the drama llamas who are adamant we will bottle top 4 wouldn't be so defeatist if forced to make a rational decision, not an emotional one. The rational one being that we should still make top 4 considering we need to beat Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth. Games you would always back United to win if you had to make a logical prediction.
pool dont have tricky games. They wont be scared to face leicester or villa. Im more worried by how mentally weak our players look. That response after the west ham goal was just downright embarrassingLets not be to pessimistic. Why? We are still in pole position for top 4 sports. We have 3 home games where we have been pretty much outstanding. If we can stay away from making stupid individual misstakes, we should be fine. Both Newcastle and Liverool have tricky games ahead of them. Especially Newcastle.
It have been long season and abnormal amount of games. A World Cup, lots of injuries and internationals on top of that takes energy.
I've just done it at 2/1 thought it would have been lower myself. The fixtures they got they will win them all . I can see us fecking it up and getting 5th at best.Just put a bet on Liverpool for top four - you can still get 2/1 in some places - I think the bookies are behind the curve on this one or maybe don’t realise how fatigued we are / how much were missing Martinez and Varane.
Fulham with nothing to play for currently 2-0 up against Leicester facing relegation.Wolves, Fulham and Chelsea have nothing to play for either.
Utd couldn’t have picked 4 better fixtures. We can even afford to lose one of those. People keep saying all the players are tired.
Casemiro has missed a few weeks through suspension, Erickson was out for a few months. Martial hasn’t played much Linderloff the same. Apart from Bruno, all the players have had a fair bit of rest.
No excuses at all not to get the 9 points.
That's because I have seen the game before, over and over again since SAF retired.I wish I read this before kick-off, I could have made a few Euros, you practically mapped out the game before it happened!
I’d bite your hand off for that.Checked the Newcastle games and they have to battle with the relegation teams a lot, which might make them very very sus and it might even end up us 3rd and Liverpool 4th.
I’d second that, and a legI’d bite your hand off for that.
They’re obviously just looking at our remaining fixtures. All against bottom half teams with little to play for, 3 of which are at home AND we can afford a loss.Just put a bet on Liverpool for top four - you can still get 2/1 in some places - I think the bookies are behind the curve on this one or maybe don’t realise how fatigued we are / how much were missing Martinez and Varane.
Brighton were never realistically in it for me.Yeah, Brighton are out of it after this result, though they were never going to finish top 4 with their set of fixtures until the end.
It's between Newcastle, us and Liverpool for 2 places. I don't fancy us after our last 2 results but let's hope things work out well.
Brighton never had a real shot at it to begin with. Today's match was one of their only remaining matches where 3 points looked like a foregone conclusion. I expect them to lose 3 more at least. The reality is that they've been battling for 6th, not 4th, and I don't think they'll even get that.I think we can safely say that Brighton are out, unless they pull off a miracle in the last 20 minutes.
We don't either.pool dont have tricky games. They wont be scared to face leicester or villa. Im more worried by how mentally weak our players look. That response after the west ham goal was just downright embarrassing
No our goal difference is rubbishVarane is meant to be back for the next game
A big factor lately has been having nobody to bring off the bench, so Garnacho’s return is helpful
As are the week gaps
If Liverpool draw even one match, United will only need to win 2 more games of the 4.
United will still do enough, but it should have been done by now
My error. I worked out as if they lost one match, but said “draw”No our goal difference is rubbish
You make great points, and I think the bolded part is key.Varane is meant to be back for the next game

Call it insurance if you likeThey’re obviously just looking at our remaining fixtures. All against bottom half teams with little to play for, 3 of which are at home AND we can afford a loss.
No domestic cup is worth having to watch us be dreadful on Thursday nights for yet another season. I also feel like having to through Europa is more taxing on a season than Champions League.Would you guys trade a top 4 finish for an almighty thumping of City in the final? I'm talking 8-0 here.
You've got to be joking?!It's slim chances but I also have a little hope Southampton could be motivated vs Liverpool, they'll (most probably) be relegated after 11 season in PL so at least to give their fans a proud performance for one last time before heading to Championship could be a possibility.
