It's far from all confirmed when we're as knackered and poor as we currently look. Sunday has all the ingredients for a typical end of season shit show from us.
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
Wolves won’t be no pushovers at the Bridge on Sunday. Spurs are right on their shoulders and they need a win more than likely to secure Europe for next season.
You mean we lose to Leicester and Chelsea draw v Wolves?
Completely forgot about Spurs, i hope wolves smash chelsea then.
We made this Chelsea team look amazing in defence.
Jeez this Chelsea team is just as average as us! Today’s draw might cost us if Chelsea only draw against Wolves
How?
Chelsea still have it in their own hands? They win vs Wolves and it’s done for them.
Liverpool is on another level when they’re firing up. They’re making Chelsea look like amateurs.
ye, i dont know how people are failing to realise we draw, we qualify. We win, we qualify. Obviously lose and we dont
We should have 3rd sewn up by now. If we miss out, we've only got ourselves to blame.
Doesn't really matter who's playing in defence if we can't keep the ball and our midfield can't stop them.I really can't see Leicester beating you on the weekend. They're playing Morgan in defence ffs
I really don't see how we get a point. Unless Leicester miss every single chance somehow...
Yes losing to Leicester in such form they're having will be a top, top bottling job, almost Arsenal level of bottling.
Because Leicester have been even worse than us.
I can actually see Wolves and Leicester both winning come the weekend. The extra 3 days rest after non-stop games is getting to both us and Chelsea. Look how poor they've been today after a top performance at the weekend.
So assuming this stays the way it is final day scenarios for us are as follows:
If Chelsea Lose we get CL.
If we win we get CL.
If we draw we get CL.
If we Lose and Chelsea draw we don't get CL.
Surely we can make one of the top 3 scenarios
If Chelsea Lose we get CL.
If we win we get CL.
If we draw we get CL.
If we Lose and Chelsea draw we don't get CL.
Surely we can make one of the top 3 scenarios
If we only won bloody game. Wolves are playing for EL so thatvwould not be easy match. But now Chelsea need only one point from that game.
But Wolves need 3....so who knows
But Wolves need 3....so who knows
Obviously the performance tonight was the worry. The result wasn’t bad at all. We are firm favourites for top 4 now. Chelsea beating wolves isn’t a forgone conclusion
A tired Utd with slipping form and only 3 rest days vs a Leicester in poor form, but with a full week rest and playing at home. Can go either way.
Thread name needs changing to Top 4 Crawl, the teams fighting for it are bang average, just hope we are the least inept on the final day. Dont expect with our fragile state of mind, some VAR assisted dodgy pens would be handy against Leicester, dont care we need all the help we can get to carry our carcass over the line.
Leicester improved in the second half against Spurs. They’d be up for it regardless if Morgan starts. If our midfielders can’t pass it won’t matter who is in defence for Leicester.
Doesn't change anything for us. Chelsea were always going to lose this one. If we lose vs Leicester, we're likely out. Chelsea need 1 point to guarantee CL for themselves. We need 1 point to guarantee it for us... Not too confident after today. But then again that game probably suits us more. Just need Ole to make the right selections and freshen it up.
Probably been asked, but will Wolves need to play to win vs Chelsea too? In the sense of securing Europa.
As if not being able to beat Moyes West Ham at home was not a "top, top bottling job" Not winning today is ten times worse than losing to the foxes.
Yeah
Just goes to show that fatigue affects all teams. Definitely if Chelsea had 48 hours rest and United had 4 days rest, then United would have won on Sunday.
Yep
Yeah need the 3 points to make 6th above Spurs
What do you mean? All it takes is for us to lose away at Leicester and for Chelsea not to lose at home to Wolves. I'd easily give that 50/50 odds.
Only because its against a Mourinho side and the 2nd half Spurs were content to just sit back.
I know we've not looked great the last few games but lets not act like Leicester are in great shape. They're in a horrible run of form and they've been crippled by injuries.
Can see you getting beat and can see us getting beat.
Why are people so confident of not losing to Leicester? We just drew to fecking West Ham!
Indeed
We might be knackard but Leicester let in 4 against Bournemouth for crying out loud
And we been content to do nothing in our last few games.
They still aren't guaranteed 6th as Spurs are just behind them. 6th would get EL. 7th not guaranteed EL as of just now, if Arsenal beat Chelsea in FA Cup final then 7th means nothing.
Wolves will be bang up for it.
Matic needs to be dropped.
I'd go with Fred and Mctominay deeper with one of Bruno or Pogba in the creative role. That gives us someone to bring on later too.
If stick with Martial Greenwood and Rashford up top.
This is the feck up job for me. If we can't get a draw or win against them in their current form who has been going from bad to worse then we have bottled it.
I'm very confident of at least getting draw there. Can't believe we'll go there and lose at the moment. Will be a big shock for me.
Leicester are fresh, it will be a long afternoon. But our games against Saints and West Ham are coming back to haunt us, as usual. We should have won at least one of them, alas no
We will be facing a Leicester side missing about 4 influential first team players, it would be criminal if we lose to them and ole would 100% deserve to be sacked for screwing it up over the last 2 easily winnable games
Agreed. It's totally illogical. They'll be the home team, way fresher and way more up for it I'd imagine. I admire anyones confidence.
