For me it is pretty easy. I didn't expect us to make a serious challenge for the title this season and I'll be very surprised if our rivals drop so many points that we are able to really, really close the gap.
I look at the players we have brought in that should make a long term positive impact at the club (DDG,Blind, Rojo, Mata, Herrera, di Maria,Shaw), I look at at Falcao that might be a 2-3 year player. We are getting a little long in the tooth but if you want to win now that is probably the easiest way.
I look back to the start of the season where people were posting "we had a better record under Moyesey" and "we have to give up on this back three" and " What is LVG doing? Why is he playing Fellaini?"
Now I see we are on a 9 match unbeaten run and third in the table and still haven't been able to use the best players. I'd say we have a lot going on a lot to look forward to.
