No way we are winning at Bournemouth so it’s going to go to the final day & apart from Huddersfield we aren’t blowing teams away at Home. So Everton will be nervy till the end

I agree it’s reasonable to feel panicked (especially after the last two matches) but Bournemouth’s last 5 matches at home...

(L) v Fulham 0-1
(L) v Burnley 1-3
(D) v Newcastle 2-2
(L) v Man City 0-1
(D) v Wolves 1-1

They are highly beatable if we go out with a balanced team of quality players.

This includes getting two decent central midfielders on the pitch so we can play Eriksen and Alli where they can impact the game.

Today’s team selection, mentality and subs was an absolute disgrace. West Ham deservedly took the points.

Cannot make that mistake again.

Now compare our last 5 away games, the best we can expect is a draw imo, players are absolutely dead on there feet & will put all there focus into the second leg the following week

I’m not jumping off a bridge just yet. I also think if Sissoko & Winks are back we’ll be ok.

"wtf" away @13VanDerBale13, but since 2 teams need to overtake us it's best that at least two drop points. United dropping points realistically puts them out of the race so that's the best "2 to lose" combination imo.

Our rivals have all done their best to hand us Top 4 on a plate, so we politely decline and hand it straight back to them. We certainly know how to give them all the encouragement they need. If Ajax were watching that performance v WHU they will be pissing themselves. 18 months with no signings - nuff said.

People are also underestimating how important that game was to West Ham. Bournemouth are on the beach. Everton may be as well by the last day.

Chelsea are our closest Competitors as it stands so I don’t see why you want them not to lose when United are 6 points adrift of us

Fully expected us to drop points today. Our squad is stretched to the limit and West Ham always play like it’s the World Cup final against us. Didn’t expect us to play so poorly though.

Fact is top four is still in our hands thanks to our rivals poor results last week.

It’s disappointing to lose but we will still make top four if we win two games against teams who have nothing to play for.

If Arsenal lose and Chelsea don't, 5th place is 4 points back. If Arsenal lose and United win, it's only 3 points behind.

If the right things happen tomorrow, we only need one more win.

It's mental that we can lose 12 games in a season and still have third place in our own hands with two games to spare. Two wins and we're safely in no matter what.

With us having lost our last 5 away league games and lost 8 out of 9 away in all competitions we can’t be too confident about winning at Bournemouth . We obviously need Leicester to at least draw with Arsenal. If Chelsea or Arsenal lose we will need to win 1 of the last 2.
