If we don’t catch Chelsea but catch Leicester then we can get top four, so I care.Who cares about Leicester tbf, if we catch Chelsea then that’s 3 ‘big 6’ teams out of the CL

They had this luck and lack of injuries when they won the title. I think they are better than the title winning team. Maddison and Tielemans are quality.Chelsea are too open at the back. They'll have more results like the one v Sheffield United where conceding one or two they shouldn't kills them. Making a UCL run will hurt them (if they manage it).
Leicester have the best "finishing luck" (in terms of goals scored v expected goals scored) in the league, and are totally reliant on Vardy and Maddison in attack - an injury to either would be hugely problematic for them.
It's still very early in the season, and not a huge amount of points to overturn. Frankly surprised at the negativity here.
City and Liverpool aside, we have a better CB paring than both and a forward line with a potential for more goals. It’s attainable.Every top 4 challenger has better DM and FBs, couple of signings in January and we can do it if key players stay healthy.
He was a late bloomer, didn't play at a decent level before he was 25, so he might well be able to go for a couple more years.He's 33 in January, how much longer can he play at this level?

Yep, for sure we go for Europa first. Be there then if someone (Chelsea or Leicester) wobbles. That’s the target so long as we first consolidate on top half lol.My personal take on the race for the Champions League places, in my own unique words:
"It's very, very easy to say: title? Impossible. 4th position? Very, very, VERY difficult. Play game, improve, better team, more happiness, more smiling, more confidence. Jose, step by step, trying to introduce his, his ideas and trying to improve the, the team, and let's see where, er, we are in two or three months. And then we will see what we can do until the end of the season."

I will never write them off, at least not any time soon.A lot of these Leceister comments have a weird deja vu about them. Not saying they will continue this form throughout but without Europe and with the good feeling around their club, can we really write them off?
Six points back of Chelsea with 24 matches to play. Still plenty to be worried about given the final 20 minutes of the past two league matches, but I trust Jose to sort that out. Mourinho has breathed new life into Dele, Aurier, and Alderweireld (not to mention Eriksen whose hour against Olympiakos was the best he's played in two seasons) and we've only just begun to integrate the new signings. Sort out the defensive midfield in January and I see no reason why we shouldn't be competitive for fourth place.
