Yeah I agree. we don't really want to let the gap get any bigger but we are in the group going for it and we have the experience of getting it so there is a chance.We're currently in 6th place, equal on points to United in 5th. Our form and position is improved under Jose - the first 12 games under Poch we had 14 points, and now after another 12 league games under Jose we have 34 points. I may be an optimist but I'm hoping we can continue to see our form improve, and at the very least we're aiming for 5th especially as we're already equal with 5th on points. Your prediction of 7th is pretty pessimistic. The tough challenge will be to reel in Chelsea, but considering they were on 26 points after 12 games and are a now on 40 points, we have already halved the deficit and their form is in the opposite trend to ours. To overcome a 6 points deficit to Chelsea with 14 games remaining (incl. one game against each other) is not impossible, so let's get behind the team and see where we end up!
The problem we have is our next game with Man City may put us a bit further away from the pack.
