Top four finish?

[Lighty64]

I really wished we had all our really hard games next. all the other top 4 have a better run in with 1 or 2 awkward matches, though the way the seasons gone so far, anything can happen in games you would expect other teams to steam roll

I think if we go to city and win we are not only title contenders but maybe even favourites

If we had a strong feb and then a good march then maybe.

It's all fine margins and the prem has been super unpredictable and that will continue imo.

Not getting ahead of anything.

im waiting for the moment someone starts a title race thread ... , i wonder if leicester have one on their forum

We have to be trying to win the league. And that's the end of it really. We can win it. No doubt. But no more of this let's aim for top four nonsense. If we don't win and get champs league then fine that's great. But I hope Poch has it fully in these guys heads that if they want the league they can have it.

I think Poch and the squad have believed that for a while now

 

[millsey]

If the long awaited Leic slip up materialises, then winning the title is in our hands. Statistically!

They play Liverpool then Arsenal then Man city. Next 3 games

Probably regret this , but think we will be top of the pile by end of February, not saying we will stay there

I'd like to think so but my main concern is Vertonghen's injury and the effect it could have on our goal difference if he's out for a while. I like the look of Wimmer though and with a few more games under his belt who knows what could happen.

@Bulletspur you've spammed my perfectly reasonable post for no good reason you git

United have Stoke at home next - you never know what Stoke you're going to get but I think United will struggle again in that game.

If Arnautovic is fit and they have him and shakiri on the either side and Bojan up front then they are well on for a result.

I think Poch is just trying to win every game. That's good enough for me.

I could almost hope they win those, and keep the slip up for later!

Three draws would be perfect!

If they get plough through those three then they deserve it tbh. I do fancy the scum to get a result against them though as they will sit back and scum are very good at picking locks.

Norwich is a bit of a bogey side for us especially at carrow road. You really can't take the next two games as a given imo.

If they do there will be no stopping them. Draws will do

You can't, but they're absolutely horrific at the back.

I expect them to keep us honest at the back though, they'll try and out work us.

But if we move the ball quickly I think we could really cut them open. Would like to see Dembele pushed up and Carroll/Bentaleb in beside Dier.

Yup.

Mertesacker will miss 3 games. I wonder if Arse will buy someone? Don't know much about their squad. Fazio is available!

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

If we don't win it this season we probably won't in my lifetime (34)

I can't see that we'll have this strong and consistent squad with a piss poor united, chelsea and Liverpool with Arsenal and city trying their hardest to throw it away.

Really think everyone at the club should thinking about throwing absolutely everything at it now. Rest players for cups and for God sake levy/poch buy or promote some attackers.

Kinell mate! How long do you plan to live?

One game for a professional foul isn't it?

 

[Ossie85]

We would be top of the league if we had beaten Leicester at home.

Still fucking furious about that game
