Are you going to do this every day?

is that a request

it shows it is not just us with hard games ahead

 

[BettingBlade]

We still have to play 6 of those teams as well. Wouldn’t say it makes it any easier. As others have said we will have to be exceptional between now and the end of the season to make it into Europe.

 

[Grecian2000]

What are Liverpool doing in the equation?

We can't catch them, there is no win/win about them dropping points to those teams around us.
In reality, we aren't catching MC either so we need them to be beating our nearest rivals.

Just seen Son has a broken forearm, him & Kane out for quite a while.....it's getting exciting!

Surely these are the opposite of a win/win fixture? One team that we don't want to win, will probably win.

I think the "good" thing is that it means no team is realistically getting maximum points, all/majority are going to drop some.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I’d like to see these as draw-draw matches. Two points dropped for each side doesn’t really help them much and certainly helps us

 

[SittingontheBall]

Sorry, Btl I realise you are trying to be upbeat about our chances of Europe but this thread is as unhelpful as the one about how many points we need to guarantee survival.

 

[Bobby Boo]

We are now MASSIVE contenders in the Champions League race - according to Paul Merson

Merson Says: Where are all the centre forwards? And Sheffield United are now massive CL contenders

Sheffield United can capitalise on lack of attacking focal point at Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea

I ALSO AGREE THAT BURNLEY V WOLVES IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL

He runs a voluntary positive outlook self help group.

If he starts going on about geese my suspicions will be confirmed.

luckily we are exceptional

unfortunately these are facts, these games are whats ahead
yes we have some head to heads , but so do the rest , lets not forget its as easy or hard for us as say chelseas chances
I am upbeat our chances from how we play , nothing else

 

[munksyb]

If you're going to win anything you have to beat other good teams ( stupid statement but true)

beating the teams around you is hugely importatnt, as it also takes possible points away from them
because if we don't who else will

So it is important for us to take points off (preferably by beating ) Man Utd / Chelsea / Burnley / Wolves

and hopefully the rest will take care of itself

Either way, it’s in our hands to qualify for the champions league.
