Also could be very likely Brighton displace them into the conference too
Choking top 4 to Liverpool
- Thread starter Skills
- Start date
I said at the time Brighton were, yes. West Ham away considering our record and their current form yes
Fulham aren't pushovers anymore
Wolves should be a win but we seem to struggle against them
Chelsea again we should win but sods law based on our form since March we'd hand them 20 chances to score
I don't get how our current form seems to get overlooked by some. We'd be lucky to beat most teams. We give away a lot of chances and hardly create consistently
We need to win 3 of our last 5 and we play teams in 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th. 3 of them at home, where we’ve not lost since the opening day.
People keep talking about Liverpool’s run in, but it’s no easier than ours.
chill the feck out.

I hate "we need that much points" calculation; it's a weak mentality for me. We should absolutely treat every single remaining game like a final if we want to finish in top 4.
Brighton have played 2 games less than Liverpool and if Brighton win these two they are on 61 points - 2 points behind us but for one more game. So Brighton are actually the biggest threat right now.
Not showing up in 2nd half of games is costing us, we were lucky to get a point from the Spurs game.
Chelsea while been bad, have nothing to lose and might give us a game. Cannot write off any team as we always give opportunity to score and play into form.
I forgot Liverpool have already won all their remaining fixtures.
It woudnt surprise me, we are shocking away from
home and we have tough teams to go to, we are are shocking away and shit the bed, so sick and tired of this set of cowards.

If we can’t get 9 points from West Ham (A), Wolves (H), Bournemouth (A), Chelsea (H) and Fulham (H) we don’t deserve top 4!
LFC dippers should be more worried about Brighton than us.
This one hurts. But, I cannot fault Brighton. They are playing well, and I cannot say they did not deserve that. They are having a fantastic season.
I just don't know anymore...ETH is getting what he can (and then some) from a limited squad. We have one decent forward, and three top quality midfielders. After a while, it will take its toll.

Rare to see some sanity on here after a bad result.
Shaw did some poxy volleyball clearance. Its a pen all day
What good chances did we give away today except Mitomas in the first half and the corner that led to the goal today? Same against Villa.
We need 3 wins against 4 bad teams and 1 decent, we will get it. West Ham has lost 2 in a row by the way.
The state of you. Feck off and take your pissed bedsheets with you.
Normally I would agree, but we can’t string passes together, we shit the bed against lesser teams. and we seem to have hit poor form at the crucial point of t he season…..it’s not that laughable to suggest it.
They will win, they are on good form winning 5 back to back while we cannot even score and play a decent 90 minute game. You can trust their form and you can trust united to screw up and throw away top 4. It will happen because we do not have the mentality to be tough during these big away games.
totally agree, need some perspective. Liverpool's fixtures are no easier than ours and we have a game in hand.
Just need to take the games one at a time and pick up the points.
The fact we now have a couple of weeks with no midweek games will also help. It has been a gruelling season and are currently sitting in a position that most United fans would have been delighted with a few months ago.
I really don't get this. Who cares if we deserve it or not? We need CL qualification, especially in our financial situation.
We should still get it but it is by no means safe. Hell, if we don't beat West Ham - and let's face it, we're very unlikely to win there -, we'll need 3 wins out of the last 4. Do you trust this team when the pressure is on? I'm not sure.
538 have us at 86% to finish too four still. The Betfair exchange has us at 80.65%. Three home wins get us finishing above Liverpool, and we will likely need them.
Before this game we had 4 wins and a draw in the league. We played well in the first half and yeah a pretty bad second half but a draw would have been fair.
It will be laughable if we feck it up but we should definitely win 3 more games.
Have you watched us at all over the last few season whenever any kind of pressure is on us.
Expecting us to do anything different than bottle this is just utterly delusional.
These are the exact kind of games where we will fall apart. And then spin the usual 501 excuses about been drained etc
Of all the teams to fecking bottle it to
The luck/referee bias they get will help them over the line

Brighton would have to win every game.
This includes arsenal (a), Newcastle (a) and City (H) it's just never happening. Liverpool are more of a threat than them, as they could realistically win every game in their run in.
We need to win 3 games. We should be more than capable of doing that, people need to chill out.
I don’t think that bloke would need to explain squeaky bum time to Ten Hag anymore…
Hardly ever comment but I'm sick and fcuking tired of our continual bad luck and varpools damn right flukery!!!
Feck off.
We need 9 points from the last 5 games to clinch top four. I can’t really see it the form we're in
Enjoy this thread, everyone.
Fan-dabby-dozy jinxing there on Liverpool, guaranteed is league winning form for a few games much like the relegation thread.
Unlucky, @Skills. You’ll get em next time champ
Few people should take a voluntary sabbatical after this thread
This post really needs a follow up
Lots of people on here really shouldn't be allowed to start hysterical threads like this,
Imagine my shock when I saw who the thread starter was
