Doing our best not to get it, looking like 8 points dropped vs Leeds, Villa & Palace
Race for top 4 | Finito.

To the Europa League thread! 
4 points out of 12.
We haven't a hope of finish ahead of Spurs.They will have a strong finish like last season.
We are only in the race for top 4 because of the mess at Liverpool and Chelsea. Yet we are still struggling. It's Ole all over again.
Amazing how one result can pull us back into this. Hopefully Newcastle continue their form of drawing.
Drop more points on Sunday, forget Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea are back in!
The thought of another season in Europa League is making me sick. But I suppose this is what you get with owners like this. Having to resort to Wout Weghorst and a paper thin squad.
We're so lucky that Liverpool and Chelsea are so shit at the moment.
I think the lesson here is do not entertain any ideas of a title challenge this season (which I've done twice) as we're not good enough yet. Every time the hype train speeds up there's a reminder that we've got a fair way to go.
and unlucky Arsenal and Newcastle are good and performing above expectation?
There are far too many delusional people thinking we're in a title race. We've done great but it's top 4 for this season.
Oh and feck Andre Mariner and the whole roster of cnut referees

Without Casemiro we are definitely not a top 4 side. God forbid he gets injured or suspended again after these three games.
Still dreaming we get top four spot…
I think we pretty much have to get knocked out by Barcelona to have a chance of finishing top 4, sadly. The squad can't handle so many games.
Squeaky bum time!
Who was it that thought Spurs winning was a really good result for us? And those wanting City to win were idiots?
That can't be correct Is it?
To think that some people were happy that Spurs won. We weren’t in a title race and Top 4 is NOT done
Where are the people mocking top 4 or trophy threads, as if the former was already a done deal.
To be fair, that was a minority of idiots.
If anything happens to either Rashford or Casemiro long term then we are genuinely fecked.
It’s a must win now on Sunday and you wouldn’t fancy it after tonight.

I feel like I'm watching a different team to everyone else on here. We're constantly holding into 1 goal leads, it's never a surprise when we drop points because we so rarely win a game convincingly. You have to go into every game knowing it will be a horrible grind to get a close win.
We were never away from it though.

It's 5 from 12.
1-1 v Crystal Palace
2-3 v Arsenal
2-1 v Crystal Palace
2-2 v Leeds
with 3 cup wins sprinkled in between the games.
Half of our first 11 is injured or ill. Tragic.
In a dogfight now for top 4.
The arrogance on here amazes me. I was told I had a losers mentality because I didn't think we could win the title.
There was one particular idiot spouting his shite in every other thread laughing at others but I can't remember who it was now.
It'll be a battle. Let's hope we are up for it. Really need our squad to get fully fit and available for a good 2 month period.
Those 2 points dropped to palace look bad now.
Was always a long long long way from being done. It's going to be a mess like it usually is.
Still can't believe some were saying we're in a title race just this past weekend.
Should have won. Don’t need title winning form to get top 4.
Still 4 points above Spurs. And Newcastle is slowing down. No need to be worried but we must win in Leeds
Yeah, this. We almost never have easy wins in the league - our goal difference doesn't lie. It will be dogfight for top 4.
If only City had got something at Spurs...
Which we know will be impossible
You do need top 4 form, though. United have just taken 5 points from a possible 12 - that's the sort of form that will see us drop to 5th or lower fairly quickly.
I am not worried about Top 4 at all, all of our Top 4 rivals are not good enough, we just haven't had luck with injuries/Reds etc. Top 4 is as good as done.
Erm, what? There was loads of them preaching how we should be looking up after the Spuds Citeh game, blah, blah, blah.
