Absolutely no need to panic. If anything, that was a good point considering the way the game panned out.
Race for top 4 | Finito.

Still think we will be fine, but we will drop plenty more points, but so will everyone else.
Well, no it's 6 points (effectively less with our goal difference being so poor) and that team has a game in hand. You have to be utterly bonkers if you think it's safe to say we're there already. Be confident, by all means, but we could just as easily fold what with the schedule being so packed and close to one another. Not to mention our small squad seems to keep on getting smaller.
I'd say we're just on the periphery of being dragged back into the top 4 race. No Casemiro for the next 3 games, Garnacho possibly out for a while and when Rashford doesn't score, the goals dry up.
21 points from 36 should get us top 4 I feel.. 7 wins in 12 ..That would be 71 points
Spurs would need to get 21 from 33 that is 7 wins in 11 ..
Newcastle would need 25 from 39 ..that is 8 wins in 13 ..
Liverpool 31 from 36.

Quite possible we could be 5th if we lose to Newcastle but with games in hand.
..and Wolves have scored
Come on Wolves. If the scores stay the same it's really not been too bad a week.
You are just underrating us and over estimating others around us.
No one is underrating anyone. I think there's only been one good team in the league this season and we've been the best of the rest after City. We're by far the best off out of all the contenders. I'm just saying you'd be stupid to think top 4 is all but secured - no surprise the same people who thought we were challenging for the title.
Of course it not secured but it will be a major feck up if we end up missing the top 4 spot from this position. We need to crumble big time to miss the 4th spot.
I was looking at the table when United had an outside chance of the title.
As for Top 4, I can’t see how United can fall from 3rd to 5th anytime soon.

There could be a chance we drop to 5th in literally our next game.
No there isn't.
we have 50 points right now,, newcastle if they beat us would only have 47.
They play their game in hand v Forest before then.
Arsenal have been the best team in the league though? Having read your posts lately they’re mostly miserable and negative, so the last few results have really fueled you well.
Terrible weekend for Liverpool by the way, especially with the next three fixtures they have coming up
I think with this result Arsenal have CL football secured. Still probably need 6 more points to be 100 % sure.
Yes, Arsenal are the team I refer to when I say there's only been one good team in the league. And are you surprised, we've just got absolutely embarrassed and annihilated 7-0 to our biggest rivals and then dropped more points which has led us to being dragged back into the top 4 race. I just hope it's a blip and we can snap out of it quick.
Some real cnuts officiating the game in this country. That Nick Pope one was a pisstake.
We’ve never not been in the top 4 race? We’re inconsistent and nowhere near the finished article, like the rest of the chasing pack. As long as we don’t miss out, we will have done well in the league this season.
If we can win our home games and avoid defeat to Newcastle in our next three or four and we are in great shape
That Newcastle game is a must not lose but given our away results I've got no confidence we'll manage it.
Still think we will finish in the top four, even though the power's to be are obviously against us.
We can still win the league too.
For once i am happy there is a national break. Will be good for us i think, and maybe Rashford, Bruno, Anthony, Martinez and Shaw all have a tiny tiny ”injury” so they can not go.
I think we will lose to Newcastle and still get top 4. So many points left to play for.
Winnable games yes but not always won as Man United found out today.
Wolves beaten and i expect them to also beat Forest. Newcastle v Man United game on April 2nd a big one now. Must not lose IMO for Man United.
Seeing your post history I don't think you have confidence of waking up in the morning after you go to sleep.
This place loves to build up games, but the game against Newcastle isn’t a cup final, we already had that. We can lose that and it’ll be a bit shit, but it wouldn’t be a season destroyer.
Not sure why people are worried about Newcastle. They won’t win every game after that even if they beat us. They have to also get past Spurs and the scousers first which they very likely won’t
People always get kidded into thinking rivals are going to win every match when looking at point deficits etc.
Bar a proper capitulation we should finish 4th at absolute worst.
Absolutely no way United aren't finishing top 4, only need 18 points from 12 games, the 3 teams below them are far too inconsistent to put go on a runs that would get 2 of them to 70+ points
Great result considering the red card. Point gained.
Everyone really thinks all these teams below us are going to win every game 
This is Newcastle's first win in about 10 games, we're just bedwetters here
It’s fecking embarrassing the state of people on here in this thread.This is Newcastle's first win in about 10 games, we're just bedwetters here
