Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."

Funny how football is. United get two points and they are in. Get 3 points and might not make it.

If we draw tonight and draw with Leicester, we finish higher than them by one point. However, if we win tonight and lose against Leicester, they could finish higher on GD, depending on the scores of today's match and the one against Leicester.
 
I said our performances were a concern and we'd lose to one of West Ham/Leicester. 45 mins to - hopefully - prove me wrong.
 
We're playing at snails pace. There's no chance of us avoiding defeat on Sunday with a performance like the one we're witnessing tonight or the ones we saw vs Chelsea, Palace and Saints. Looks like a bridge too far for this lot.
 
Hey Man Utd all you need to do is draw to West Ham at home to get into the Top 4

Man Utd hold my beer
 
If its of any consolation to United, Leicester isnt in particulary good form either.
 
So there's no real difference (performance issues aside) between a 1-1 and a 3-1 really is there? I guess it forces Chelsea to get at least 3 points from their games.
 
Need to win this game. It's safe because if Chelsea fail to win any one of their remaining two games, we can qualify for Top 4.
 
We're 3rd and that draw doesn't change what we need to do against Leicester
 
This side will lose to Leicester. They simply can't perform when it matters.
 
Thank feck. That was all about not losing tonight.
Theres a realistic chance Chelsea lose their next 2 anyway
 
It's gone. Does anyone really think we can get anything from the Leicester game?? They're run rings round our tired players and you can thank Ole for that!!
 
Chelsea only need 1 point from their last 2 games to finish top 4, right?
 
A win there could have given us another option on last day. Shame.

Anyway, need to get recovery in and get the job done at Leicester.

Can't wait for the boys to get a break and rest now before Europa League.

No it doesn't, whether we won today or drew Leicester have to beat us on Sunday. As would be the case had we won tonight a draw is enough for us on Sunday

Leicester have been awful, are struggling to field a first 11 and have terrible morale. More importantly, they have to win and that should play into our hands. I'm not worried, I was more concerned we'd lose today.
 
We’re gonna bottle top 4. Can’t see us beating Leicester going off our recent performances even although they’ve been shite as well, we’ve went to shit right when it really matters. Whether it’s fatigue or a mental issue I don’t know but will be very surprised if we turn up on Sunday.
